3. I m getting more and more disgusted with the demos

How the HELL did they not vote to end the filibuster? Why is Obama always "reaching out"? to these radicals? Why has Obama ceded the SS debate to the Repbs over the Chained CPI? Did he not know they would now use that against Democrats in the next election?

Why have they not demanded the Fairness Doctrine be implemented and break the monopoly far right media? Why have then not demanded the congress confirm all those nominees Obama has made to the Federal Courts? Why are they not screaming from every media, that the Repbs are a vicious minority that has obstructed Obama and the electorate at every turn?

Do you realize that everyone laughs at Harry Reed when he threatens to "keep the Senate working all weekend" because they all know ..Repbs and Demos, that he wont do it.. Why the hell do they refuse to challenge his pitiful leadership when he pulls bills just because Republicans threaten to defeat them..Repubs then go around saying "Democrats cant get a bill passed" ignoring the fact that it was them that threatened to defeat it!.. If Reed had put the bill forward and it was defeated at least Demos could go to the people and say " "look what we tried to do and look what they did" but thanks to his weak leadership, they cant.

A large section of the Democrats are sickening cowards and weak-kneed milquetoasts afraid to be called "extremists and divisive"by the likes of Limbaugh and Hanity!! How pathetic..

And then they will lament the "enthusiasm gap" next election.

I have said it before and will say it again..its the Marching Pitbulls vs the Cowardly Tabbies..
