Progressives have EVERY reason to be filled with energy to DEFEAT REPUBLICANS in November. [View All]

[RBInMaine]

"Progressive" means making PROGRESS. It doesn't mean ideological purity, and it doesn't mean snatching defeat from the jaws of PROGRESS. November is about defeating the dangerous, horrendous,
TeaRadical RePUKElicans. THAT is what it is about! It is about continuing PROGRESS in the right direction or going BACKWARD to the horrid Bush/Cheney nightmare policies of the recent past. Please do not allow people to suffer from amnesia. Progressives (and the ENTIRE country) now have PROGRESS with Dems and Obama. Here is some:

1) Combat operations in Iraq ENDING - 90,000 fewer troops there - COMPLETELY out within a year
2) Lilly Leadbetter Fair Pay Law
3) Expanded SCHIP Law for kids healthcare
4) Reproductive Choice blocks removed
5) Stimulus bill that created or saved MILLIONS of jobs with working/middle class tax cuts and the largest investment in green energy EVER
6) Saved THOUSANDS of auto industry jobs with the loans being repaid, and new and better products being made HERE in America
7) PROGRESS with the healthcare bill to lower costs, increase access, saves BILLIONS in waste and abuse, and also makes college loans more affordable and available to hundreds of thousands of students
8) PROGRESS with the Wall St. reform bill to reign in the worst practices and increase oversight
9) A new law to better protect people frm crime on our Native American reservations
10) A new law to decrease marketing of tobacco products to kids
11) TWO EXCELLENT WOMEN appointed to the Supreme Court
12) Fighting the anti-immigrant law in Arizona
13) A targeted tax credit law to spur job creation especially in small business
14) Fighting like hell to pass another small business jobs bill centered on increasing small business lending
15) FINALLY an unemployment insurance extention bill passed (no thanks to the RePUKES)
16) Dems and Obama are opposed to extending tax cuts for the richest 2% of greedy filthy fat cats who don't need them and which don't create a single job.

17) ***** And just today, FINALLY (again, no thanks to RePUKES), an extension stimulus bill has cloture and is moving forward to save hundreds of thousands teacher and public safety jobs as states struggle with their budgets.

We have OBAMA and DEMOCRATS to thank for all of this, with the ReSCUMlican Party fighting us with lies and abuse of procedure to block us every single step of the way. How could anyone even contemplate not getting the hell out there and working like hell to preserve our congressional majorities? We got hit with the worst recession since the 30's thanks to Bush and RePUKES, they have married themselves to the horrid TeaRacists, and they handed Obama and Dems a massive shitpile to clean up. And what is their plan? To go right straight back to deregulating Wall St., massive tax cuts for the filthy rich, gutting Social Security and Medicare, and repealing healthcare. Want that? If not, get the hell out there and work like hell to DEFEAT REPUKELICANS ! (I am canvassing again today !)
