Why do the Democrats play it so safe? I've never understood this.
I don't know where they get it from or why they think it is *appropriate*! I am just dumbfounded on this.

They play it safe because they're a bunch of chicken-shits.

11. Very simple
We have the wrong people leading both bodies. Reid is too inconsistent and Pelosi...well there aren't even words to describe how poor of a leader she is.

It's painful to listen to her in a town meeting. Downright painful.

If we had Conyers and Kennedy, shit would be flyin'.

The shit wants out.

As for the past...well, America just spent 30 years eating and revelling in what it is now puking out.

14. I don't think we're playing it "safe", it's just that it's hard
. . to convince 59 million people that voted for Bush just 16 months ago that they were wrong!
