[DontTreadOnMe]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced this morning that Republicans plan to block ALL legislation... for the next TWO YEARS!

Wake up Obama!

3. McConnell clearly is anti-democratic, and worse, traitorous to

this country. The man has no concept of integrity regarding the Constitution and the presidency.

4. And, so what else is news, Bubby?

Hmmmmm?:eyes:

5. I think that is their plan too.....

For such a religious bunch their hearts are filled with hate. They hate children, they hate the unemployeed, they hate poor people, they hate gays...they hate blacks, they hate imigrants. Who don't they hate?

6. You're dead-on. Who do they think they're kidding?

Of course, the White House will capitulate again. Obama is the new Charlie Brown. He's never going to get to kick that football.

7. No problem. Democrats should just use Senate rules to force real Republican filibusters

beginning with the unemployment compensation extension and tax cut for non-millionaires.

So far Democrats have refused to use their congressional powers to stop Republican obstructionism.

The details on how Democrats can effectively use their control of Congress have been posted many times on Democratic Underground.

But, the Democratic leadership in the Senate has only used its power one time under Senator Reid to force an authentic on-the-floor Republican filibuster. That Republican filibuster collapsed in less than 24 hours!

And Democrats can always threaten to use or actually use the Constitutional Option to pass their legislation just as Republicans threatened to do in 2005 with great success.

8. They will do this EVERY time if rewarded

Call this bet, or surrender the agenda to the Repukes.

9. New slogan: Don't Appease the GOPs!

We all know just how well the Munich Agreement worked....
