End DADT... End DOMA... End Tax breaks for the rich... Pass a strong jobs bill... Invest in new energy... Pass strong regulations against Wall Street... End Iraq war... Commit to ending Afgan war in July 2011... Close Gitmo... Crack down on tax cheats... Do ALL of this before November 2010 and you will have won back my support.

1. Add "Stop reaching across the aisle" to that list as well.
It's the only way they're going to get anything done, the Republicans are the party of NO.

3. Pass EFCA, put real public campaign finance reform on the table...
... and pass it if there's time. Also, free Don Siegelman and start some SERIOUS investigations into the crimes of last administration.

5. No I don't think anyone does. Let the GOP win

The last 9 years were clearly not that bad for you so make your point and lets bring on another 8 years of GOP rule.

6. And the one thing that can lead to all of that:
End the filibuster rule in the Senate and pass the Democratic agenda while ignoring the dishonest squeals of the Republicans.

7. It's so FUCKING SIMPLE
And the politicians can't figure it out. I think they ALL are not quite the sharpest knives on the Christmas tree.

13. 2 questions - First, are there 51 votes in the Senate to do it with reconciliation
and second, can a public option be the subject of the reconciliation process? If the answer to both questions is yes, then by all means let's do it.
