The last time I remember Democrats really standing up was
nomination of the Bork and then Clarence Thomas.

How the hell long ago was that?

3. I'm talking a real spectacle. Something to really remember. Where they had fire in their bellies.
Where they used their mouths, kicked their feet, and used every trick in the book to prevent something from happening.

4. Have you been snoozing since 1991?
Edited on Mon Aug-01-11 10:13 PM by jefferson_dem
Do you not remember Clinton's Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993?

Or Booosh's little privatazation scheme that went down in flames?

Or the nearly 66,000,000 people who voted the Democrat into the Oval Office in 2008?

6. Obama conning 66 million people into thinking he'd bring change counts as an accomplishment?

7. So 130 m. people (more than have ever voted in a presidential election) were conned
And millions more are still being conned... Since 85%+ Dems/Liberals support him and 85%+ of Reps/Conservatives oppose him.

9. Obama offered to cut Social Security..

This was not a GOP proposal he was responding to, Barrack Obama offered to cut Social Security.

In the 70+ years since it was started, can you name any national Democratic politician who has offered to cut Social Security???

I can name one, president Obama.
