It is becoming apparent what the republican agenda is

ACT like they won.

ACT like they have the momentum.

ACT like they are setting the agenda.

And the media will carry it forth like this is reasonable.


Please, President Obama...set these clowns straight on their ass.

Get out there and CLAIM YOUR MANDATE. Sooner than later. Please.

a strategy that stops the Republicans from hijacking our legislative branch.

Maybe some executive orders. Maybe some class action law suites against the Republicans for tying up our Congress for 4, now going on 5 years just for the
imagined best interests of the Republican Party.

per recent polls.... like raising taxes on the richest Americans to reduce the deficit.

I recall a recent Republican president (BUSH???) who claimed a mandate to privatize Social Security which was in no way supported by Americans including members of his own party.

Hey DU, we can make our voices heard. Let's hit Boehner and McConnell with thousands of phone calls.
