Okay, Democrats hanging tough on this ...

"no negotiation on the debt ceiling" thing ... Democrats getting arrested at an Immigration rally ... When Democrats add introducing Jobs Bills to the mix, no one will be able to convince me that Democrats aren't implementing the winning plan to sweep 2014! This isn't a coincidence ... shhhhh!

must be primed.

Coming out in this fashion would have made Democratic voters jumping up and down; but few others. This is a strategy that is cooked, glazed and ready to be sliced, designed to pull in everyone (except the most right leaning voter)!

the other day that people just don't want to "connect the dot" in his/her post about the CIA being a tool of the 1%. My immediate reaction was ... , as on a page full of dots, one can draw whatever picture one wants to see.

I have never given up on President Obama or the Democratic Party, so I choose to believe that this "new" Democratic attitude, at this particular moment, is not hap-stance.

As I explained ... repeatedly ... I was saying that the basis of governance is considering any and all offers in a negotiation, rather than rejecting them out of hand. This is demonstrated in my next post in that thread when I wrote:

I agree about what is currently on the table; but "no deaj" means no deal ... not even if the gop offered to allow medicare for all to replace ObamaCare as a condition to raise the ceiling. Not that that will be offered, but the we cannot have the perfect be the enemy of the good.


{Hint: CONSIDERING does not equal ACCEPTING!}

But you just keep trying ... maybe some of your reading comprehension challenged bullsh!t will stick.

I apologize if I get a little testy ... I have a DU stalker that constantly mis-reads/mis-interprets/lies about what I didn't say in my posts or takes them out of context, then re-posts the same mis-read/mis-interpreted/lied about post weeks later ... as if I had set him/her straight the first 15 times.

And fear for the country at the same time.

I hope from the ashes, we will dominate for decades.
