I'm sick of this "Dems don't have an agenda" crap
1. Get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan

2. Roll back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthy.

3. Raise the minimum wage.

4. Eliminate earmarks and address senseless runaway spending.

5. Address global warming

6. Rebuild the Gulf Coast

7. Develop an energy policy making us less dependent on oil.

8. Develop a national health policy and get medical and drug spending under control.

9. Educate our people and our workforce.

10. Work for a negotiated solution to the Arab/Israeli conflict.

11. Open a dialogue NOW with North Korea and Iran.

12. Restore the Fairness Doctrine and insist on divestiture of Media conglomerates.

13. Address immigration in a comprehensive way and provide an avenue for the 12 million illegals here to naturalize.

These are just a few things we need to do. EVERYBODY knows we have to do them. What America wants is someone addressing problems; not playing more spin games. We may not be able to address all these problems successfully, but Americans sure as hell want us to try. Let's do it. If that means being confrontational with the Republicans, then so be it.

1. On the other hand, the people with the 'plans' were kicked out and replaced
with the people who'd supposedly sit around and drink margaritas.

Says a lot about their 'plans' eh? As in , PLEASE JUST STOP!

3. Exactly, I just heard "Conservative" Jim Webb's campaign
manager tick off most of the items on my "agenda" as things that need to be addressed. We want problems fucking addressed. If the Republicans want to stand in the way, they'll be shoved aside -- just as they were Tuesday.

If they think Americans want more of the last 6 years, they're sadly mistaken.

5. We have an agenda and we have plans to fix the repugs screw ups.
The problem is, the corporate owned media whores won't let us talk about our plans. That backfired on them. :rofl: Even without the agenda they say we don't have and that they won't tell Americans about, the repugs got a thumpin' :rofl:

6. It's all they have left now
Except for the mantra that a witch hunt will be forthcoming, i.e. these people are going to be held accountable for their criminal actions.

7. It's only been in plain English on the Democratic website for years.
I guess reading is too intellectually challenging for these stupid fucks.
