So... Basically... The Party Of Whack-Job-Nuts And The Party Of Spineless Noodles... |
|
have agreed to make the lame duck session, where there will be NO political consequences for their votes, the arena of serious policy debate.
No wonder all are hated.
:evilfrown:
From Romeo and Juliet:
Where be these enemies? Capulet! Montague! See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love! And I, for winking at your discords too, Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punish'd.

I'll be voting for Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer, and Ami Bera against Dan Lungren. Plus Prop 19 and 25 to name a couple.
If DiFi were on the ballot, not so much.

3. They're not all spineless |
|
Patrick Murphy (PA) seems like he has some oomph! Too bad he doesn't decide.

10. While I agree about the nonspineless list - Sanders is not a Democrat. |
|
He's a weak Socialist, not a hard SOCIALIST economically, but a moderate American socialist.
I'd like the guy in person but I fall two clicks to the LEFT of him.

7. The Rasmussen poll w/51% favoring full extension melted their iron spines. |

Seriously, the tax extension issue was a gift and the most favorable election issue I've ever seen for Democrats and yet we punted the ball. Even the White House recognized we had a winner and seemed willing to go out until November and hammer the point that Republicans would not let anybody have a tax cut until the richest got theirs first.
A sure winner . . . gone. Break out the profiles in courage award for Congressional Dems.
