Should we create a WEAKLING INDEX?

Katherine Austin Fitts created something called the "Popsicle Index" to rate security issues.

http://solari.com/about/popsicle_index.html

The Popsicle Index is the % of people who believe a child can leave their home, go to the nearest place to buy a popsicle or snack, and come home alone safely. For example, if you feel that 50% of your neighbors believe a child in your neighborhood would be safe, then your Popsicle Index is 50%. The Popsicle Index is based on gut level feelings of the people who have intimate knowledge of a place, rather than facts and figures.

The purpose of the Popsicle Index is to inspire continuous conversation and learning in every neighborhood and village on earth about what it means to feel safe and secure where you live and work, to be physically free to wander and roam without concern and to identify and shift the people and things that contribute or drain that feeling.

It might be a good idea to create a WEAKLING INDEX to rate Democrats with.

I'm thinking of writing KAF to ask her how we would do that.

What would go into the rating system?

CAVING
Using whining phrases
Voting with Republicans
Not fighting back EVER!

ETC

It would give us a good idea about who to FIRE in primaries.

A "if you're a spineless yellow-bellied coward you're fired" litmus test!

Then we wouldn't have to argue with Dems who come up with endless excuses for why they can't stand up to the Republicans.

When they come up with things like, "We're not losing we're just so much smarter." "We're playing chess and they're playing checkers" "It just looks like we're losing cause you're stupid and don't get it" "I'm trying to change the tone in Washington" "I believe in a spirit of bi-partisanship"

ETC

I would be nice to have a chart to pull up and say. "You've got a 98% score on the weakling index" "We've got to let you go"

SEE YA!

We can start with Dems who sit next to the enemy during the SOTU.

Weak.....on the scale of one to ten. Give if a NINE!

It's not just weak it's PATHETIC TOO!

1. What Democrats need to do is hire all they can find, instead of
firing the ones we have. Unless losing both chambers is the goal there is nothing productive about letting pubs win our seats.
