They've all been sounding the same to me coming from two different factions. Unrec.

11. Go ahead and have freedom and choice. This just falls in line with what Teabaggers want.
When I think if people focused on taking these teabaggers out we could have a progressive/liberal congress pushing liberal bills which of course this President would sign. And if he didn't...they could push it anyway and make it law since Congress has the power to overturn the President's veto's.

However, I see most liberals don't think like that. They see Obama is the problem, not realizing that these teabaggers and Republicans just fuckin' hate Democrats and would undermine and hurt the presidency of ANY Democratic President----what would Dems do? Continuously primary their own? Stupid waste of time in my book. Get the shit done where it matters.

10. "Now, this is largely symbolic
Edited on Wed Aug-03-11 08:55 PM by ProSense
<...>

Now, this is largely symbolic, but it's heavy nonetheless. They're ticked that Obama hasn't ditched the Bush tax cuts, has continued drone attacks overseas, and hasn't ended the foreclosure crisis, among other sins listed below. The straw that broke their collective caucus backs, Caucus chair Karen Bernal told us Wednesday, was Obama's -- as the resolution put it -- "unilateral closed-door budget offer to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, which endangers the New Deal and War on Poverty safety nets."

<...>

Bernal doesn't plan to ask the full California Democratic Party to approve the resolution. It was meant more as a statement of conscience than a desire to back a rival to Obama, she said. "Is there a sense of desperation in this?" Bernal said. "I would have to say yes."

The caucus, according to a spokesman, hopes that "Obama would rework his priorities to respond to the needs of working class Americans in order to get progressive support in 2012."

California Democratic Party chair John Burton --- who supported Kennedy versus Carter in 1980 -- told us that he doesn't agree with this resolution.

<...>

Absurd!
