"Capitulation We Can Believe In."

[Cattledog]

Obama's 2012 campaign slogan. Dems control 2/3's of Govt. The Repubs 1/3. The Repubs are getting 2/3rd's of what they want. Go figure!

1. Not really a student of civics are you?

:eyes:

[RagAss]

2. That's us ! Quit before the battle starts.

[Drale]

3. I was under the impression that the government is about to be shut down

because the Democrats are standing up to the Repukes? They just can't win with some people can they?

4. I disagree. The Republicans are getting everything they want, just like under Bush. n/t

[NYC Liberal]

5. I'd recommend a civics course if you think

having a majority in the Senate means you automatically get 2/3 of what you want.

[Cali_Democrat]

8. So then why do the Republicans get 2/3 of what they want...

when they only control half of Congress?

9. I don't know, do they? Do you have a link which proves it?

This is DU and unless there is a link then it's just an opinion.

6. It's all about campaign contributions end of discussion!!!!!

The dems will never really listen to their base because the media and corporations will laugh at them and or ignore them and not give them money. We are the enemy to out corporate owned government. Obama has no choice nor does the bought and paid for corporate democrats. The few real progressives in congress never get air time nor are they asked about their stances. On the other hand the right no matter how far right get all the air time they could ever dream of.

7. Which means it's all about campaign finance reform, and nothing else. n/t

10. Many of your fellow citizens support what the Reps are proposing.

You may not like the policies but the obligation to accommodate them to some significant degree is obvious.

11. Capitulation We Can Believe In

Let's hope the Republicons force a government shutdown. By going two-thirds of the way the public will blame the Cons. When this blows up in their face the democrats will be in a better negotiating position. Let's call their bluff...they are frauds.
