Just Saying… (#8)
Do they really think that the left will swallow this stuff and say, “thank you sir, may I have another?”
The Republicans have been saying that for the Democrats to be truly bipartisan, they have to stop proposing things that they know the right won’t approve. But hasn’t the health care plan been whittled down to almost nothing, just to appease the right, who aren’t voting for it anyway? I’m growing tired of saying, yet again, that Democrats and Republicans are two sides of the same coin, and that we need something different in this country.
On another note, all this talk about MA Governor Elect Scott Brown upsetting the 60-vote, filibuster proof Democratic majority is a huge crock of shite. The Democrats never had 60 people to count on. not when they vote like real people – different ways on different issues. Throw in the all-consuming reelection campaigns, and Democrats will never be able to do what they want in America.

Hear hear.
And whatever power does come from a 60-person majority, you know the Republicans would have wielded with a vengeance, while the Democrats are constantly stuck in a hopeless mindset of powerlessness and appeasement.
