when I got to this I had to look at the source to make sure I wasn't reading from "The Onion" ...

That deal pissed me off.

It was time to put those crazies in their place.

I believe the radical Right truly are domestic terrorists and our elected congressmen and women, and the President, should be doing all and everything to shut them down. NOW.

And yes. I'm SHOUTING!!!!!!!!!

They ARE domestic terrorists. Nothing more, nothing less. Dealing with their primary weapons of fear and disinformation. Toward their primary goal - destruction.

[link:

their works and the works of those of whom Congressman Cohen speaks are a matter of public record.

that should make the point clear who they are...

Too bad it went on for so long.

Or 20.

if that were so.

Too bad we weren't able to shut down ronald reagan. That's when all the seeds of this evil got planted.

we actually showed that the inmates are not running the asylum.

IMO this.

Each more mindful of the other's strategic vision, Reid and Obama made a mutual commitment to legislative stubbornness. A week after the meeting, Reid threatened to gut the filibuster if Republicans didn't let through a slate of executive nominees. Republicans caved.

Keep the heat on them. Government cannot be taken hostage. There's work to be done and lives to be protected.

it's like he was thinking they'd actually change

That clip of Mitch McConnell saying that the main priority of the Repugs would be to make Obama a one-term President. That told us everything we needed to know. I guess Obama and Reid just thought it was trash talk. We knew better. I think Obama needs to have somebody on his staff to start reading DU.

so, you know, a day or two to negotiate.

to whine and snivel into their Scotch bottles, and, in classic FDR style, got to work repairing the damage done during the Bush disaster.

You can't negotiate with a roomful of toddlers who are in the throes of the worst case of the "Terrible Twos" in history. You child proof the house so they can't hurt themselves, and then you finish your housework without having to clean up their messes all day long.

DECADES of progress in a matter of MONTHS. It makes me sick to think of how Obama and the Democratic Party seized power, but didn't quite know what to do with it. So much MORE good have been done, with the country on its way back to fat and happy.

next 3 1/2 years.

Now just keep it in place. No earned Benefit Cuts. Just raising the cap.

I thank you.

Slam slam get 'em on the ropes yeah babeee

So glad they decided to tell the GOP to pound sand! Stupid people should never be in charge. Yes Dubya, talking about you.

Not going to renegotiate. That's what it was. They just keep giving the R's soundbites. Dems really need to learn to play the soundbite and framing game which sadly exists and plays a large part in this stupid media game.

with the Tea Party leaders as their goal is not democracy or the continuation of the federal government.
