23. First of all ignore everyfuckingthing that Chucky Toadd says
He exists only to belittle Democrats and suck up to repubs.

Secondly, I was listening to Rachel Maddow tonight describe the role of a Senate party whip, namely to "whip" members into line to get them to vote for the party's position on a given bill. And it made me wonder, do the Democrats have a "whip"? Who the hell is it? Why isn't he/she whipping the asses of some Democratic senators to get them to support the Democrats position on health care.

The only reason I can think of is that the Democrats do not HAVE a position on health care and that is exactly the problem. Obama has basically farmed the job out to the congress and they are going to come up with a health plan designed by committee which by definition is gonna suck. It's the president's job to propose a plan not 500 other people.

I can't believe Obama fucked this up on his own. He's too smart for that> But I think he's getting some real shitty advice from some aides in very high positions within his administration.

Like um, I dunno,,,,,
