1. For them to do that, it would require a backbone...

which neither Pelosi or Reid have.

7. I never voted for Pelosi or Reid

If I was in their state, I would work to get them out of office.

12. We don't vote for Senate and House leadership..

The assholes we elect do it though.

It doesn't even matter how many dem senators or reps we have. Our dem leaders are fucking wimps, so they just roll over to the repukes on everything. :mad:

10. Let them fillibuster...

and let the American people witness the atrocity that has systematically been running this country into the ground for some twenty odd years.
