Why is it that the pugs can still cause a lot of damage

while a minority party but the Dems, even after 2006, just went along with the Bush agenda, citing they didn't have ENOUGH Dems to counter the pugs?

Even as a majority party they seem pretty wimpy.

1. Tell Me.... Who Won In 2006? Who Overwhelmingly Won In 2008?

Now, tell me again how the Republican's strategy is superior...

3. I wish the Dems would start governing like they

won in 2006 and even bigger in 2008. Too willing to bend over and allow the Republicans and their whores in the media the upper hand in framing the discussion.

Obama has a huge online database, he needs to use it to his political advantage.

2. They really haven't caused any real damage. They're just babbeling

and hoping that someone will pay attention!

I think there's a lot to be said about the few remaining Pubs in the house being from very red areas and pretty secure seats. They have no reason to be bipartisan.

I think you're going to see a different story in the Senate. I still think the package will pass, but it will be interesting to see just how many Pubs jump on board.

7. Could it be that some of the Dems really agree with them? They're rich too.

13. What is bad news for working people is GOOD news

for the investor class (and just because you have a 401(k) does not mean you are a member of the investor class).

9. Myth. It's just a ridiculous myth that the dems went along with the

bush agenda at every turn. For instance, in 2000, not a single dem on the Senate Judiciary voted for Ashcroft despite the tradition of Senatorial courtesty. And only a couple of dems voted for him on the floor. Contrast that with the vote on Holder where only 2 pukes voted against him in Committee. Furthermore, the pukes today didn't stop the stimulus bill from being passed.

Just how are the dems being wimpy? Please actually cite some evidence.

10. They can still bring the bus to a stop anytime they want in the Senate

If they stick together they can stop any bill they want in the Senate.

14. The DLC has nothing to do with it here.

The dems stuck amazingly together on this- including DLCers. But simple theories for simple people, I guess.

16. "here"?

There is no "here" in the OP.

Incorrect "facts" for incorrect people, I guess.
