ROFL! Good advice.

I was reading DU earlier, they have abandoned THE ONE! It’s too funny over there!

[jazusamo]

Yep, Baghdad Jim jumped out at me, he’s a commie.

[jazusamo]

Glad to hear it. LOL!

Actually, Zero needs an anti psychotic drug...strong drugs...too strong for anyone who is acting as president...hello Biden...

Does the Navy use garbage scows? I vote for that.

For over EIGHT straight years the American public was LIED to that the Bush tax rates only provided CUTS to the wealthy. Now their heads are exploding because they want the same tax rates extended for the middle class. My TV never ever goes on any of the alphabet channels, and it never will again.

I want the GOP to stand up and remind the entire nation of the RAT lies every chance they get - they are not doing that.

If the Democrats are politically savvy (and they are), they will walk out on the deal, and stonewall anything they don't like in the next session. It's a perfect setup for the usual "Nice Democrats vs. Mean Republicans" gambit, and you know whose side the media will be on.

That would work for them IF they hadn't spent the last eight years saying the GOP was the "party of NO." If they now become the party of no, the Republicans will use that very effectively against them.

[jazusamo]

Amen to that! Especially the new House with the majority we have and it’ll be easier in the new Senate with the added seats.

DU, HP is complete meltdown

I don't think so. There's a double standard where such things are concerned. For the Dems, it can and probably will be characterized as a "principled stand."

The Democrats can, as they always do, claim to be standing up for the little guy -- and they have no scruples about using that endless supply of good folks who really are hurting.

The Republicans, meanwhile, are forced to argue on the basis of why Congress shouldn' help out people who are hurting.

Americans are, by and large, nice people who don't mind helping other people out. And it's very true that good people are hurting. And for that reason, the Democrats have by far the easier job in convincing people of their position.

Over decades they've figured out how to make the emotional appeal, and they've dulled peoples' senses about the economic and moral difficulties associated with their position.

The R's have got to start working on educating people about reality. It may not be possible until things break for real, though.

"Wondering what vessel the Navy has that would warrant such embarrassment."

[Hardraade]

WH Presser and apocalisp. How appropriate.

[milagro]

AND—they have to start realizing that playing on emotions is as necessary as “playing” to intellect. Some people vote with their heads—but more vote with their GUT! Time for Pubs to stop “being above that” and use soundbites that don’t just buzz around the brain, but actually carry a STING!

[Cheerio]

That is purely delusional. Sort of like only whitey is able to be racist whenever he questions the first black President. The GOP has no way to use that effectively against the RATS when the RATS own the state run media. The GOP will always be the "old mean" party of NO when they frame every debate and are the one setting the table before the negotiations commence.

Just take a poll of those drawing unemployment who they voted for in 2008.

I lost my job one year ago this month.

I have not even thought about applying for unemployment.

My situation is my concern and not a thing that I would put off on my fellow citizens.
