"Blaming Obama for this alone is silly. This was the most radical congress since at least the LBJ congress (perhaps the post-watergate congress)."

This Congress isn't that different than democrat fascist have been ever since LBJ, they just never had someone to take the fall for them by claiming that they were having their arm twisted to go along. I remember well how back under LBJ all sorts of news reports would talk about LBJ practically beating someone in order to make them go along. But, when it was time to put the drunks on the subway and send them over to vote, it was obvious they hadn't been anywhere near LBJ or anyone else except Jack Daniels during the time he was supposedly twisting arms.

The people who have been there a long time, all of those who rode in with Clinton, and especially those who took over in 2007 have all wanted the same things Barry Soetoro wants but have always wanted their status and power more. When they finally let themselves be blinded by the brave new world of Barry, they were prancing like little unicorns all the way to make their "difficult votes".

(Passed along the ever popular, yet stolen from FR, Biden Rogaine joke.)

It's an honor she stole that from FR, but she's still using it?!? Yikes, we need to get her new material!!

One thing that gives this away as a CBS/NYT poll is the so-called majority wanting to keep the Health Care law. That said, since clearly that part is slanted, just how much did they slant the rest of the poll and STILL end up with majorities of these groups favoring the Pubs. Tuesday could end up being more of a disaster for the Dems than anticipated.

“This Congress isn’t that different than democrat fascist have been ever since LBJ, they just never had someone to take the fall for them by claiming that they were having their arm twisted to go along.”

The rats in congress are not that much different, agreed. But the past two years, they have had a near-filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and enough extra votes in the house to let their blue-dogs cast pretend “votes of conscience” and still pass their radical agenda. So this congress is far more radical than previous ones (since LBJ) even though the rats in it are the same ol’ radical Joes.

Bingo. More men out of work and the little woman’s paycheck is all that stands between the happy couple and a barrel in the street. Small town America is filled with families in this position.

...she's still using it?!?

Dunno about that. She said it at some non-televised event and it was the roar of the evening. Since then I've heard nothing much but I wouldn't blame her. It's a good one.
