other than to make Democratic activists feel good? The average voter isn't watching this debate.

We can't afford to be timid. In fact Dems should be on every cable news channel telling Americans that the Rs want the poor, sick, and elderly to die.

The Rs would do even worse if they had a chance to make Dems look bad. Hell they are trying to make Dems look bad now by saying they are obstructing.

Edit to add: It makes me angry that the vocal people would rather focus on criticizing President Obama for making money than constantly reminding the public that rethugs are heartless scum. We need a dem leader who focuses the entire party on fighting the Rs. It's like being on a ship adrift in a storm with no captain. It really pisses me off. Sorry for rant...
