In reply to the discussion: Biden: McConnell decided to withhold all cooperation even before we took office [View all]WinstonSmith4740

"Joe, Im not going to be able to help you on anything, he recalls. His informants said McConnell had demanded unified resistance."
Yes, they could have. If they had 1% of the patriotism and concern for the people of this country, and The Constitution they supposedly worship so much, they would have told McConnell to go fuck himself. The country was reeling from the Bush screw-ups and the financial shenanigans of the banking industry. The economy was losing 800,000 jobs per month, people were losing their homes, and all those bastards were concerned about was keeping their own jobs, and regaining power. They should have done what was best for the country, not Mitch McConnell, and not Grover Norquist. Fuck 'em.
I think the public may be coming around to this on their own, but since this confirms what is probably now at the back if everyone's mind, this needs to be spread ALL OVER the media.
In fact, here's the damn ad:
Our country was in trouble. Manufacturing jobs were being sent offshore. Banks were gambling with your money. But Republicans were more concerned about keeping their jobs than helping you. And now they want you to vote for the person who thinks that was a good idea...and wants to do it again. Change is still possible in America. It's not too late. But it can't be done with when people who think like this are left in power. Return Obama to office, and give him people who will work with him for YOU.
