(2,506 posts)The Dem leadership just doesn't get it. The country wants a vast and massive swing away from these foolish policies and back towards something that makes sense. This is not the 'fault' of the republicans, this is the fault of the policies that DEMS THEMSELVES have selected and pushed.
Stop trying to turn everything into an excuse for the dems. They are headed in the wrong direction and the country knows it. If you want enthusiasm, then earn it by LEADING in the right direction and not selling out every chance they get.
GET SOME BACKBONE AND LEAD!!!
Massive military cuts
Higher taxes for the wealthy
Eliminate capital gains, and dividend differential and tax all income the same regardless of source
Raise the social security ceiling
and stop trying to blame teachers and other workers for incompetence and greed of the leadership
