In reply to the discussion: BULLSHIT that it's a victory. Let's get our compasses straight as Democrats. [View all]cliffordu
(30,994 posts)Progressives are not in the majority of this universe or world or even the Party and particularly in the Congress......so you really gotta stop sniveling about how you LOST the health care debate.
And complaining about the DADT repeal date is a little disingenuous seeing as how Obama MADE the military do their little study, and admit that everyone in the military wouldn't turn gay is DADT would be overturned.
Complaining about the time line is....well....nevermind.
And that statement about blocking the end to discriminatory law is just complete bullshit.
Ending of the Bush tax cuts were already in place - Obama made sure that they were locked in with the fiscal cliff negotiations some time back....Remember when he chumped most of the Republicans into signing on to this because they NEVER thought these draconian cuts to the MIC could EVER come to pass??? Again. The end of the bush tax cuts are about two weeks away. What discussion did you want??
Your lectures about WHEN DADT should have been dismantled are useless at this point.
SS is not on the table. Keep watching. It was (is) a canard meant to set up the Republicans:
Obama offered to let them cut an "entitlement" and because there was a tax involved in it, the baggers in the party cut Boner off at the knees.
They look like the utter fucking fools they are. Expect more "offers" from the Obama administration. Expect that the fucking Baggers to fall for it every god damned time.
Expect the House in 2014.
Don't fuck with Obama. He will send your party home with their platform broken, strung together and draped around their necks like sad, failed jewelry.
He just did.
