I'm sorry but the Democratic Party is not doing its job.

170. Ahh yes. The "Be Happy with What You Got" Theory.

You are making a wild assumption that I dont know how government works. And you assume that if I learned, then I would be ok with poor health care for our children and bombing middle east countries. You are way wrong on both counts.

If we do things your way we will settle, and settle until we have nothing. Each step of the way down the toilet can be justified by the so-called pragmatists, as "The Best You Can Get" so be happy.

You may be swell with the gradual increase of the water temperature in the pot, but I sure the hell aint. Time to jump out of the fucking pot and kick some 1% ass (metaphorically of course) and if the so-called pragmatists are in the way, then kick their asses also.

There are some very basic things that I want:
Decent health care for all American children.
Decent meals for all American children.
An end to the police state.
A significant reduction of our bloated defense budget.
Investment in our infrastructure.
Nationalize the banks.
Jobs, jobs, jobs.

Now to a so-called pragmatist, I suppose that looks like a pony. They are willing to let some children die of hunger because that's the best we can hope for. I say bullshit. We cant stand by and watch the 1% rob us blind while the so-called pragmatists stand by doing nothing.
