Now THIS is Bi-Partisanship!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha![/font]
At the time TARP was approved by Congress
the Democrats had Majorities in the House & Senate,
and (then Senator) Obama lobbied FOR and voted FOR Tarp.
(No Charge for the History Lesson).
It is past time to start holding OUR Party responsible for their actions and inactions,
instead of just blaming Republicans for all the ills.
We can't "fix" The Republicans, and blaming THEM for being Republicans serves no useful purpose.
They will continue to be exactly WHO and WHAT they are.
I don't vote for Republicans.
I don't campaign for Republicans.
I don't GOTV for Republicans.
I don't send my money to Republicans.
They have no reason to listen to me.
I expect them to behave exactly like Republicans.
I DO vote for Democrats.
I DO campaign FOR Democrats.
I DO GOTV for Democrats.
I DO send my Working Class Dollars to Democrats.
I EXPECT Democrats to ACT like DEMOCRATS by representing my Main Street Working Class ASS!
When they betray the American Working Class and act like Republicans through Bank Bailouts, Privatization of The Commons, and more "Free Trade",
I have damned well earned the RIGHT to express my disapproval.
I have EARNED the right to a VOICE in the Party of the Working Class.
Maybe if we all work together
we CAN "fix" The Democrats.
But if we do NOTHING,
then nothing changes.

I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."
