So... cuts to unemployment aid and food stamps

26. So many excuses.

When we only Congress, we heard 'but we can't do anything without the Senate and the WH. Just make sure to vote THEN we'll see some action'. So the people voted and we got the Senate, Congress and the WH. Next excuse 'but we need a super majority so go vote AGAIN so we have more than the Senate, Congress and the WH. THEN we can get something done'.

One thing I have to admire about Republicans. I never hear them say 'but we're in the MINORITY, the Dems are blocking us'. Nope, they never say that. They manage to CONTROL, well according to what WE are told, everything, EVEN WHEN they are in the MINORITY.

So what it comes down to is this, according to what we are told for years now: It doesn't matter whether we win or not, Republicans are so powerful that no matter how big a victory we have, they still control everything'.

Do you see what you are saying? And do you see why people are beginning to think there's no point in voting AND winning or losing, because no matter what the ALL POWERFUL Republicans will always be in control.

That message is depressing the vote which is why Dems lost in 2010. After such a huge victory all people heard was 'it wasn't big enough'.

I can just imagine what Repubs would have done with a victory like that. Starting in Jan they would have pushed through everything they had been dreaming of and would have done it in the first month. Dems with all that power, couldn't even pass Gays in the Military, then used the excuse later that they didn't have enough votes which they DID had they not waited. They used it later to claim they had to extend the Bush Tax Cuts or the Repubs would not pass it. They must think we are stupid.
