(6,234 posts)They sent Obama to Washington with unprecedented majorities in both houses of Congress and all they got in exchange were excuses and votes in favor of the very things Democrats had told them they would vote against. Obama himself vowed to veto any health care reform that lacked a public option, then took the public option off the table the minute the votes were counted. Kinda like jow he spent the last election pledging that he wouldn't touch social security, then he offered to destroy it before he was sworn in for his second term.
Your position is weak. You claim that they had a super majority in the Senate, but not a big enough super majority, and they had a majority in the house, but they just need a bigger one. Always more, more, more, Democratic representatives need more, and until then they just have no fucking choice but to shrug and pass GOP legislations.
My position is this: if this is the best that they can do then there is no point wasting our time voting for them, because we are never going to get better. We need to send this batch of jackass clowns home and start over with new Representatives who will actually fight for the things they pledge to fight for.
