42 Repub freshmen want President Obama to call off the dogs...

[kentuck]

They are getting lambasted back home for their vote on the Ryan bill to destroy Medicare. They want the Democrats to stop reminding the voters about their votes. They are now asking President Obama to intervene.

Why did they not think of that before they cast their vote. They let their weasel leadership twist their arms into voting for that piece of crap and now they are sorry. Well, votes have consequences. If they are so weak and dependent, perhaps they shouldn't be in Congress in the first place. We need people that are able to think for themselves, not puppets for their Party. Go to hell, suckers!

1. Call a wahmbulance!

[LynneSin]

37. You call for the Whambulance!!

Just wake me up before you Go-Go!!!

[roguevalley]

39. what kind of idiot do you have to be to believe that will happen?

did they call off their stupid ads etc during their campaigns? It sort of doesn't cast a good light on Obama's intestinal fortitude that they thought he would do it. Now that he's stepping up more they will find a new resolve. I hope. :} That would be the list I would use to formulate campaign strategies to end their careers. They just revealed major weaknesses.

[LynneSin]

42. I think Obama gave 2 years to try reaching out to the REpublicans and finding consensus

I think Obama isn't going to put up with that crap anymore.

[roguevalley]

64. I hope not. I almost see batter wife syndrome going on here. :-}

[The Wielding Truth]

85. So true. They can do the most ridiculous things. It's time Repub's face reality.

[russspeakeasy]

94. An approval rating of 60% does have its advantages..

Tell them to go piss up a rope.

[AlbertCat]

98. I think Obama isn't going to put up with that crap anymore.

What do they expect him to do? Forbid Dems to speak? Like they would just stop. Our party is not in lockstep and does not follow orders mindlessly.

Repugs are so small minded. They think everyone acts like they do.

the repugs in the house are really asking obama to tell dems to leave the repugs alone? really? cause i personally find that such an amazing .... hoot.

Here's one:

It's all over the news. I'm surprised you had not heard about it or read about it.

11. watched a little maddow last night. mostly my tv watching is stewart and colbert

when hubby comes upstairs and turns on tv.

i dont watch tv.

thanks

i love it, though. thanks for posting.

[freshwest]

103. kentuck, Do you have a youtube of huffpo link to the Maddox show on this?

[blondeatlast]

27. Rachel Maddow was all over it last night. nt

[seabeyond]

32. missed it. i was laughing, tellig my boys about it this morning. i think it is so funny. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

4. Excuse me while I reach for a Kleenex. . .NOT

So they're getting castigated by their constituents - probably those who didn't want them in office to begin with? Tough shit, crybabies - this goes with the territory if you're a Congressional rep.

As a Democrat once said, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

:nopity:

P.S. A link would help us, thanks.

[whathappened]

10. i love it

the little yuppy fookers are getting there asses creamed at there little town hall meetings , maybe next time they will just drink tea , and leave the tea party crowd to all the real nut cases

[Enrique]

5. this class of GOP freshmen said all kinds of things about Obama

how extreme he is, etc.

Now they're calling on him to take their side over his own party?

Why would he do that, if he's so extreme?

[malaise]

31. The joke of the year

:rofl:

[JDPriestly]

33. Actually, I think that Obama may have encouraged them to think

Democrats would support cutting Medicare.

The plan Republicans propose sounds rather suspiciously like Obama's health care reform for the rest of the population.

Obama may have killed Bin Laden, but he is still a Republican in sheep's clothing on economic issues -- especially Wall Street, foreclosures and healthcare.

[emsimon33]

70. Agreed! Obama is a real Republican (as opposed to the wackos calling themselves Republicans)

In fact, he may end up being one of the great Republicans--selling our country to the highest bidder. Going, going, gone to oligarchy!

[baldguy]

6. That's a TV ad.

"Your Congressmember voted Medicare, now they want you to forget about it."

[geardaddy]

57. Yes.

Nice one!

[emsimon33]

71. Wow! Simple but sooo effective!

[aquart]

112. For or against?

[no_hypocrisy]

7. They should speak to Paul Ryan, not Obama.

[Control-Z]

88. If they did that

it might be construed as faulting Ryan, instead of Obama, who, we all know, is the one at fault.

[Skidmore]

8. Keep hounding them, Mr. President.

Sic 'em.

[brewens]

9. Let's see if I can work up a little sympathy for them.....................

Nope! Not yet. Maybe another cup of coffee and I'll try again.

[hobbit709]

12. none here after 3 cups.

[freshwest]

100. Thanks, I like your spirit. You'll be up all night now, so keep posting!

:rofl:

[Uben]

13. Please help us, Mr. President, please

We're not gonna vote for a goddamned thing you want to pass, but would you please quit telling the American people how fucking stupid we are? How can we get re-elected if you keep reminding Americans how we vote? We're congress members and we are not supposed to be held accountable for our partisan politics.

[JHB]

14. Don't tell them to go to hell...

Tell them "I'll think about it...if you give me a reason to think about it. Let's talk again in a few months, and we'll see what your voting record looks like."


If they balk, they'd have done it anyway, and if there's cooperation, guess who gets credit for making bipartisanship work?

Of course, it probably won't be over the things I think are most important, but undercutting the Republican lockstep voting bloc is important all on its own.

[whathehell]

55. Good point. n/t

[Drahthaardogs]

15. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

It is all very Code of Hammurabi-ish. Suck it up boys and girls! Obama tried to be a statesman and compromise, you guys wanted to play rough.

[Vinca]

16. The next election can't come soon enough.

[AC_Mem]

17. Would they have given a big fat stinky crap

If President Obama had asked them to stop their attacking during the past 2 years?

I don't think so.

Ignorant cry babies had NO idea how brutal politics could be - when the tables are turned on them.

GO DEMOCRATS, GOOOOO!!!!!

Take their whining and add it to the message you are delivering AND THAT WE HEAR.

We have been waiting for the Democrat Congressmen to frame their message, the silent majority gets it and are silent no more. Now is the time to get stronger and more on message, and activate the volunteers. There is no need for mercy when you are delivering the TRUTH.

Could this be the beginnings of the wave that will be 2012???

Great way to start my day :D

Annette

[jpak]

18. Cry babies

yup

[OKNancy]

19. They should be sending a letter to Boehner - he sucks

I shouldn't be giving these pipsqueaks advise, but their Speaker sucks. He is the one who got them in this position by calling for a vote on the Ryan plan. He didn't do any polling or read the mood of the nation. He thought 2010 meant more than it did.

[kick-ass-bob]

41. maybe he just doesn't want those people around anymore.

That would be a fucking riot :rofl:

'I'd rather work with Dems than these jokers' :D

[eridani]

89. He just wasn't paying attention to those town hall meetings in 2009--

--in which the teawhiners told them to keep the government out of their Medicare. The Repukes lied about HCR defunding Medicare, to their great electoral advantage. What in fucking HELL did they THINK was going to happen when they proposed actually eliminating it?

[deacon]

20. They want Obama to help them??? Ask Boehner. Sickos. n/t

[Jester Messiah]

21. They who are without mercy now plead for it?

I thought they were made of sterner stuff. (well... not really. But they sure as hell wouldn't give any quarter if roles were reversed.)

[ProfessionalLeftist]

22. False premise. Not you, them...

...Democrats did not send political operatives to town hall meetings. As hard as it is for Repigs to comprehend, most of the public ie: voters, do not like their assinine plan to destroy Medicare.

Blaming Democrats for causing this reveals the huge blind spot the Pigs have and that is that the public largely hates their Ayn Randian policies - and I suspect many of those members of the public are NOT Democrats.

EDIT: In other words, they brought this on themselves. Now, they're whining for Democrats to make it stop. :rofl:

[JDPriestly]

34. Right now, as soon as you approach the Medicare age,

you are barraged with ads for the various Medicare Advantage Plans. They are all very expensive. Most cost at least $200 - $300 per month. If you stop to think that Social Security on the average pays less than $1200 per month, then you realize that could easily be a fourth of a senior's monthly income in many cases.

And Republicans want to force very senior into a plan like that with no alternative. No way. We seniors would simply die if they did that to us. And most of us would die on the dole in smelly nursing homes at government expense.

The Republican plan would end up costing the government more than it would save.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

36. I like Sen. Barb Goodwin's plan...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=1085202&mesg_id=1085202

Test it on THEM first. Take away their publicly-funded health care and their publicly-funded retirement, and cut their pay in half. Make them rely on the same programs the rest of us do. (Social Security, Medicare)

Make THEM eat this Medicare dog food they want to foist on the elderly public - test it on them first.

Bet we'd see much more sane legislation coming out of these jackasses then.

24. They actually sent a letter to Pres Obama? How embarrassing...

[Generic Other]

25. 42 ke-bobs ready to throw on the BBQ

fat sizzling cuts of fresh meat ready to be chewed up by their constituents.

Obama supplies the condiments.

All ya can eat!

[Buns_of_Fire]

26. I love the smell of napalmed rebubbalickin congresscritters in the morning.

It's just a big ol' plus that they did it to themselves.

But, since the Democrats are the compassionate ones, I figure the least we should do is help stomp out the glowing embers of their hopefully-short-lived congressional careers.

In a minute or two. Gotta finish my coffee first.

[Javaman]

28. So let me guess, Obama will listen to them...

instead of increasing pressure.

[SDuderstadt]

29. I, personally, would...

INCREASE the pressure on the GOP.

Frankly, it's delicious when they hand us a club to beat the over the head with (figuratively speaking, of course).

Voters in 42 Congressional Districts better rethink the tea party next election. You reap what you sow.

40. I almost spit out my drink when I heard this last night. how incredibly pathetic and hysterically

funny (well, it would be if they weren't actually legislators) I thought for sure for one minute this was a skit from snl or something.

they have the NERVE to DEMAND "bipartisanship"??? let them choke on their stupidity and hatred.

87. What About Support For the Oil Subsidies?

I can't believe the Republicans can continue to support the big oil company subsidies and they are not worried about their political futures. Both anti-Medicare and oil subsidies are anti-American and the Congress critters need to pay if they sell out the taxpayers.

114. Crying

We have raised a generation of people who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. They blame others and want others to let them have their way. They are now of age and 42 of them are in Congress. They want their own way, to force their own ideas on people. They are selfish, narcissistic and people are of no concern to them. Money is all they are interested in and that they have plenty. They almost never face the consequences of their actions and when the do they want someone else to take the blame and get them out of trouble. We are seeing the consequences of our child rearing practices over the last 30 years and we elected them to Congress. Lets give some more kids gold stars in class so they won't get their feelings hurt instead of giving rewards for accomplishments.
