And we will lean on our Dems when they act like Republicans. Its not going to be easy to make them pass healthcare reform, or to raise taxes on the rich, or to bring troops home or to go green.
Corporate America/lobbyists still run the show and the Supreme Court still tilts in their favor.
And they have the corporate/mainstream media working for them.
Not to mention the house slaves on USMB. Gunny, Del, Skull, Allie, Willow, you guys out there?
Well, every Democrat in Congress and the Senate has to face primaries in two to six years. Bad votes now should mean a real Democrat replacing the present Representative or Senator on the ticket.
Sort of...except we have Democrats in places like West Virginia where either we get a conservative-ish democrat, or no democrat at all.
Exactly. But I think/hope the people in those states want things like healthcare reform too.
And no matter what, the right is going to work hard to smear them, so fuck it. But I understand that the healthcare lobbyists are really leaning on the blue dogs. They're threatening to put all their money on their opponents if they don't play ball.
You know what? That's just bullshit. Excuses, excuses. We need to lean HARD on these blue dogs like Max Baucus. None of them will win if they can't get er done.
