Except it would have showed that Dem’s are at least willing to fight with what they can. You know the same willingness to fight impossible battles to the best of their abilities that eventually got the Republicans control of the entire government.

So more of the “who else you going to vote for? “ platform. How’s that been going?

Nobody is saying he can refuse to spend the money. But the bureaucracy takes time, you know, and if the guy at the top decides things are going to take a little more time, then.....well, what are you going to do?

“Sure, the money will get there eventually. But I just signed an executive order saying that all military contracts for four sided widgets has to go through a new process to make sure that the corners are sharp, but not TOO sharp. What’s that? A factory in Kentucky is the only factory in the country that makes these…

That this is exactly how the Republicans act is why they run everything.

The President has a lot of say in his Federal money, once approved by Congress, gets apportioned to the states and how quickly. He could easily have taken McConnell aside and told him that all of those federal dollars that he campaigns on being able to bring home to his constituents is about to dry up in a hurry. But…

Because it is what they’ve done since Reagan beat Carter in 1980. They’ve been trying frantically to be the Lesser of Two Evils party for so long, they don't know how to be anything else.

“Say ‘he’s a good man’ again. Say ‘he’s a good man’ again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say ‘he’s a good man’ one more Goddamn time!!”

First, the Democrats never had a super-majority. They had a 60 vote majority (counting two independents that caucused with the Dems) votes until Kennedy died and was replaced by Scott Brown.

Pro-Israel isn’t pro-Jewish. A lot of these people want Israel around because one of the pre-conditions to Jesus’s return is that Israel gets fucked right up by...well, whoever. The Bible isn’t that specific. It is specific that Israel is God’s ultimate chew toy, and they need to be around to satisfy that. Hell, the…

And if the Democrats build a majority, I look forward to these same arguments being used so that they can KEEP a majority.

Nope. Huh-uh. No. Stop. No more. That wasn’t what you were looking for.

I’m choosing to think your reply was ALSO a joke. I really hope it was.

And he was running against the latest offering of a politician machine that the factory workers thought shouldered a large portion of the blame for their situation.

Congratulations, Phil Not Phil. This is the sort of response you get when a Clinton dead-ender knows you’re right but has to reply anyway.

Ok.

Sure.  Exactly what I meant.  Congratulations, you cracked the code.

Back, and to the left. Back, and to the left.

She didn’t have any policies at all.  She had vague platitudes that polled well.

That’s happening, one or the other. Principle is all we got left. If there had been a Democrat or two willing to stand on principle when it could have done some good, we wouldn’t be here now.
