21. I just don't get it.
I suppose the Democrats are too timid to confront the Republicans in a game of hardball (forgive the analogy for this is not a game)because they want to win with better ideas or what have you. However, it's not like they would have to smear Republicans with dirty tricks. The truth would do. The Republicans killed the middle class in this country. We have to make that clear in no uncertain terms and in the simplest language that everyone understands. They MUST own this.

I still haven't given up hope. Obama isn't afraid to bare his teeth, albeit politely, and I can't believe that he is naive and unable to recognize what he's up against. The stakes are too damn high and he is too intelligent not to know.

There are certain members of both the Senate and the House who need to be retired. That much is clear and it is up to the constituents in their respective states and districts to make this become a reality. There really is a lot of work to do and it is up to us. I live in California. Becerra is my Congressman and I don't have any complaints. However, Feinstein needs to go. Anyone interested in stirring up the shit?
