Michael Moore Mocks "Whiney" Democrats (and I don't blame him)

[Triana]

I am also SICK of some of the timid little pantywaist ninnies we have up there! ARE YOU LISTENING HARRY REID?!

MM says:

"I can't stand listening to whiny Democrats say, 'we shouldn't even do it because it won't pass anyways.' That's not how the Republicans think. You know, you've got to admire Republicans. They have the courage of their convictions. They put it right out there. When they want to do something, they do it. They don't go, 'oh, I don't know. I don't know if we should invade Iraq. People might not like that.' They don't care. They just do it. What is wrong with our side of the aisle? Where is the spine, where is the courage? 'They might filibuster.' Really? Let them filibuster. I'd like to see that."

Panel votes to restore abstinence education money

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- A Senate committee voted Tuesday night to restore $50 million a year in federal funding for abstinence-only education that President Barack Obama has pushed to eliminate.

The 12-11 vote by the Senate Finance Committee came over objections from its chairman, Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana.

Two Democrats - Kent Conrad of North Dakota and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas - joined all 10 committee Republicans in voting "yes" on the measure by Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah.

4. That's b/c the Right isn't the phony "oppositional" party. Hence no need for feigning and acting

[timeforpeace]

5. That's rich for the guy who got rich being whiney.

[ipaint]

10. Yes, I heard that is what moore says before starting every movie

"I can't make this, the corporations will never let me" Whaaaaa....

:sarcasm: :eyes:

[tkmorris]

14. Moore doesn't whine, he goes out and gets in their face

Of course here on DU we have several posters who don't even bother whining, opting instead to hurl snark from the balcony.

[reggie the dog]

17. whiney???

His movies have all had social causes. Even Canadian Bacon had social issues in it. I suppose you think the people who signed the declaration of independence were whiney too

[redqueen]

8. HAH!

I was just admiring his non-whiny approach to the same complaints the whiners here have.

Good on ya, Michael! :toast:

[Triana]

9. Well now he's whining about the whiners....

...and I just want to bash their vacuum-packed, greed-driven (not to mention misogynist) heads together.

[redqueen]

11. I didn't read his comment as whining...

and where's the misogynist?

[Triana]

12. Oh. See Post #3 n/t

[redqueen]

15. Ah yes... our pro-life fundy nutcase Dem, Mr. Conrad.

Among other jackasses on the Finance Committee. I wish I could say I was surprised.

When I read your post there, I thought you meant Michael. Oops! :P

[reggie the dog]

16. Just today I was talking to my university students about

how the UMP in France had party discipline like the Republicans do. I talked about the 11th amendment and we wondered why the left in the USA and France hedges and is divided. I don't know about you folks but I never got ahead in life hedging my bets. I got ahead by going for it. Yes I failed some of the time but damn it I have succeeded too. FUCKING GO FOR IT DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW IS THE TIME!!! Feel the Adrenalin, feel the force whatever you call it and fucking do it, follow through.....spineless empty suits on the left, same goes for the french socialist party. DO ALL THE PEOPLE WITH SOME FIGHT IN THEM GO TO THE RIGHT??? NON!!!!! Fucking sellouts are what the Democrats are.

[Triana]

18. DAMN RIGHT! They need to toughen up and GET IT DONE.

There has NEVER been a better time in our history to get health care DONE.

And they're BLOWING IT!!!

Arrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh!
