Please tell me I'm wrong.

[WingDinger]

Obama will get just say no from Republicans forever. If Romney wins, Dems will cave like they always do, so, it is better to have Romney, and a somewhat functional Government instead of Stasis.

To Battle this, Obama must tell how he will get anything done if they continue their recalcitrance. Going over Congress's head on Immigration is a positive message against this thought.

[Honeycombe8]

1. Of course, Dems can gain seats in Congress. If we all show up and vote! nt

[WingDinger]

2. That is the message the Rethugs send their base.

We NEED executive AND legislative. Otherwise, no go.

[Egalitarian Thug]

27. And? We've been there, for two years, and he was so busy catering to people that hate him

that what little was done serves more to legitimize the republican agenda than to inspire people that don't hate him. And what about the two years prior to his election?

Do you really believe that Americans prefer crazy?

[roody]

3. You are wrong. n/t

[CJCRANE]

4. Um, no.

This so-called "stasis" is still better than what Bushco left us with. Plus why reward the people who caused the crash and the "stasis"?

[MineralMan]

5. You're wrong.

We can solve the problem by all working our asses off to elect Democrats to legislative office, both in federal and state legislatures. If we do that, your point is pointless.

That's my plan. What's yours?

[WingDinger]

6. Plan is, to work my butt off. But are others thinking this?

[CJCRANE]

9. Only people who believe RW talking points

would think that.

[MineralMan]

15. Well, all the folks I know through the Minnesota DFL are

fired up to GOTV, so I guess there are others who think so, too.

We've got Minnesota. How's your state?

[WingDinger]

21. That is one problem. Calif, is Dem, so, it is of limited value to GOTV. Unless you call other states

[Herlong]

7. I'm telling you you are wrong.

Voters have the last say. The battle is not about twittiling your thumbs about who will win. The battle is about getting to every last voter. And after the battle is won, then you can twittle your thumbs. Bottom line, stop twittling your thumbs and get to work!

[WingDinger]

8. Yup, also though, I worry about the capital strike. If multinationals dig in further.

Wrote an article about it some time ago. That too is in peoples minds.

[CJCRANE]

10. So you would capitulate to the people

you believe are holding you to ransom?

[WingDinger]

11. No, but to not seem ineffectual, Obama must tell how he will override them all.

Or, the American People are outraged by the lack of ANY honeymoon period, and lash out.

[Herlong]

12. I said voters

That means we are working within a democracy. No notion of capital strike or ransom here. And Obama lashing out? Whaaaa?

[WingDinger]

14. No, the people put pressure on the recalcitrant as they are outraged that the UNAMERICANS are diggin

To force the multinationals, if that is possible, to capitulate. That same pressure could apply to Rethugs that dig in. The people would force them to work together.

I am talking about a meme that works for the unamericans. To make voters throw up their hands.

[CJCRANE]

16. I don't think people in general

have any notion of a "capital strike". I also think that the lack of investment by many corporations is more due to a lack of demand caused by austerity policies around the world. People worldwide are waking up and realizing that these austerity policies don't work and that demand-side growth policies are needed.

[WingDinger]

18. They see the three trillion dollars horded by big business. They see that Wall Street has stopped fu

funding Obama's campaign. This is noticed. I am not a concern troll, but this must be fought, as a concept. I have worried about this for months. As I stated in my article, the Rethugs will actively use these concepts towards the end. To frighten voters.

[Herlong]

22. Voters disfranchisement is a generational problem

and if you want to look at recent problems you only have to look as far as Florida and Rick Scott. Keep trying to blame Obama on Democratic Underground.

[WingDinger]

23. Not sure how disenfr. applies. Unless you mean the people being dissillusioned, demoralized

and stay home. What I am talking about is the Rethugs are selling inevitability. Austerity, Dems being ALWAYS bad for business etc. That the powers that be choose Rethugs to work with. And how to combat that theme.


We know that Rethugs are wannabe Nazi's. But the inevitable meme is what I am talking about.

[marmar]

13. Their "somewhat functional" government would be Stasi-esque.

nt

[femmocrat]

17. Under no circumstances would it be "better to have Romney"!

Even if ... and it is still a big IF.... Obama gets stuck with a repuke Congress, he can still accomplish many changes and initiatives on his own. Today's announcement on immigration is a great example.

Having Romney and Congress rubber-stamp each others' insane reactionary agendas would be the end of any progress that Obama has eked out over the past 3 years.

YOU ARE WRONG. (And advocating such heresy could get you TS'd if you're not careful! )

[WingDinger]

19. I am not proposing my vote for Romney, but voters thinking this.

[longship]

24. You are wrong! Very wrong!

Enough doom and gloom around here.

[WingDinger]

25. Hard subjects avoided, gets us doom and gloom, and cluelessness.

[rucky]

26. You're wrong. Probably not, but you said please.
