Why Do Our Dem Reps Sabotage Their Majority?
I'm reminded of 1993-94, when the Dems held the Congress and Clinton was in office.

They jumped the aisle and joined in the Pukes' attacks on Clinton.

1994, Newt Gingrich, the Contract On America, majority gone, gateway to George W. Bush.

History tends to repeat itself.

Are you listening, Evan Bayh?

3. He makes me SO angry! Failed presidential candidate ...
Sour grapes ... I swear, he's got his own agenda if he's
so willing to come out publicly against such a keystone of
Obama's campaign. He and others of his ilk are just pissed
that the era of the DLC seems to be winding down (hey, even
Hillary's a part of the administration), but they will not
go quietly.

Any bets on whether Joementum is part of this new club?

4. Because God forbid we should actually
have a progressive agenda. We need these 'moderates' to step in and save us from ourselves. :sarcasm:

5. Because the real majority are those with the money...
Our Presidents, Senators, and congress ONLY work for the wealthy.

Witness the fact that our government repealed all laws that would have protected our
financial system. They have stolen $trillions from us because they make and enforce the laws.

How convenient....

And Americans can't be bothered by anything.

6. because they can?
I guess it's what happens when the many cede all their power to the few. Most of 'we the people' can't even bother making a phone call. Now that's job security.
