I'm sitting her pissed off, shocked and nearly in tears over what Harry Reid and the Blue Dog Demcrats are doing. I can't believe they are going to let the GOP kill healthcare reform AGAIN! I can't believe they are going to screw Obama and neuter his Presidency. I can't believe they are destroying the prospects for a progressive era in American politics. I'm just stunned. Not that Reid is a pussy or that the Blue Dogs are DINO corporate whores. I knew that, but I just didn't know how self destructive they were.
He's the deal. If the Democratic party can't deliver on it's most basic promises and the GOP in it's pathetic weakened state can hold so much sway, then there is no point in having a Democratic majority in the first place. So sense the Democratic Party likes lossing or at least expects to lose, let's show them what 2010 might look like over the August recess.
Tomorrow I am UNregistering as a member of the Democratic party. Calls, don't work, withholding campaign donations doesn't work so I say let's give them an idea of what a shrinking Democratic Party looks like. If these assholes can't back the President who's coattails they rode in on if, if they can't dance with the ones that brung 'em then they need to know that the party is over. I want every Blue Dog Democrat and Harry Reid to come back from their little vacations with a 15-20% drop in Democratic regisration in their districts and states. I want them to get thousands of calls from people saying that they have left the Democratic Party. I want them to walk into their townhalls meetings and have their bullshit excuses to be meet with constituents telling them that they have left the Democratic Party over healthcare. I want them to see the Democratic Party bleed blue voters until they pass reform. This should be simple enough for anyone to do. Hell, it can probably done online in most states. If you can't do it tomorrow like I am, make some time next week.
They need to know that if they let the enemies of reform kill healthcare reform AGAIN, that we will kill them at the ballot box. If they screw us, we will screw them harder. I know Rahm is supposed to be President Obama's henchman, but I'm in a kneecapping kinda mode myself. For those who disagree, I respect that and I won't argue with you. For those who do agree, please email this diary to every Democrat you know, every progessive organaization that you are a member of and post it at other blogs if you can. Also, call you local representatives and give them an earful after you unregister as a Democrat. I'm sure enough calls will have them calling their state party chairs and the DNC. I've had it with the Democratic Party and I'm tired of getting my heart broken by motherfuckers who don't deserve foR me to spit on them let alone get my vote. If you are with me spreed the word.
Thank you for listening to my rant even if you don't agree and FUCK YOU VERY MUCH HARRY REID AND THE BLUE DOGS.
