The Democratic Leadership in Congress is a bunch of spineless wimps, and must be replaced en masse with people like Bernie Sanders, Al Franken, Anthony Weiner and Alan Grayson. Join me over the jump to read what a pissed-off Senate staffer has to say about them. He's only saying what many of us already knew.
Josh Marshall has just published in its entirety an e-mail he received from a fed-up Senate staffer.
It reinforces all of my worst fears about the attitude of the Democratic leadership in Congress, and explains better than anything I've read why all the legislation coming out of Congress since the 2008 election has been a worthless pile of crap.
Here's Josh's introduction:
I want to recommend that everyone read the email we just got from a Senate staffer who will have to remain anonymous. Here's one part of the email that stood out to me. The whole thing is after the jump ...
The worst is that I can't help but feel like the main emotion people in the caucus are feeling is relief at this turn of events. Now they have a ready excuse for not getting anything done. While I always thought we had the better ideas but the weaker messaging, it feels like somewhere along the line Members internalized a belief that we actually have weaker ideas. They're afraid to actually implement them and face the judgement of the voters. That's the scariest dynamic and what makes me think this will all come crashing down around us in November.
Read the rest here.
It disgusts me. It's long past time for us to enforce the "better" part of "more and better Democrats." If we don't, the next time they take the White House the Republicans will destroy this country for good.
