The Dem Senate Sell-Outs in Congress only have three weeks to complete work on all the corporate capitulations needed to finish the Legacy of Capitulation to the Bushites that lobbyists desire on off-shore drilling and 'petroleum-free cars'. TPM is one of the best trial balloon sites on the web.
Who wants to bet the 'petroleum-free cars' means a sweet-heart compressed natural gas deal for Swiftboater T. Boone Pickens? Even Swiftboaters can bribe Democratic Senators it would seem.
Then, the BUSH DOGS and Vichy Dems can begin 'slow-stepping' progressive reforms and rake in lobbyist cash in the next Congress.
The trial balloon are up and the ads at the Democratic and Republican National conventions are underway.
There's going to be lots of Vichy Dem apologists making various 'Excuses... Not Change' posts in response to this post, telling us all YET AGAIN how this capitulation is really a 'compromise'.
Republicans don't practice bipartisan compromise they practice 'date rape' as they call it.
Frankly I don't want to go out on dates with Republicans in the final three weeks... I am already tired of being raped!
No spine Harry Reid should just go filibuster himself.
