Today Tom Daschle prooves once again why the Democratic party is the weakest party!! According to Huff Post's Sam Stein, Dashle publicly urged the whitehouse to drop the public option and said there is no way any healthcare reform could pass with it in. The guy is a schill for corporate lobbyists, and an embarrasment to our party!!
This is 24 hours after a poll comes out saying that 76% of peopole favor the public option.
Lets not take that and use it for a couple of days in talking points on Tv. Noooo lets just run like scared rabbits as the wolf Republicans continue to get whatever they want.
I'll tell you one thing!!! I have to give it to the Republicans. I despise them on every level, and every single issue, but the one thing I admire about them is that they never give an inch!!! They never bargain, and they never cave in. NEVER!! They are just nuts and they just dont give a shit what people think. They never negotiate at all. Just say no, and it works for them because we dont have a strong voice or people to hammer them on TV in a powerful way! We have no leader to combat them except Obama, and he shouldnt have to do all the heavy lifting for Gds sake. Where is Claire McCaskill, or Hillary, or Ed Rendell? Where are our anaylists to tell how good our side is. It is always on the defense with us!! I'm so sick of it!!
The Republicans also stay strong and always stick to the talking points that are laid out for them for the day no matter how wrong or even how stupid they are. They are robots and stick to the plan. They also have the conservitive radio to spew hate and lies all day, and the media just takes those points and puts our guys on the defennsive all day on every issue. I mean Rush, Hannity, and that guy Mark Levin are relentless.
Instead of getting out in front of healthcare a month ago and having out best talkers on the air every where every day, we stay silent and let them use Frank Luntzes points to cloud the issue and make us answer all of the lies. The only guy who fights with any passion on our side is Ed Schultz! The guy is an animal and an american hero as far as I am concerned.
If we would stick together and stay the course, we could push this thing through! If we just go to the people and explain it in an hoonest way, wecan win this even though it is expensive!!! But we wont, we will cave and there will be no real reform.
I wish Harold Dean was our spokesman. he is the best voice of the party! Strong and forceful. he never stutters, and knows the issues better then anyone.
I hope we get something through. I hope he uses the hour on ABC to steer the conversation.
I still think he should have been on the road in everyone of the Conservitive Democrats states holding town halls telling the people to contact their senators and tellling them what they want.
I am furious with my weak ass party.
Like Bill Maher said. If we cant get what we want and need now, we are done.
Can you imagine if the economy doesnt rebound too fast and we lose a bunch of seats to the nutty right wing Conservitives that the republicans will put up for election.
Its scary! Thats why we have to get everyone we know to call and fight as hard as possible.
Remember that when Medicare passed years ago, it only passed by one vote, and now you wont find one Republican to try to take it away or risk political suicide!
