So Lieberman hates us, Obama ignores us, the rethugs want to shoot us and here we sit like ducks in a shooting gallery.
We act as if we are abandoned children. Which is damn foolish since nobody on the hill has any maternal tendencies, not even the women.
We are being shown forcefully out the door. We have no place at the table. And this surprises us? After it has happened over and over and over? We don't matter. We have no power (at least that is what they hope!) Lieberman is thinking of changing to republican. Surprise surprise.
Don't you get it? We have been had. There was a tremendous con going on and now the game is over, the chits are snatched from view. The culprits, however, are acting very strangely for cons. They think they can play the game over and over and over and we will still come and like puppies, lick their hands and ask for more.
And they will play us again because they can.
The next item on the agenda is Social Security. I heard McCaskill talking about it. She wants to set up a commission that will be able to do the deed and their hands will be clean.
But we should have seen it coming. Obama and crew have not deviated much from Bushco. I think closing Gitmo stung the Cheney's. And the stimulus bill, although much pared back from the bill it should have been and larded with much rethug sweetners such as tax cuts. It was that effort though, that heralded the fact that Obama is not seeing pols in the real but in some kind of sepia toned photo. All smiles and good will. But you and I see the truth. They are all corporatcrats.
So what to do? Support this effing bill? Trash it knowing LIEberman and rethugs are laughing at us? Enjoy the next drubbing?
Maybe we can find ways to fix our broken political system?
