NO NO NO NO NO is the Strategy of the Republican Party. Say NO to everything and support Nothing. They want President Obama and the Democrats to Fail. And by hanging tough and not giving in to ANYTHING the country is Failing (according to the MSM and with that (by default) the Administration. The MSM makes the Democrats look bad, look inept and look like they are not in control..This is the GOP strategy of not having a better idea but opposing all ideas. And look at the latest poll numbers. According to the latest Approval rating, President Obama is down to 43%. a real bummer. The MSM is comparing him to BUSH. And with all the accomplishments in a year and a half. And the Shit sandwich that was left for him when he started. (Obama called it a Full Plate).
BUT, more importantly, what are WE doing to ourselves?
Look at this Diary from earlier today: http://www.dailykos.com/...
It is a diary of despair! It is a diary that hundreds of readers approved and recommended. The GOP Strategy is WORKING. It is dividing and Conquering OURSELVES. The Strategy (their opposition to the way things might have been) has made US turn against the Democratic Administration and the Democratic Congress!!
You may not support the war in Afghanistan, but we can take note that President Obama is in charge and we should have confidence that he WILL do the right thing. President Obama will do what he promised with the draw down of troops in Iraq and that will take place. Do you realize what the alternative could be? President Newt ready to declare war on Iran and North Korea? Shouldn't we care, even a little?
Granny Doc wrote from the earlier diary:
If the Democrats in Congress don't understand how to consolidate the majorities we gave them, and have no clue as to how to craft a message that lists their accomplishments, they deserve to crash and burn this November. And, I won't care.
They deserve to crash and burn?? The Democratic Congress passed the Stimulus Bill with outrageous opposition! They had to go around Filibusters and TOTAL LIES about Death Panels to pass sweeping new Health Insurance reform, maybe not what everyone wanted, but IT happened! http://www.healthcare.gov/ Wall Street reform passed! It was a serious struggle but the Democrats WON! The Senate Confirmed the first Latino woman to the Supreme Court, and the Senate will soon confirm another Presidential nominee. Many achievements forgotten by the Lies and Deceits by those out of power who want nothing more than to be in power!! And what is their reasoning- THIS IS SOCIALISM - Does that still scare people? Is Social Security and Medicare Socialism? It sure is and people love it!!
We hear an unending rant against budget deficits and the national debt. The country has not yet climbed out of the pit of economic disaster which we fell into thanks to the Republican economic policies. If we continue to spend money, counted in the billions, on the failed policies of Republican Macho Neo-cons, and can't structure a sane message that makes even the most simple minded Republican voter understand that the GOP got us into this mess and all of the lies they are choosing to believe will throw us right back into the depths, I remind you of that lovely old saw, "Let them reap what they sow". I just don't care.
I am sorry you do not care. That is why this election is SO important, to continue to make changes to correct the inequities of the past eight years and to right a ship that is leaning to far to the right. By not caring you have already given up. There are still several months before November. We have to make sure that the accomplishments are publicized. I am sure over the next few months the message WILL get out. BUT, now is not the time to give UP. Now is not to time to only go half-ass. WE CANNOT BE DIVIDED!!!! If we are, surely we WILL LOSE
