In 2010, the only people serious about implementing the GOP agenda is the Democratic party.
Oh, you don't like Reaganomics? Well F$$$ you, hippie!
Because there are only two diners in America, and the only thing they serve is f$$k you, hippie.
Your choice is extending the Bush Tax Cuts versus extending the Bush Tax Cuts.
Your choice is Bush gets away with lying/torturing us into Iraq versus Bush gets away with it.
Your choice is to continue Mountain Top Removal mining or to really continue Mountain Top Removal Mining
And so on, and so on
America has a political choice. One party is center right. The other is raving insane. One party tells hippies they are unrealistic, the other party calls hippies nazi socialists. One party blames the left for everything that is wrong with America, the other party blames the left for everything that is wrong within their own party. This is not choice. If I am to the left of the Democratic party I am not the professional left, I'm the disenfranchised left, because the choice for me is Reaganomics versus Reaganomics PLUS Sarah Palin. Some choice. No wonder people like me are unenthusiastic.
More below the fold

The Democratic Party is officially the Blue Dog party. And it has been the Blue Dog party that will help pass the Bush agenda for a long time.
Democrats are indeed the new Republicans. Bill Maher and Cenk Uygar were 100% right on this one.
Your choice is extending the Bush Tax Cuts versus extending the Bush Tax Cuts.
Sure doesn't sound as catchy as hope or change.
Bush can torture people, lie us into war, fucking wreck the place. Obama will not investigate or prosecute shit, because we need Republicans to actually use power since the Blue Dog alternative only exists to make it seem like you have a choice every election. Like it or not, one way or another, you are getting Reaganomics. And you'll like it.
Oh, you don't like Reagaonimcs? Well F$$$ you, hippie!
Democrats are a moderate conservative party. They aren't spineless, they are heartless, and the only real difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Republicans have a better imagination for cruelty. A Republican will TORTURE YOU and LIE YOU into war. A Democrat will help pass it and look sheepishly at you when the bill comes and the bodies come home. No one will hold the guy who lied you into war responsible, but SO HELP ME GOD IF ONE OF YOU GETS BLOWN BY AN INTERN!!!
well, you know . . .
When the President criticizes his supporters he loses them. Does he criticize Ben Nelson or Joe Lieberman? Hell, Lieberman campaigned for McCain! No, no way Obama could get mad at Lieberman, without his vote how could Obama possibly pass the Blue Dog bipartisan shock doctrine agenda he calls a reasonable compromise.
I watched Blue Dogs get their asses kicked in the election, and they took down our whole tent doing it. Pelosi ALLOWED them to do it, basically saying "pretend to be a liberal hating Republican if you have to in order to win." Did anybody at the top of the Democratic Establishment get mad? NOPE. Did it damage the Obama Presidency, the Democratic Party and America's recovery? YUP. Does this bother the Democratic Establishment? NOPE, Wanna know why?
Because Democrats solely exist as a default choice of a watered down version of the only real possible political agenda in America, and that is Reaganomics, Milton Friedman style unfettered free trade and a Grover Norquist drown it in a bathtub mentality towards the representation of the American proletariat against it's would be corporate feudal masters.
Your choice this next election.
F$$k you, Hippie!
versus
F$$ you, you socialist nazi hippie!
Bottom line: Democrats are the New Republicans.
And at this point, both parties can kiss my hippie ass
