After suffering through the unbelievable humiliating debt debacle I finally thought I had seen and heard the last of our foolish behavior of giving into the Republicans yet again! But, no! This one takes the cake!
Tonight on NPR's "All Things Considered," Sen. Reid and Sen. McConnell revealed their upcoming strategy for picking the "super reps," who will make key decisions in regard to the new cuts coming from the bipartisan super committee.
On NPR, Minority Leader Senator McConnell revealed his strategy by promising to appoint, "strong anti-tax members," to the committee.
And our beloved leader Senator Reid? Well he wants members whose deficit ideas are "not set in stone," and went on to say the following," I want people on the panel with eyes wide open who will make difficult choices yet understand the political reality in the world we live in."
Listen for yourselves:
I couldn't believe my ears! Senator Reid is already throwing in the towel! Can Democrats with a backbone please stand up??? Or are their none left? It's times like these that I actually admire the Tea Party and Republican idiots. They at least stand up for what they believe and don't back down!
Really Sen. Reid? Why in the hell did I and so many others vote for Obama and the Democrats, if all we are going to get is capitulation to the right wing even before the committee has been picked!
It's time for all of us at Daily Kos and on the left to call Reid and tell him, "We want strong, Liberal Democrats who can stand up to these bullies and not cave in, like we have done already!"
We want real Democrats like New York Senator Shumer!!
