Charlie Brown never learns that Lucy will always pull the football away. Democratic supporters should be smarter than that.
(This is a series of tweets I posted in the wake of the Senate's decision to endorse the Keystone XL pipeline.)
Charlie Brown never learns that Lucy will always pull the ball away. Democratic voters should be smarter than that.
The Democrats talk a great progressive game. But where is the legislative follow-through? It never comes!
Seriously, Democrats of today are more conservative than Republicans 30 years ago. How much more proof do we need?
The Choice is no longer between Republicans and Democrats. It's time to move beyond the left-right spectrum that is used to divide us and weaken our ability to change the system.
Democratic Senators voting to line the pockets of Big Oil should be the last wake-up call we need.
Yes, loyal Democrats, this vote by your party for the Keystone Pipeline should get your attention in a major way.
I admit I've been wrong about one thing. It's not the 2-party system we need to change. Because we really only have one party, funded by big corporations.
If you're looking for a party that supports gun control and the environment, the Democrats are not your party.
Starting in 2006, Democrats forgot that winning elections isn't everything. You have to win with people that support your agenda.
A healthy percentage of Democrats elected since 2006 would have been Republicans in past decades.
We might think Karl Rove is an idiot, but he and his friends have shifted American politics several notches to right, even with a Democrat in the White House.
Health care reform is the big "liberal" victory of the decade. But it was a plan devised by Republicans to counter what Democrats really wanted.
And now the Republicans are attacking as "socialism" the plan they invented to further drive the nation to the right. Who's winning?
Before we turn around, we'll have Medicare and Social Security - two shining Democratic successes - gutted on a Democrat's watch.
And let's not even go into climate change - which Democrats talk about but never do anything about. Where's the Green Party sign-up sheet?
