Reading the Washington Post
Only 40% have confidence in the administration.
Just over a third has any confidence in government whatsoever.
26% says they will vote for their representative
56% prefer the GOP so as to balance the 'extremism' of the Obama administration.
Ye gods Americans can be fucking stupid at times.
The Republicans by seriously fucking up the process risk winning in November.
What a strategy, put a stick in the spokes to win!
Ya baby we rock, and to think many will take this as the way to run the opposition next time around.
The Dem's have failed to convince, or even fight for what they believe in, and the Republicans cheer governments failure.
So now many are going to vote for the spoilers this time around.
So negativity is the way forward, lets vote for those who will put this masochistic policy in place.
All because of a filibuster and 60 senators equaling a bare majority
Unfucking believable.
[did I mention this was going to be a rant?]
Personally I believe this is because we have conceded so much ground that the legislation has become watered down, hence poorer, rather than the extreme nature of the legislation itself.
We have failed to stand up for what we believe in, and yes we have failed to convince. Our leaders have been mealy mouthed in the face of the republican do nothing onslaught.
We have allowed their lies to stand all but unchallenged.
Some will say doing business quietly in the background is the adult way to go.
I would agree but:
Are you giving the average voter to much credit with respect to maturity?
You only have to look at what we usually do, scream and howl [yep, me included]
Rather than aggressively pushing for our policies and forcefully putting them forward we have asked the Republicans what they think and would they like to add anything.
Yikes
Their spoiled brat reply has always been the same:
They have defined the agenda by their unwillingness to participate.
Now many are considering voting for them.
Jesus we suffer from short term memory loss.
There is still time an full out attack is the only way, and this attack needs to be started from the White House.
Take the fucking gloves off and get seriously nasty when talking about Republican obstruction.
They have given us all the weapons we need, now use them.
