#05 TOP PRIMITIVE OF 2009; THE SPARKLING HUSBAND PRIMITIVE
Original message
When the most dimwitted national leader in history was in power, he got every damn thing he wanted.
I'm talking about George W. Bush.
The balance in Congress didn't actually matter. He got whatever the **** he wanted.
You want War? Yes Sir. Here's your war. You want a second one? NOOOOOO problemo.
Tax Cuts? Here ya go, Cowboy.
Corporate welfare? Notta problem.
Looser oil drilling regs? Happy ta he'p ya!
Fer Krissakes, they looked like the ****ing We Love George glee club. He asked. They gave. You remember this kumbaya moment on 9/12?
But now?
We control it all and we can't pass a ****ing unemployment benefit package in a ****ing election year? All we get is some shit healthcare bill that actually cares only about the health of Big Bidniss.
Are you ****ING kidding me?
Are you ****ING serious?
Yeah, I know. I have heard it all. Blue Dogs. Big Tent. Herding Cats. Yadda, ****ing Yadda.
These people are as effective as a fart in a windstorm.
Ooops.
When I saw the sparkling husband primitive's headline, I thought he was referring to Bo.
Sorry.

2. absolutely
of course, our strategy of negotiating before the negotiations begin hardly breeds success.

4. It's all just a show.
The real decisions are not made in Congress or in the Executive Branch.
That America hasn't existed for a long time. As soon as they are done killing the middle class, we'll see the real authority on the streets, kicking down our doors, arresting anyone who dissents in an unapproved manner.

5. When bu$h was in power, he gave the corporations everything they wanted
He and the republicans worked to give corporate America deregulation and other goodies while Obama and the Democrats (most of them anyway) are working for the people. They can't get anything done because the lobbying keeps by the corporations keeps it from passing.

6. But "Obama and the Democrats" have the majority control of two of the three branches of government.
How does that square with your assertion that the problem is rich lobbyists? Surely lobbying the minority doesn't pay such dividends, does it?

8. Blue Dog Dems vote with republicans.
That's why Bush got his way, and that's why whatever progress we make is going to be excruciatingly slow.
on edit: and he got his way with the USA Patriot Act and the wars because a lot of even non-Blue Dog Dems aren't very liberal to begin with.

14. Yes, it is interesting how little the Dems capitalize on...given the weatlth of Republican shittasticness from which they could be making hay.

9. If it keep Congress from passing legislation not friendly to business
It pays off for the corporation. Obstruction is to the corporate lobby is better than laws passed they don't want.

12. Sucks to be us.
It's infuriating.

Why does it never occur to them that they fight a battle pushing a socialist agenda because the public doesn`t want it and will vote out people that do?
I know...rhetorical question.

For years we have been tryin' to get that thru their thick skulls.
I think the problem is, there's nothing but shit and air space between their ears!

AR, their skulls are thick because there's nothing in them. Not even air. It's a vacuum. If the skull weren't thick, it would collapse with a pop.

Agreed.
And as long as they keep selfishly lying to themselves like this, ...
liberal N proud
... Obama and the Democrats (most of them anyway) are working for the people.
... then they will continue to wander in circles.

Welcome back Sir!

When the even more dimwitted took control in the coup of 2006, after six years of lies, smears, and outright demagoguery, they set about doing just what exactly? Anyone?? :popcorn:
