Warning: Repeat of 2010 on the horizon
Unemployment is above 9% and will still be above 8% at least (economists are predicing 8.5% for 2012) come November 2012. Dems have the presidency and senate and will probably get more blame than the republicans will. Dems either need to go all out and do what needs to be done (or be replaced in primaries with dems who will), or at least show they're trying, or there's going to be a repeat of 2010. Ignore or berate all you want, but that's a recipe for 2012 failure.
PS. I was among those predicting the 2010 shellacking. There's just nothing you can say to people to make a horrible situation okay. Action, not words is what's required. Ignore at your peril.
Francynumbers lectures.

1. Dems should start laying the blame at the feet of the GOP.
They are the ones that control the House and half of the Senate.
Not quite.

3. I agree they need to fight for control of the message.
Yes, that is exactly what libs want.
This was a cute exchange.

22. I don't believe you predicted anything in 2010...
You sound like just another Monday morning quarterback to me.

29. We need a movement like the tea party within the dem party
I think a good enough web based strategy could make it possible for people to win dem primaries without having support from wealthy donors.
You idiots tried that twice already, Francynumbers.
How'd that work out for you. :lmao:

The problem with that is, you have to dole out freebies and bus people in for that kind of thing. You can't get the kind of grassroots support the Tea Party has. Hell when you guys gather, you can't even clean up your own damn trash, much less get many people to put down the bong and sign off DU long enough to go do something.

I liked this thread where they are trying to predict the next GOP candidate, which apparently is a ham sandwich. "If the economy continues deteriorating for the next year, a ham sandwich will be able to beat Obama"

They are pretty apoplectic today. Fun stuff.

Well, if everybody got a ham sandwich, that'd be more than what the Big Zero's given us.
