Three things need to happen
1. POTUS must ask for a Democratic House to get things done and end gridlock. HE has to do it. Not his surrogates or friendly media.
Him.
2. Reid has to get rid of the filibuster. All of it. Talk of one day we will be in the minority is a canard. The GOP will do damn well whatever they please no matter what their majority is because democrats do not obstruct, and more improtantly, the GOP will get rid of the filibuster in a heartbeat if they have the chance. We do not have a parliamentary system. Majority rules. Period.
3. If we get the House, pass all progressive legislation right away. No waiting. All the biggies, Everything within a few months: immigration reform, election reform, finance reform, tax increases for the 1% and loopholes closed. And then let it unfold. People will like what they see, and the majorities will stay majorities for a long time.
The above does not require courage. It is simple common sense made glaringly apparent after even a cursory look at the political landscape.

bolding mine
:lmao:
Sure musiclawyer sure.....
There is no way they will get the house this time around will weaken in the Senate by another chair or two.
By the way it is becoming more and more clear that Romney will win the election easily so you can forget about #1.

Did 2010 not happen in their world?

There is a rumor afloat that the sexually confused half-white muslim and his fashion-challenged beard have purchased an estate in Hawaii in anticipation of their eminent retirement.

Immigration reform - The only reason you support this is that you think Hispanics will vote for your entitlement programs forever. That the mexicans that come over here are the ones that will get off their ass and work and want to provide for their families ought to give you a warning. You tell them we are racist. The problem is as they have more contact with us, they see who the racists are.
Election reform - I guess your bitching about the states actually tightening up regulations to make sure that only people who should be voting are voting. That isn't even going to fly among your fellow democrats.
Finance reform - I guess you really don't like unions being able to spend unlimited amounts of money on democrats.
Tax Increases - To pay for what? More of your endless mooching and grifting. I'll actually support a tax increase, as long as everybody has to pay in. No more 47% or any % not paying insome tax.
Loopholes closed - Home mortage is a loophole in your world. So is a child tax credit. Charity is a loophole according to you DUmmies.
Even when you had everything you wanted, you couldn't get your dream package passed by democrats. Why do you think it would be any different the second go around?

I SO missed your rapier wit for a while there.

Three things need to happen
1. I need to shut up while I'm ahead.
2. All liberals need to shut up while we're ahead.
3. We keep talking making it where even if we win we're never ahead.

What's this THEY'VE PURCHASED shit, kemosabe? The asking price on that little shack on the beach was $35 million. The net worth of the Holy WON of Chicago is only $10.6 million. I got news for you; either Teh ReichsMessiah is using the campaign money as a golden parachute, or YOU AND I bought that cozy little love nest for the First Yeti and her bitch.

Everybody, dug it the most, in 2010.
Remember?

6. Unfortunately, Obama is not very liberal
he'll continue chasing pot smokers, dispatching drones, detaining people indefinitely, and dismantling public education. But if he can kill CU and get the jobs rolling again with some infrastructure projects, it might provide us with some momentum for real escape from Free Market Hell
Righto, doc. The lad is a full-blown socialist, hell-bent on turning the USA into a Yeropean paradise. :bird:

Obama had the majority the 1st 2 years he was in office, why didn't he do all that crap then?

Not only did he have a majority, it was unstoppable by fillibuster.

"Free market hell." ::) I happen to adore the free market. Move to NORK, Dr__J.
Talk of one day we will be in the minority is a canard.

Ignorance, arrogance, and sheer laziness in one handy package.
