121. Look, I like Jon, but I had to stop watching his opening monologue
 because the shit he would criticize Obama/Dems about, he had no clue about the fact that the Democrats NEVER enjoyed a majority. And when I hear people exclaim that they don't support the Dems anymore because they have a majority, it drives me up the ****ing wall! There never was a majority!!! Not with LIEberman. Not with the likes of Max Baucus or Ben Nelson. Not with the other Blue Dogs like Blanche Lincoln.

Jon should know better. I can't go down the long list of outrageous statements he would, sounding like he has little grasp of how legislation is passed.

Calling the leftists delusional is simply being nice.

122. Because the Democratic Party is different from the Republican Party.
 Because they don't compromise at all, the Democrats have to work together to reach some agreement. And that's primarily because we have many varied interests within the party.

People should stop claiming that we had the majority. We never did!!

It must be true- I read it on DU.

50. you really don't understand how this works, do you?
 You can gnash your teeth and hold your breath and still, no matter what you think, and in fact, no matter what the objective truth, there's a perception out there. That perception is what the president needs to overcome, and your admonishment of posters on DU won't do a single thing to change that perception. So go back to covering your ears and chanting "I'm right" over and over again, like you're effectively doing now, and see where that lands you.


Oddly, I was going to say just that very thing. (yup- moles)

Nope.  But Jesus didn't have to pay malpractice insurance either.

So then, because of McCainez, Grahmnesty, Specter, et al., Republicans never had a majority either!

The Deuce you say!

Nobody has ever had a majority!

For some reason, this DUmmie post reminds me of Captain Hindsight from last night's South Park.  Not sure why.  Just putting it out there.

If memory serves, Democrats controlled congress for most of the 20th century.

Did they ever get some porta potties from the Marines?  If not, it'll be a malodorous event, not only in spirit, but in the flesh. :bolt:

The forecast calls for  mostly depression with bouts of anger and hatred on the night of NOvember 2nd.  Followed by days of deeper depression, and denial with continued hate and anger through the weekend.
