White House's Melody Barnes To Progressives: Don't Jump Off The Bridge!
   
"You know that scene in "It's A Wonderful Life" where George Bailey is standing on the bridge ready to end it all? That's where White House Director of Domestic Policy Council Melody Barnes sees liberals now, as they await the GOP takeover of the House. In her metaphor, Barnes is a guardian angel of sorts, trying her best Thursday night to pull progressives back from the brink.

Speaking at the American Constitution Society's holiday party at the Center for American Progress last night, Barnes drew parallels between the famous Christmas-themed movie (one of her favorite films) and the situation liberals find themselves in post-election 2010.

Yeah, it's bad, Barnes acknowledged. But, she implored, think of how much worse it would have been if Democrats hadn't been in power at all.

For liberals, Barnes told the audience at the progressive legal organization's event, 2010 has been "a year of great accomplishment, but it has also been a very tough year."

The white house still really doesn't get it. This is a pretty depressing article. You know when you hear them making the whole "at least we arent republicans" argument, that we are in a real shit situation.

2. On a positive note.
   
If you are thinking about jumping off the bridge, then it is still there  .

Would be pretty silly to jump off a bridge you fight for for so long, heh.

Make sure to tie a rope around your neck and to the bridge when you jump.

3. When the RW is mad they worry about them bringing guns. When we are mad they worry about jumping off
   
bridges? WTF?
I want them to be scared of US.

I want to see primary challenges for every DLC 'moderate' elected official of the so called DEMOCRATIC party.

I didn't see any guns at the polling booths. Did anyone else?

7. liberals aren't on the brink -- they are pricing pitchforks and tar buckets
   
The attitude of some of these folks in this administration is disgusting.

More likely pricing a replacement keyboard from banging those keys all day at DU.

9. It's warm and cozy in your office, and convenient to believe in angels.
   
But we need your boss to talk us off the bridge.

Look down. He's down there with the big sign saying "JUMP".

12. Not contemplating jumping off
   
anything. They are the ones need to worry if we don't come out to vote, it's their jobs on the line.
No, the WH really doesn't get it.

Oh Please.  You DUmmies will be rallying around the Won in a few short months.  That's when you'll be able to blame his failures on the Tea Partiers in the House.

Scared? Of you?

Take a number, line up on the railing, and jump.

Think of how much better it will be when all the Democrats follow their "progressive" base off the bridge!

The White House will never get it.  Even with those DUmbo sized ears, Lord Zero is still deaf.  
You know when you hear the "at least we aren't Republicans" argument, DUmmies are in DEEP SHIT!   :rotf:

JUMP OFF THE DAMN BRIDGE!

Since they're already out on the bridge, can we give them a little nudge?
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

My husband did.  He had it concealed at the polling booth in the mall.  Double oh noes!  lol

Anyway, if I walk past a bridge and a DUmmy is standing there, I'd give them a little push.

Hey DUchebags!!!

I've got some razor blades and can point you to the nearest, busiest freeway.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
