Why would Obama think that any sane person would negotiate with Republicans?
I may as well be asking why anyone would get in a bed filled with snakes.

Is there any Democratic principal that Obama won’t give away? He’s in the process of selling the soul of the Democratic Party -- Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, etc.

But these days, the issue always comes down to: “Who would you rather see in the White House? Obama, or Bachmann?”

Someone really needs to explain the difference to me. Bachmann is mentally deranged. And Obama is just the latest political hack to sell us out. Does it really matter who shoves that knife in your back?

So, fire away, DUers who still defend Obama. I have no idea what it is you’re defending. Maybe you can share it with those of us who have given up on him.

Many people believe that if we “primary” him, we’re finished. I believe we’re finished if we don’t. (And please don’t throw polls at me. The election is a year and four months away.)

But please, please, address how you feel about being sold out on Social Security and Medicare. Those programs are at the heart of what we're suppossed to be about.

1. Because they see themselves as playing for the same team?

5. You mean..The United States of America team?
Because, while we may not agree with our fellow country-men,

they are still our country-men....

Or did we forget that along the way?

10. Is there any limit to the bullshit you'll swallow ?
Only the craziest of Bushler's 20% stormtroopers want these programs gutted. The same demographics also want to kill me along with people who depend on Medicare and Social Security. I'm supposed to praise Obama for wanting to meet them halfway on this shit?

I prefer LIHOP over MIHOP. I wouldn't kill DUmmy kenny blankenship, I'd just let him starve.

Tsk, tsk Cyrano, you will now get hatemail - and the mods will get bannage demands - from all the LGBTGIBWS members of DU, you should really, really know better by now!

Maybe if Obama or any democrat actually had a plan...

I think we all know that answer to that.   

The Dems won control of the Congress in 2006 by being "Not Bush."  That worked so well they used it again in 2008.  It didn't work very well in 2010 but apparently they think that was just an anomaly because they're still using it.  So long as they are very clearly "Not Bush" there's no real need for plans.

I hope they keep it up for a long time.
