It saddens me that my party -- the Democratic party -- has to be such nuts when they're in power.
One, they don't make the slightest effort to fall in line for the common good. Each one needs to be the Grand Poobah of the day, with it always being their way or the highway. We're fortunate to have the presidency, but the members of Congress feel no obligation to help the party along or the president's agenda. Not when they have their own little beef and own little fiefdom to guard.
So we have idiots like Dennis Kucinich, who said he would be willing to be the one vote that brings down health care reform as it now exists and could pass. Because it doesn't pass muster as to his very pure standards. So we would simply allow all the effort to fall by the wayside, all the folks who would be covered to wither up, die, and blow away. For the sake of this egomaniac's purity.
As far as I'm concerned, these idiots should've fallen in line back in August and got the SOB done. But no ... let's postpone it till Christmas. Then after the first of the year. Now maybe before April. If they wonder why we're not excited to contribute to the Congressional Democrats' Reelection Fund, look no further than these missed opportunities.
We're already seeing you can be in the minority and gum up the works for the other guy. Unfortunately, though, the Republicans tend to have a little more discipline when they're in power. It's our guys who don't know what they're doing. Which is very sad. Because we're the ones with the ideals. It's just we elect all this human garbage who won't act on our ideals.
If you can't get what is perfect, at least get something .... stupid.
The other unhinged Democrat big in the news these days is Eric Massa. This guy's a turd. Good grief, do we know how to pick 'em?!
