Republican Runs Street People On Green Ticket

The comment of mine that you initially replied to in this thread was this:



==This is hardly a surprise; this is what Republicans do.



The real question is why are Democrats not playing hardball?



Why is Obama negotiating at all with Republicans? Why does he continue to play nice with them? Why does he try to win them over?



He & Democrats have never needed Republicans to pass anything. Harry Reid lets Republicans threaten to filibuster instead of forcing them to actually do it. Filibustering is hard on soft bodies. Democrats could pass whatever they want, too, through reconciliation. They refuse to do it. Democrats could also change the filibuster rule -- They don't have to wait until a new Congress convenes.



Obama & Democrats have let Republicans rise from the depths after Bush & Cheney left office. Obama refused, Obama has BLOCKED investigations & prosecutions into the Bush administration while Obama has continued most of Bush's policies.



The only question that remains is why Obama's most ardent followers still support him, someone who refuses to go to bat on populist issues.==
