Republicans Block An Up-Or-Down Vote On The Paycheck Fairness Act

Delays on Franklin?  Do you mean Al Franken?  

Stop with the BS.

During the Bush years, Democrats said if the People wanted change, they had to put Democrats in the majority in Congress. So in 2006, we did. Nothing changed. 

Democrats said, "You have to give us more Democrats -- 60 in the Senate". In 2008, we gave them the 60. And the White House. 

Obama came into office with the wind at his back. More people voted for him, a black man in good old r@c!st America, than ever voted for anyone else in the history of the US. They did it because of his ability to persuade that he was going to change the system, end the corporatocracy, lobbyism in government -- He was going to be the People's president, not a corporate t00I. 

And no sooner did Obama get elected than he slammed the brakes on the momentum of his election & a filibuster-proof Senate (tentative yet, with 2 senators, Kennedy & Byrd, at d.e.a.t.h's door), Obama did a 180-degree turn on his promises & sloooooowed everything down. To "work in a bipartisan manner with Republicans", after Republicans had already announced they were going to block everything Democrats wanted to do, vote no on everything, in lockstep.

Democrats don't get to tout passage of Lily Ledbetter without taking the blame for not following it up immediately with legislation for transparency in pay.  It's a joke without it.  It's like taking you to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, blowing in aromas from the kitchen, but not letting you eat.  

We have a faux president, who uses the bully pulpit to bash the base of the Democrat party.  Never Republicans.  He puts his power behind moving the Democratic party even farther to the right-of-center than it already is.  He does everything he can to PREVENT bringing pressure to bear on Republicans and the Blue Dogs, beginning with blocking investigations and prosecutions into the crimes of Bush and Cheney.

Enough with the BS.  It's time to cleanse the DLC from the Democratic Party. Long past it, actually.
