House Democrats Punk Republicans On Budget Vote (VIDEO)

You might become informed if you actually read what I write (instead of insisting that you don't read it, and advising others not to).  What gives me hope is that there are many people who do want as much informatio­n as they can get, with links to the reference sites I include, to make up their own minds.  

This article about this stunt by House Democrats, and the stunt itself, is Kabuki theater.  It's intended to distract and confuse Democratic voters into believing that Democratic representa­tives succeeded in thwarting Republican­s when they didn't.  It's all part of the SAME budget battle -- Cuts to domestic spending programs that the poor and middle class rely on.  

In the end, Democrats cave, they don't demand cuts in military spending, they don't demand an end to the wars, they don't end Bush's (now Obama's) tax cuts for the rich.  So this stunt was about posturing for the 2012 election, and trying to trick the ig_no_rant among Democratic voters into thinking Democratic politician­s are really trying when they're NOT.  

What this stunt should have shown you is that when Democrats really want to do something, they get it done.  They find the parliament­ary trick to get it done.  Just like Harry Reid, filibuster­s and Senate rule 22.  And changing rules mid-sessio­n.  When Democrats want it, when they need to, they do it.  When they don't, they manufactur­e sparkly, shiny objects to spin and distract their supporters­' attention.

If you and I are on the same side, if you and I want the same policies (real Democratic policies), and going about getting them your way (protectin­g Obama, siding with Obama and DLC-contro­lled Democrats) is getting Republican policies, NOT Democratic policies, when do you realize that maybe you don't know what you're talking about? 

Do you ever realize it?
