Obama Embraces Health Care Law After Supreme Court Ruling

Sunday, August 5, 2012


If for no other reason than to prove what you're implying (that a solid Democratic Trifecta would have Democratic politicians behaving as populist liberals) is wrong, and wake ObamaZombies up, sure.

But it's a straw dog, because a Democratic Trifecta (White House, House of Representatives, a  super-majority Senate all going Democratic) won't happen.   It can't happen.  The way that districting has been gamed, it's mathematically impossible.  And with each election after CU (and the longer there is nothing done to address climate change), it becomes even more impossible.  

And with that being said, that is why the solution, the only solution, relies on a third party getting its foot in the door (enough votes to get a seat at the table next election) or, second best, should Romney win and your worst fears become realized (that he's Cheney on steroids), that the People become galvanized and real populist leadership comes forward within the Democratic Party to take the reins away from the DLC-neoliberals or coalesce and coalition a successful third party movement.

We've been doing it your way, putting the lesser of two eviIs into office, for 20 years now, and the government and the Democratic­Party keeps moving farther to the right.  That's because your way is to lie to the American people and put Republican­s-in-Democ­rats'-clot­hing into office. At the rate this is going, Republican­s won't have to bother getting Roe overturned (why bother outlawing ab0rtion when you've made it virtually impossible to obtain one?).  Regulating banks and Wall Street won't be necessary because the top 1 percent will have ALL of the money.    The disabled and elderly will be dead, so privatizin­g Social Security won't be much of an issue.  Schools will be all privatized under Democrats and only those employed and making a great salary will be able to send their children to good charter schools.  PBS has had its funding slashed under Democrats so children will have no commercial­-free children's programmin­g and will be rank-and-f­ile corporate slaves.  And the wars, expanded under Obama and Democrats (beyond what BushCheney did) will still be going on when your children have children.

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

When do you realize that you've become that classic definition for 'insan!ty' ("Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results")?

Do you ever realize it?
