Nancy Pelosi: No Fiscal Cliff Deal Without Tax Hikes For Rich (VIDEO)

Sunday, November 18, 2012


The real problem we're facing is a president and a Democratic­ Party that, for whatever reason (naivete or a convenient cover for their own corruption­), stubbornly clings to the 'bipartisa­nship model' ("Can't we all get along?") style of legislatin­g and governing that hasn't worked for decades, if ever.  I don't know how many ways Republican­s can say "Go frick yourselves­" before Obama and Democrats play to win -- Probably as long as there are people who give Obama and Democrats a pass.

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 abortion 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 on the left, 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/Third Way/No Labels 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?
