I’m sick of Democrats. We need a liberal party.

masswaster commented on the blog post Plan B: When You Don’t Fight, You Get Walked on Later
I heard all I need to of Obama’s lofty promising in 2008. And I’ve seen all I need to of Obama’s lowly policies once entrusted with office. I’ve already tuned him out this time around.

masswaster commented on the diary post Politico Fails at GOP Turd-Polishing by Teddy Partridge.
Super Congress failed because of Republican allegiance to Grover Norquist.
In this one case I’d like to say, “Thank you, Grover Norquist.” Without complete and utter intransigence from Republicants, Demoblicans would have sacrificed the their best of their own party’s platform to the false god of austerity.

masswaster commented on the blog post The One Demand: Hire People to Do Stuff
These “demands” sound like the platform of the Democratic Party that they wouldn’t enact when given the numbers to do so in 2008.

Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006
House passed it 420-10
Senate passed by Unanimous Consent (no roll call vote)Another case of Democrats going along with Republican crap….

masswaster commented on the blog post Obama Jobs Bill Faces Hurdles with Public, Fellow Democrats
Can we stop calling this Obama’s “jobs bill,” since that part of it will never be enacted (and is woefully inadequate for meaningful job creation anyway)?
It’s Obama’s “entitlement and tax cut bill,” since that’s the only part that might be enacted. Call it what it is.

masswaster commented on the blog post After Rick Perry Cut Fire Department Funding by 75%, Texas Ravaged by Wildfires
I love hearing how full shit Republicans are. But I just wish I could hear Democrats call them on it. Is there a Democrat in Texas pointing out that they need more taxes and spending there?

I hate it when we have to rely on Republicans to save us from Democrats.

Make drug tests mandatory for CORPORATE WELFARE.
And test them for psychopathy too while at it.

masswaster commented on the blog post The Changing Blogosphere and the Need for Progressive Infrastructure
I go to a half dozen liberal blogs and get emails from a dozen others every day – each out to protect and promote its own turf. We need infrastructure alright, along with common purpose for reforming the Democratic Party or promoting another.

masswaster commented on the blog post Invisible Town Hall Revolution Continues to Roll, With Real Impact on GOP
This is fun to see. But until the Democratic Party is reformed and made true to its own platform and principles, it will do little good to badger Republicans except for the satisfaction of it.

masswaster commented on the blog post As Congress Nears Debt Limit Endgame, Attention Turns to a Trigger
Fuck compromise. Fuck em all. There is no crisis. The markets will not fail. This is just another big lie like Iraq and the”meltdown” of 2008. Only intransigence can save us from the next big grab since.

masswaster commented on the blog post America Unmoored – Elite Failure Leads to Utter Confusion
Democrats offer the GOP over 90% of what they demanded and to Cook, “Never in my memory have both parties and both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue appeared as dysfunctional as they do today [...]“
He’s as full of shit as the Democrats who are offering the 90%. Feed that meme, Charlie.

masswaster commented on the diary post President Obama Doesn’t Understand the Origins of the Deficit by Dean Baker.
“It is incredible that no major news outlet noted this enormous gaffe on the fundamentals of the most important issue facing the country today.”
Why is it incredible that the DC Village Idiots blew another opportunity to report and comment factually? It’s what they get paid the big bucks (not) to do.

masswaster commented on the blog post The Confused State of the Debt Ceiling Mosh Pit
Screw the Grand Bargain. Since when is giving the GOP 90% of what they demand a bargain? Better to have a short term default and its consequences than give away the New Deal to hostage takers who will only come back for even more next time. This is a Neville Chamberlain moment for Democrats when what’s needed is Winston Churchill.

I got bored with Mr. Ed when he switched from defender of the public option to defender of the mandate.

masswaster commented on the diary post Move Over Doug Feith: Lawrence O’Donnell Has a Friend by Scarecrow.
I wonder what O’Donnell will say if (when) Obama actually cuts his deal with devil. I’m guessing he’ll be in for the whole pound and find and way to apologize for it and then blame me for any electoral failure that comes of it.

GOP spoilers would be a problem if no one knew. As it is they’re actually a blessing to help generate Dem enthusiam in the districts.
