We are reaching the two-year anniversary of the Obama Administration. Instead of “Change We can Believe In” we have “Change we Can’t Believe”.
During those two years a lot has been done in the name of “bipartisanship”.
To name just a few examples:
We had a bipartisan effort to ignore the prior administration’s war crimes and violations of the Constitution.
We saw bipartisan efforts to bail out Wall Street and the big banks.
We saw bipartisan efforts to ramp up our war in Afghanistan and continue to feed the military establishment.
We saw unbelievable bipartisan efforts to water down health care reform to garner Republican votes.
These are some major accomplishments!!!!
The Democrats are in the process of committing political suicide. The independents are leaving in droves. And in case you haven’t noticed it you are witnessing the massive demoralization of the progressive base of the party.
What progressives are realizing is we have a current party of Dempublicans. They profess to be something different than Republicans but that is just an illusion.
They have hidden their stripes for a long time but now they are being revealed. They are doing the bidding of Corporate America just as the Republicans. They are in the pockets of Big Parma and the Insurance Industry just like the Republicans. They butter the bread of the Military Industrial Complex at every turn in tandem with the Republicans.
Well the “chickens are coming home to roost” in a little over 30 days.
Your latest spineless move to put off voting on the Bush era tax cuts is just the latest example.
I hear Pelosi just might allow a vote before the midterms on these tax cuts. That’s good. I just might get off my butt and vote for a Democrat if she does!! Think there is a GOTV problem.
