And remember, they're serious about the wording

The headline reads;
"A productive Congress gets no respect from voters"
This is all that I have to say about it; may a pox fall upon all who think this to be true.

Fourth graf in:

"Democrats are dearly hoping history won't repeat itself. In 1966, after Democrats created Medicare and Medicaid and passed civil rights laws, they got hammered in the election, losing 48 seats in the House and four in the Senate."

Really, is this dude as historically clueless as he seems? I guess the idea that Democrats championed the Civil Rights Act is something "everybody knows" and is therefore inarguable. They got hammered in that election cycle because they obstructed the legislative agenda of the only Democrat in Washington who championed the cause.

And he lost his job, in part because of his advocacy, two years later. Well, and there was the escalation of that little affair over on the eastern Pacific Rim thing.

What a fucking retard. And one presumes he gets paid for this shit. I'd be just as pleased if neither house of Congress ever again managed to convene a quorum.

One does have to wonder.

As Billy Beck likes to point out, facts don't matter to these people; they just make it all up as they go.

I just about threw up at that bit about Vietnam, "Democrats paid the price for events largely outside their control — an escalating war in Vietnam going badly, rowdy anti-war protests and violence in American cities," as if it weren't the Hippie-radicals who were taking it all to the streets.

Then that bit about it all beind, "Out of their control?" Who the fuck got us into Indo-China in the first God-damned place? Oh, that's right, wasn't it JFK?, the holy-boy of the Donks? And if the Donks wanted out of Vietnam so badly, why didn't they haul the boys home, as is their Constitutional authority, ya know, that bit about waging war being vested solely with Congress?

Morons.

And what about this bullshit; "Republicans have done all they could to discredit Congress and Democrats have failed to sell their agenda. Moreover, it will take years to fully feel the effects of the health care law and financial regulation," as if it's some ad-scheme that needed to have better packaging, like a snazzier soup can label. This protracted death-by-government is something that's supposed to be comforting? This shit will last 'til the end of my life, here. I want it all to end, and right now, and for the bureaucrats to never get to see the law by which to rule from for even ONE day, much less YEARS.

Fuck 'em all.

For whatever it's worth, and while your blood is still at a roiling boil, Mark, check out Fran Porreto's piece, Wishful Thinking; A Bloodless Revolution.

I really wish folks could get their heads straight about this; it's going to be something nasty, because the Authoritarian Left isn't about to relinquish anything, certainly not their power, at least not willingly.

This party promises to be festive.
