Well, bb, weren't you the one who came up with "Obomba" here in Mudville???

BTW, what exatcly are the proposals that the Repubs put forth other than buy insurance accross state lines which the Dems are fine with???

That's the probolem here, bruce... The progressive movement has waited ***patiently*** for three decades to get the stars aligned just correctly for any serious new problem solving legislation that would make the country a fairer country... We did throw these temper tantrums like the Tea Partiers... We didn't have the massive pools of $$$$ to buy ads to further our causes... What we did was allow the Reagan Revolution to unravel and unravel it has done as if it was all drawn up on paper... Now the country is in serious condition... If it were a hospital patient it woudl be in ICU yet the Reaganites aren't yet squeezing the last little bit out of the working class... This was all designed to kill the New Deal and that has been the goals of the right going back well before the current righties here in Mudburg were even born... This intense hatred of the New Deal is institutionalized...

So here the progressives are sayin, "Hey, time for another mid course correction" while the country hurls itself toward the obyss and there are folks, like Hal in Space Oddessey sayin', "Everything is fine, Hal"... We know better... Tings are not fine and in their desire to hold power the current right is willing to let the country crash and burn... That is not an overstatement... That is exactly what we have here...

And the two men who represent the "Crash & Burn Party" are the two men I made reference to: "B 'n B"... Hey, they are acting like traitors... They are siding with Osama as far as it looks from over here on the pro-human side of the isle... Why should we respect them... They are unAmerican... They are acting like the enemy... They deserve no respect from me or anyone else who isn't part of their/your Crash 'n Burn Party... I mean, if all you want is to see a country that in in serious trouble get worse than exapct no respect from me... This is beyond just a debate of issues... This is the survival of our country...

So until B & B decide that they want to be part of the solution then, as far as I am concerned, they are no better than the Taliban...
