The more the Democrats try to accomplish anything, the more they will create bigger and bigger failures which ultimately end up in total defeat.ipa14246@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-58487932358031900372009-10-22T09:31:57.466-07:002009-10-22T09:31:57.466-07:00It goes back to who the Democrats are as a party a...It goes back to who the Democrats are as a party and who the Republicans are as a party. The Republicans, for all intents and purposes, are a party of nothing but conservative, primarily southern, whites, and a handful of radical anti-Castro Cubans. The Democrats are a coalition of everyone the Republicans hate or don't think belong in "their" country.<br /><br />One of the biggest problems the President has is that he ran out of things to unify his party and split the opposition relatively quickly.<br /><br />To her credit, Pelosi has done a pretty successful job of breaking the Blue Dog's opposition to health care reform, but the Senate is easier said then done. Every single Senator has their own agenda. One of the things I believe will help them inevitably pass it though, are the senators saying they "don't have the votes." Saying you don't have the votes is a euphemism for "I'm going to filibuster the centerpiece of my own party's agenda." They're just too afraid to say it openly that the reason they don't have the votes, is because they won't vote for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
