Dems, huh! What are they good for? Absolutely nothing!

  • May. 23rd, 2007 at 4:28 PM
So, here's the rant you've probably all been waiting for:

Fuck you, Democrats. Seriously, fuck you. If it weren't for the fact that Pennsylvania doesn't haven an open primary, I'd tear up my registration card into 280 pieces and send one to each Democrat in the House and Senate. They might be trying to convince us that either of the two major bills right now are coated in lube as they shove them up our ass, but no, they're red-fucking hot.

Back in November, America rose up and said "fix this shit". Dems took over at the end of January, and all they've accomplished so far is loosing a game of political chicken with a lame duck moron with approval numbers in the toilet. How fucking dumb do you have to be? They lost a chess match to a blind guy playing on a different board. Great job, assholes. Great fucking job. And you wonder why this annointed Congress has approval numbers just a few points higher than President Fucktard?

Since taking over, Dems have:
  • Caved to Bush's demand for unlimited war.

  • Blubbered along while Alberto Gonzalez is revealed to be a corpse-fucking vampire who can't tie his shoes without kicking a puppy.

  • Claimed that their steaming pile of dogshit immigration legislation was a "great comprimise" and we should all go gaga over it.

  • Failed to provide even the illusion of leadership.

  • In trying, made themselves look worse and then didn't bother to call anyone on it (Pelosi in Syria)

  • Played to the tune of the most corrupt administration since (at least) Nixon's Crooks'r'Us
Way to win, Dems. Way to parley that great victory in '06 into... jack fucking shit. You'll be lucky to hold those seats in '08, and you'll be lucky if this fiasco doesn't drag the eventual nominee down with it.

I'm back to Edwards as my guy. Not only is he the one that I agree with the most (I'm starting to find Kucinich's desire for media at any cost to be a bit desperate), he's one of the few Dems not tainted by this by being in Congress at the moment. Yes, he voted for the war, but he's taken his licks for that. Obama can scream all he wants about not voting for the war, but at the end of the day, he's already said he'll vote for a bill with no timetables because Bush vetoed the first one. That's not leadership. That's not standing up for morals, no matter how unpopular. Fuck that. And Hillary? Not a fucking chance.

So yeah, fuck you, Dems. If you give me someone else besides John Edwards to vote for in the general, I have another candidate already lined up. (Seriously, Thom, it's Edwards or Truelove).

You know what's funny about being a parent? It changes the whole way you look at things. That and having a family member over in Iraq right now. Sure, she's a contractor, but still. Anyway, what this comes down to, is I can see why they would want to fund the troops over pressing for the time table when it comes down to it. Because first they do have to give money to the people they are trying to save, no matter why they are over there. Make sure they are as safe as they can be before trying another way to get them back. They couldn't keep sending bills to the President to get vetoed unti teh troops ran out of money because BUSH WOULDN'T CARE. At least the Dems did care, and I'm OK with that. As a parent, who would make a similar decision, parenthood teaches you there is no black and white anymore, just a series of really bad decisions, of which you have to choose the lesser if you can find it. Parenthood is politics really.
Also I'd rather not see my step sister killed for the lack of funding because the dems kept pushing a bill that kept getting vetoed. Thank you.

Cutting off funding for the troops means that the Pentagon would be forced to cease military operations and move them out of the country. It's not like they'd say "well, no more bullets! Start throwing rocks!" The military, without funding to continue, would be forced to redeploy.

Sending them money isn't going to make them safe. Cutting it off is the only way to force their safety. Dems don't seem to get that idea.

Shortly after you posted this, I posted it (credited to you) into my own LJ.

However, it's been sticking in my craw and I've been getting madder and madder since I read what you said. In fact I'm really fucking irritated.

I'd just changed my registration from Independent to Democratic, too.

So, as you'll see on my LJ, I have said as much to those supposedly representing me.

Of course, that's well and good. However, I want to begin devoting serious energy to solving this problem.

Please let me know what you're going to do and include me in your plans. I'll take your lead.
