1. Hell yeah!

[unblock]

2. not compromising has worked brilliantly for republicans so far, why should they stop now?

until democrats figure out how to counter effectively, they'll just keep doing what works for them.

9. The DLC crowd at the White House still hasn't learned its lesson from the midterms.

Looks like they never will.


"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."

---- Einstein

Looks like it's up to the netroots and progressive shows to carry the torch because the White House can't figure out how to find the West Wing washroom.


This is probably why MSNBC is going after Keith Olbermann.

Suspending him "indefinitely" was a trial balloon to see if they can make it permanent. With him and other progressives too. I predict that the WH will do nothing to save Keith and that the bloodbath will continue with other people being targeted too.

Doesn't look like others are fighting for Keith that much either.

If Glenn Beck were suspended there would be thousands in the streets.

But our side is busy taking our prozac and attacking anyone who doesn't repeat, "We're fine!"

12. Why would the White House

"do anything" to "save" Keith? How is it the POTUS' responsible for protecting a journalist? Olbermann has to "save" himself. And I'm a big KO fan.

15. Absolutely. If I were them I wouldn't change anything either. If you win, you're ....

.... doing something right.

3. Good to see Cenk on MSNBC

Cenk, just make sure you clear any donations with your superiors there. :sarcasm:

7. All November @3pm too!

[JTFrog]

10. They wouldn't fire him anyway.

He's just the kind of thing the new boss is looking for.

[Barbara2423]

4. The Democratics lost because we are sick and tired to their

weakness, especially the President.

[avaistheone1]

5. The GOP will never compromise.

They have made that blatantly clear over and over again ad nauseum.

[denimgirly]

6. People on DU hate Cenk because he Speaks the Truth...

A lot of DUers despise Cenk for calling out things which baffles me....but once agian Cenk is right.

[indimuse]

8. *NO!!* No more

COMPROMISE! Give the Repukes what they always gave...Just say "NO!!"

[non sociopath skin]

11. I'm afraid Obama is beginning to remind me of British LibDem leader Nick Clegg ...

... who, having campaigned for a radical and liberal set of policies, then joined in coalition with the right-wing conservatives and threw all of those policies out in order to save his own neck.

He will be richly punished by the electorate next time round ... and so, I fear, will Obama unless he grows a pair.

14. I predict several more opportunities will pass before Obama stands up and fights back
