I wanna see some Dem-style shock doctrine...
I wanna see Obama call a press conference, get on my teevee and say "Americans are losing their jobs at the rate of 500K each month. Meanwhile, the GOP is engaging in obstructionism. I urge all you Americans to call your Senator and tell them to vote for my stimulus bill."

1. I'd like to see that as well.
But alas, we must settle for bending over backwards to appease republicker idiots. Gobama!

2. Perhaps good arguments against this idea exist, but I can't see them. I want progressive ideas to
be ushered in under the "cover" of this current crisis. I want this country to be "shocked" into flushing free market Capitalism and it's proponents down the drain for good. Hopefully there *will* be alligators in the sewers.

3. Dems can -- and should -- use GOP tactics....
the main difference is that Dems can use them while telling the truth.

Americans are losing 500K jobs a month. We can't afford to wait while the GOP holds its breath and rolls around on the floor kicking its legs for more of its idiotic tax cuts.
