HINT: The Solution For Democrats Is NOT TO BECOME MORE CONSERVATIVE (R U Listening?)
People want change and they want it NOW because the problems they are dealing with are so severe.

Conservatives want NO CHANGE... they want things to remain the same, and to benefit the same people who have 'owned' Congress for over 10 years.

It would be a colossal mistake for Democrats to think they just need to become more conservative in order to recapture the majority that swept Obama into the Oval Office.

Take some bold action, create jobs, rein in Wall Street, help people avoid foreclosures, and give working class families a break. ACT... and act ruthlessly if necessary, but ACT NOW, or it will be too late.

2. +1 -- the only problem is, they've blown off the Base. The leadership in DC has been ignoring

us.

I'd like to see them listen to us and not sell out.

I just haven't seen it up to now.

6. I thought they got the wake up call in November 2008. But I hope you're correct and have been

working on how to fix this boondoggle.

A year and filibuster-proof majority wasted is a pretty serious consequence for not
listening to your Base!

I need to ground and center. I'm so seething pissed right now, all of my chakras are glowing red.

Fuck fuck fuck!

5. You are correct, and they (RhamaObama) IGNORE US
at their own risk -

In November there will be a route of the Democratic Party if the Corporate Democrat whores keep on their Current path (Ya listing RhamaObama?).

They had BETTER take this DEFEAT as warning shot across the bow, and change, or the next shot in November will SINK the U.S.S Democrat.

And Obama will be Done in '12 - He will have totally lost the Base that got him elected

7. Nope they aren't listening. Watch. The Dems will think the public want more GOP policies.
Edited on Tue Jan-19-10 11:49 PM by Kablooie
And by doing so, they will give government back to the GOP assholes and not say a thing when the country drops into a deeper horrific hole in the future.
