1. This isn't going to go over to well.

[Dinger]

2. UAIBS

Figure it out.

[rosesaylavee]

3. It's called politics. Trying to lay some groundwork

so that maybe they will be able to work with the guy. What, you expected him to go on O'Reilly and say that Boner is the biggest dumbass there ever was and no way would anyone ever be able to talk with the guy?

[JamesA1102]

12. So when Dennis does it

it is politics, but when any other Dem does it they are DLC sellouts.

[firedupdem]

14. +1 n/t

[Canuckistanian]

22. Oh, dear

Now you've nailed it.

[Bobbie Jo]

38. Now you've got it.

Get with the program dammit. :rofl:

[treestar]

40. Amen!

Goodness I can believe that post. It's saying Dennis is playing three dimensional chess! Why can't the President?

[apocalypsehow]

45. "But...but... but....but...th-th-that's different! It's Dennis!!!!!!11"

:thumbsup:

[CakeGrrl]

53. Ding ding ding! We have a winnah! n/t

[Spazito]

71. Bingo!

The hypocrisy is both appalling and hilarious.

[SeattleGirl]

15. But when Obama says he's reaching out to the other side,

some folks on DU go ballistic. WTF is up with THAT?

44. Yup.

Wish I could repeal that very unfair "tax" they've put on him.

Hypocrisy doesn't sit will with me.

[Number23]

51. Plus like 540 million. And we know all about that "tax," don't we firedup??

:pals:

9. The truth hurts nt

[boppers]

5. It's the "give 'em rope" strategy.

Hey, Republicans were elected two days ago, what progress have they made?

[Fire1]

6. Stop!

:spray: :rofl:

[msongs]

relax he is just following the leader nt

[SunsetDreams]

8. I thought Kucinich followed his own lead.

[Dinger]

7. Who's Your "Saint"?

Just curious.

[JamesA1102]

10. Simon Templar nt

[Fla_Democrat]

23. I prefer Connor MacManus

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boondock_Saints

But then again, Rocco was cool too.

:smoke:

[Naturyl]

11. Et tu, Dennis?

Oh well, nobody's perfect and they are "colleagues" in a sense, so I guess he's just trying to be gracious.

Not excusing it, though. I expect fight and fire from DK, not this. Disappointing.

[flvegan]

13. As Kucinich stated, Boehner has been able to work with him on more local issues.

If Boehner can work with Kucinich, Obama should be cake.

As for your "Saint" remark? Cram it. Spin O'Reilly's bullshit intent all you want.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

[flvegan]

19. Thank you, Peggy.

:thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My pleasure!

"As for your "Saint" remark? Cram it. Spin O'Reilly's bullshit intent all you want."

[Violet_Crumble]

29. I'll multiply that by 100 n/t

[JamesA1102]

30. Seems like Kucinich is the one helping O'Reilly spin BS. nt

[Violet_Crumble]

32. No, it doesn't n/t

[flvegan]

42. Does it? Please respond with how specifically that is.

I'd really like to address your..."concerns" in this matter.

I also find it to be unusual that you didn't address your "saint" remark, chilly.

[JamesA1102]

54. Giving John Boehner compliments on a propaganda network

is helping O'Reilly's BS spin.

If any other Dem did that they would be demonized but Dennis is a "saint" who can do no wrong to many.

[treestar]

41. Of all the nerve!

:rofl:

[TexasObserver]

52. Agreed. The process has to go on, whatever the make up of the House.

We have the president to block with the veto, a powerful weapon if he uses it well.

We have the senate to block on many issues.

The president allowed the GOP congressional minority to control the process the past two years. Now, ironically, when he lacks the votes, he's going to have to take it back away from the GOP House majority.

House members have to work together to pass legislation. Politics is the public face, but inside the process, they're either workers or they're not. Work horses get it done. Show horses get camera time.

[Lucian]

65. This is why you're one of my favorite posters, flvegan.

:thumbsup:

[Doctor_J]

68. Really? Is destroying the president one of the local issues?

That's one of Boner's main goals. Boner's had 2 years to work with Obama. How'd he do?

You cram it. And Dennis can cram it too.

[flvegan]

72. Afraid?

Seems you fear that Obama can be destroyed, per your post.

Cramming it is the least of my concerns from the likes of you. I don't suffer fools gladly.

[Barack_America]

16. If anyone needs to hear "Wake Up America!" it's their audience. nt

[SunsetDreams]

20. I wonder what would happen if Obama did the same...

oh nm :)

[USArmyParatrooper]

39. Yeah, gee I wonder.

[suzie]

66. A thread demonizing Obama with 456 recommendations?

[lelgt60]

18. he's been on fox (o'reilly) for years n/t

[AlinPA]

26. Democrats should not go on Fox "news", it only helps Fox claim "Fair and Balanced"

and we know it is not. It's a propaganda station and some Democrats act like it isn't. It is a big mistake.

[JamesA1102]

31. Exactly nt

[Violet_Crumble]

27. What's with the "Saint" Kucinich thing? n/t

[AlinPA]

33. I didn't know he was promoting Fox "news". I've lost any respect for him just because of that. nt

[Violet_Crumble]

35. Are you meaning to reply to someone else?

It's just that what you said has nothing to do with what I asked.

btw, appearing on something doesn't mean someone's promoting it...

[AlinPA]

36. Yes, please see below. Sorry I did that.

[Violet_Crumble]

43. That's okay. We must have posted at the same time n/t

[Terra Alta]

28. Dennis has been promoting Faux for a while

He even did a commercial for them a few years back touting their "Fair and Balanced" BS... don't know why he does it but everyone has their faults, and this is his.. the man isn't perfect.

[AlinPA]

34. Ooops I did a reply to the post above, meant it for you. sorry.

[ShamelessHussy]

37. thats what politicians do... talk to people via the media

fyi

[elocs]

46. Perhaps the DU darling DK is playing 3D chess.

Have you not considered that? :shrug:

[SunsetDreams]

48. 10 trillion dimensional!!!!!

[Cha]

47. Roseanne Cash calls boner an "Asshat"

http://www.mediaite.com/online/rosanne-cash-to-john-boehner-stop-using-my-dads-name-as-a-punchline-you-asshat/

[SunsetDreams]

49. that's because he is! Good for her!

[brentspeak]

50. Kucinich has always reached across the aisle

Hasn't made him any less of a liberal progressive, though.

[TornadoTN]

57. He negotiates from a position of power & confidence, not rolling over dead and surrendering

Three days now and all I've seen from our President and most of our party is "Ok, let's give in. This isn't possible. Time to compromise. Dynamics. Blah blah blah"


We went from "We don't have the votes" to......."We don't have the votes"



Now they can just keep marching further rightward because they have "cover" that the cheerleaders will buy into.

[suzie]

64. Perhaps because Dennis Kucinich never was one?

Anti-women's issues for 30 years.

Reached out to old-time racist and KKK lover, Ron Paul.

Reached out to O'Reilly.

Where I'm from, if it walks like a guinea hen and quacks like a banty rooster, it might not be a duck.

[fascisthunter]

55. "Saint"? Flame baiting

[ShamelessHussy]

56. thats ok because he is a real progressive, fighting for change

if you fall into that camp, no rules apply, just don't use that tone with the chosen ones.

[fascisthunter]

59. I hear ya

After 30 years of moderate-conservative policies and dems pushing those policies, we are here today wondering why people stay at home. When I see these threads, I picture a spoiled brats blaming their parents for not giving the kids what they wanted.

They get everything they want, and when they fail, they blame and attack the left.

[ShamelessHussy]

61. it makes 0 sense, unless you want to perpetuate the status quo

then it makes perfect sense.

i am still hopeful that new leaders, who truly have the peoples interest at heart, will arise with the massive organizing and communication capabilities available to so many with the advent of the web.

I know I would freely and liberally lend my skills to such an organization.

:hi:

[Iggo]

58. He's doing it just to piss you off, James.

[JamesA1102]

74. How childish of him. nt

[cliffordu]

60. I thought he looked like a corporate sellout.

This appearance bears me out.

[POAS]

63. Boner and Dennis may have similar goals

re; 2012?

[Doctor_J]

67. They'll take anyone who wants to bash the prez and slobber on Boner

looks like the number of people who are actually on our side is shrinking

[JonLP24]

69. I don't understand what the point is here

A lot of Dems have been on Fox and a lot of Dems had some praise at sometime or another when it comes to the GOP. Hell, JD Hayworth was running ads of Obama praising McCain back when they were both Senators.

[JamesA1102]

73. Yes but when most others do it

they are denounced here as DLC sellouts. But not "Saint" Dennis. For some reason, he can do no wrong.

[Doctor_J]

70. I wonder if the people who voted for Dennis on Tuesday

knew he would be schmoozing Boner like this, on Fox

[MilesColtrane]

75. He meant “Quintessential Pro” as in...

this type.
