Midterm Elections 2010 – Democrats Need Spine Donors.
I Thought I’d Never Quote Her, but . . . Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom said,
“Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous;
you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides.”
About a year ago, Bill Moyers appeared on Bill Maher’s show. Discussing health care reform, the usually imperturbable Moyers, had this to say about the Democrats, “too many Democrats have had their spines surgically removed.”
He continued, “The problem is the Democratic Party. This is a party that has told its progressives — who are the most outspoken champions of health care reform — to sit down and shut up.”
He had observations for President Obama as well, and the Democratic party as a whole needs to pay attention as it wimps – I mean limps – toward the November Midterms.
There’s a fear that Barack Obama will become the Grover Cleveland of this era . . . Grover Cleveland was a good man, but he became a conservative Democratic president because he didn’t fight the interests. … I would much rather see Barack Obama be Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt loved to fight. He came into office and railed against the malefactors of great wealth, and he was glad to take them on.
Here’s A Starting Point . . . In the video below Congressman Anthony Weiner pounds the “Republic party” like a punching bag while he “opines” about the 9/11 Health & Compensation Act, and the GOP’s unprincipled obstruction of it.
Closing with Margaret Thatcher – the person I once thought I’d never quote . . .
“To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs,
principles, values and policies.
So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.
If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared
to compromise on anything at any time,
and you would achieve nothing.“
So, Dems . . . . . . . .
