Anything the Dems want, they can basically pass, but instead they're busy capitulating at every turn because they're pathetic and afraid of a bunch of loudmouths.
But all this stupid **** about wanting Republican votes for things and wanting to work together, when Republicans have indicated they have no interest at all in working with him on anything (unless working with him means getting everything they want, exactly how they want it, which defeats the point of them losing the last election in the first place) is going to ensure that he fails...just like he's doing now. At this rate, he's certainly not going to get voted out of office based on his policies, since he's not enacting any of them because he's too busy caving on EVERYthing they want. He'll get voted out because he did NOTHING in four years. And that will be his fault.

What did you expect? The guy is a p.ussy. Dems are notorious for being weak and indecisive. They are far better politicians than the other side of the aisle.
I'm of the belief that doing nothing is better than doing something. Big head Ted did something and sided with Bush on MIPPA and it did nothing but give the keys to the treasury to the pharmaceutical and insurance companies. These plans originally cost 20% more than original medicare and the coverage was s.hit and doctors could accept the plans on a case by case basis.
To trust the democrats, or any politician for that matter, on an issue as monumental as this is foolish. They are not looking out for our best interests and chances are all they will do is pass something that will take away over 100,000 middle-class jobs and add to the already catastrophically high deficit.
