Have the Dems actually done any of that yet? No one can write about what hasn't happened.
I'm sure the first time the Dems obstruct passage of a normal-business bill (like allowing the military to continue getting paychecks) via filibuster, with a 100% vote for political reasons, requiring a 60-vote filibuster-break vote for a bill to pass, rather than the Constitutional majority of 51 votes, you'll let us know.
Good think nobody here has proposed that theory then, right? 
I agree with your assessment, above. I'll repeat again, I was not trying to say the election was about eliminating blue dogs. It wasn't. Only that it turns out, that indeed was the result - the in-office Dems left are now the most progressive of the lot. And they are banding behind Pelosi and Reid with that in mind. |
Please answer the question. I asked what the dems HERE thought.
Pelosi's stated goal is to obstruct any compromise Obama has with the GOP. That seems to fit the bill.
There is very little progressive about being liberal. As I asked a few times, do you think the Democrats going further left will really serve them well?
