The Tea Party Way, Governing By Extortion

If the Dems were in charge they'd also redistrict to benefit themselves as much as possible. Point?

So much for the full faith and credit of the United States.

Bob - what's your alternative to getting agreement on a budget that can exist within the current budget constraints? Or are you in favor of continuing to elevate the debt limit further in the stratosphere?

WaPo's Jenn Rubin has some sound advice for the wingnuttery today.

Naw, Pete. We Dems are all about inclusivity. Just ask any Native, Black, Latino or Asian. They are the future as we of European heritage were ages ago. Krauts, Chex, Poles and Italians all faced marginalization from the Angles when they got here.

Redistrict as in, dilute the GOP votes as much as possible.

Unless you're starting to believe your own parties hype

Sorry, Mike. I don't see that austerity is a valid mindset in the face of the fragility of the economy. Under this President the deficit has been cut almost in half. The right wing pork is about the only place where I can see room to trim but your party goes after the lowest rung of the ladder, I can only assume that the Repubs are sadists looking for no real economic benefit.

Yours was a loaded question as usual, Mike.

Prove it.

Handy statement. Are Democrats human? The party was all too willing to throw Kucinich under the bus here in Ohio to save a seat.

Oh well, I tried to answer your question honestly. (Where's that one fingered salute smiley when you need one?)

Do you really believe that the redistricting was done in a fair manner in 2010?

I get it, Congress makes a budget and passes it and then when it comes to fund the budget they have to do a whole new budget all over again so they can short sheet the working public.
