Fw: The wish...

Too funny not to pass on!

I met a fairy today that would grant me one wish.

"I want to live forever," I said.

"Sorry" said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that!"

"Fine," I said, "I want to die after the Democrats get their heads out of their asses!"

"You crafty bastard!" said the fairy.

I actually agree with the sentiment.

There are MANY Democrats who I would
love to see pull their heads out of their
asses. Far too many are either Blue Dogs
or chickenshits.

However, the worst Democrat is far better
than anyone the GOP has trotted out for the
last 40 years.

I hate to say it, but this one could be placed on a "MyExasperatedDemocraticFamily" website.

Why is this too funny not to pass on?

I am also disgusted with DINOs, which includes every single purported "Democratic" pol at the federal level, most especially Obummer. They've all gone to the right and turned into corporatist shills. Agree with guraud to a certain extent but growing more disenchanted with each passing day.

Interesting how the rightwing think tanks push the notion about how "socialist" this Admin is, which is 180 degrees incorrect. But it sure enables the notion of ever more rightwing movement of the gov't, plus ever more money for the oligarchs.

Also agree: why is this "too funny not to pass on." Typical propoganda instructions. Guess the wingers are too braindead to figure out what to do without direct instructions or something.

Amen to this. We'll be waiting a long, long time for the majority of elected Dems to grow a pair, realize they have (or had) a huge mandate and stop being afraid of what the jackasses on the other side may say.

with all respect to Anonymous, my "take" is that Dems are "in" on the game, and they're just playing their part. I truly feel that BHO was a bait & switch rightwing candidate who lied during the campaign. It was no mistake or coincidence that BHO chose corporatist Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff; all part of the planned program to turn the nation over to the corporations and the oligarchs.

WYSIWYG. BHO is rightwing stealth candidate. His Admin is not lacking in "cojones;" they are doing exactly what they planned to do. This is not a glitch; it's a feature.

Just my take, fwiw.

I know it can seem that way sometimes, but I really think its more a matter of bad organization an messaging on the part of the Dems.

I think it he had his way, Obama would have implemented more progressive policies, but he's restrained by the system that he has to work in. He's hesitant to try and dictate things to Congress and he knows that a certain level of pragmatism is required to win over the more conservative interests in his party while at the same time battling a fanatic opposition which will use every trick in the book to try and defeat him.

Add that to the fact that for some reason Democratic messaging absolutely sucks, especially compared to the 24/7 sound machine coming from the right, and its easier to see why they act like a bunch of scared rabbits all the time.

More importantly, what kind of nitwit wants to live forever?

I cut Obama a little slack. I do think he's limited by the corporatist system that has been in place for decades, only growing stronger with each year. I do look forward to Rahm Emanuel leaving the admin... perhaps Obama will choose a better guy.
