It pisses me off that the CPC whip isn’t stronger, but I think it was our mistake in asking for a pledge against opt-outs when unfortunately that’s virtually guaranteed to be part of the bill. If we had focused solely on opposition to triggers, we might have been a lot more successful.

I like that wennie out, but what can You expect from wennie’s. We saw them wennie against the Republicans for years, even wennie voting with them for the wars and the funding.

They sat back and wennied while the Republicans and teabaggers won August. They have wennied to let the Republicans wittle down everything they proposed. They even wennie out when a republican says boo. They even wennie when the bluedogs turn their balls blue, but think that’s flying the parties colors.

Oh to try and get them to wennie in for a change. Wouldn’t it be nice to see them like franks in a factory flying out the filling machine tied together at the ends like real wennies are made.

Vote for a wennie and get your dog cooked.

I’ve been reading through some old FDL threads, and trying to connect some dots. My conclusion- Schakowsky has a lot to answer for in this whole mess, including why FDL funding got pulled by that “organization”. YMMV

I know that none of the far out lefty orgs I’m associated with did. Figured it was a waste of time and effort.

I would bet money that someone, somewhere burned in effigy in the US

No doubt. But it was probably a lonely few radical anarchists, not participating in an organized event put on by a national organization funded by big corporations and actively promoted by a major cable news station.

Yeah, this is another example of IOKIYAR.

Jane,

I have a quick question from previous thread.

When you wrote “the only other realistic possibility on the table is the “Goldman Sachs” preferred bill,” were you referring to the “bull case” scenario as the “Goldman Sachs” preferred bill?

Options were: do nothing, the “bull case” scenario, the “baseline” scenario, or the “bear case” scenario.

(Sorry to bring this question to this thread, but I want to be sure I understand you correctly!)

To each his own. Frank Wolf has been my Congressman since the Reagan revolution in 1980.

And I don’t feel he’s EVER represented me, or my wishes, or my best interests.

Diane Watson would have the bad be the ally of the expedient.

Diane Watson is no progressive. She merely plays one in the kabuki theater of Congress.
