Right on Progressives!
Let's all stay HOME and not vote like we did in 2010, you know when the GOP
took over in a major landslide and has blocked everything they can since.
Better yet, yell at the top of your lungs, "I AM A PROGRESSIVE," at
the voting booth, while voting for the GOP Candidates to show the
Democratic party how you feel. Then, do what you are good at: cry, whine,
pout, and yell when things go the way the GOP wants.
Facts: OBAMA has done
NOTHING. (WRONG!) HCR passed great bill? NO, but it is a start. I know two
groups of people that would say a great start -those with children under 26 yrs
old and those with preexisting conditions.
Bin Laden is dead. Bush
and GOP tried for years and failed, not to mention most of major al Qaeda
leaders are dead.
Here is a little more
for your reading pleasure, If you want the facts that is: http://pleasecutthecrap.typepad.com/main/what-has-obama-done-since-january-20-2009.html This
points out numerous OBAMA accomplishments, all with links of articles to read,
and it cuts through some of the crap some are saying on here.
OBAMA took this
job. Why?...I will never know. GOP is screaming and blocking him every chance
they get. I am a Progressive, but I do not act like a lot of Progressives on
here. I guess my perspective is different. I voted for Reagan twice and
learned over the years. Acting like the RW accomplishes NOTHING. Politicians
can only CHANGE things over years! If, and I mean if, they have a large support
in the Congress and OBAMA does not, who are we to thank? Not the GOP...the
PROGRESSIVES STAYED HOME IN 2010. I hear rants that Obama needs to be more
like FDR. Hey!...news flash FDR had a CONGRESS to back him up. http://artandhistory.house.gov/house_history/index.aspx?cong=73
Total 435 Representatives, 313 Democratic party members
http://artandhistory.house.gov/house_history/index.aspx?cong=74
322 Democratic party members
http://artandhistory.house.gov/house_history/index.aspx?cong=75
334 Democratic Party members
http://artandhistory.house.gov/house_history/index.aspx?cong=76
262 Democratic Party members
http://artandhistory.house.gov/house_history/index.aspx?cong=77
267 Democratic Party members
http://artandhistory.house.gov/house_history/index.aspx?cong=78
222 Democratic Party members
During this time the
Senate had a majority of Democrats as well. The point is that FDR had a Congress that
backed him. Did all Democratic Party members agree with ALL FDR did? The
Democratic Party members listed in the House clearly show the answer...NO!
However, there is a big difference, though the numbers went down over the years; the
Democratic Party members were intelligent enough to maintain a majority during
this time.
Two questions for all on
here: 1) Name which GOP members of Congress you feel would push for
policies you support?
Look at FDR'S Congress
and what was accomplished. 2) Would those accomplishments have ever happened if
FDR was dealing with the current Congress OBAMA is dealing with?
The difference in these
two time periods points out clearly, "If you want things done support the
Democratic Party members." Then once elected, push hard with constant
pressure via solutions, not negativity. Tell them what to do, not what
not to do.
If you are going to NOT
vote no matter what, then do all in the Democratic Party a favor...go to your
real party, the GOP, and join the RW in ranting and raving, offering nothing
else of value to help the USA.
