Why democrats suck.
http://debby6669.blogspot.com/20…
"ignoring the American people isn't why democrats suck. Not directly, anyway. Republicans ignore the will of their constituents just as much as democrats do. Democrats suck because they lack the courage of their convictions, which makes them weak. When democrats are all claiming that they can't get a public option done because they're waiting for someone else to take the lead, they're telling you that they're weak. Americans hate weakness.
George W Bush showed us that Americans want a leader. We don't even care if that leader is smart, honest, or even qualified. Dick Cheney got every half baked, ill conceived bill that he wanted through congress with nothing resembling a 59 vote majority. And he never whined about having a hard time getting something through. They pushed through a war, an occupation, and a trillion dollars in tax cuts for really fucking rich people with the greatest of ease. And you know what? They never even had to demonstrate that they had any intentions of paying for these things in order to get them through. That was some serious leadership, and it demonstrated strength. And because they seemed so strong, they got less scrutiny. You see when you're weak it tends to make people want to pick on you more. But more than that, it makes people trust you less.
Democrats become more and more untrustworthy every time they claim to want to do something for the American people, but can't get it done because of some insurmountable obstacle. We don't trust you because you seem as if you're either lying or weak. More accurately, you seem like you're lying meekly. Americans don't mind being lied to as long as it's done with conviction. But no one likes someone that lies like a pussy. "
- Lot of truth there.boobs
- Can't argue with much of that. I'd just add that Dems simply don't know how to fight for what they believe in.luckyorphan
