"'Despite what some Democrats in Congress have suggested, voters did not signal they wanted more cooperation on the Democrats' big-government policies that most Americans oppose,' McConnell and incoming House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote in an op-ed article published in the Washington Post."
Damn it! The "Americans" McConnell and Boehner are talking about aren't the middle class Americans, the latino, african-american, working class, poor, and disenfranchised Americans. They are the wealthy, crony, robber-baron, corporate elite Americans. Where is the press? Who is calling them on this plutocratic treason?
Republicans are very clear about what they want. It is clear what their supporters want. They are willing to go to the mat for it. They are willing to bankrupt the country for it. They are steamrollering the debate and Liberals and Progressives are just waving the white flag.
No one in the progressive movement seems to want to do the heavy lifting here. The President is pretty much alone. No congress critters have stood with him, physically or rhetorically. Everyone is cowering under the threat of the dastardly scrooges in the GOP. The prog blogosphere is blasting his tax cut deal and accusing HIM of caving to the GOP.
WHERE ARE YOU? Are you calling your congressman? Are you SHOUTING at your congressmen? Are you contributing to the work being done by MoveOn and DFA? Why not?
The President has said that he'd like to get a better deal, but he's got no one watching his back. He's not caving, his supermajority in Congress is caving. Give 'em a call. NOW!
