I share your digust, disappointment, and lack of enthusiasm. At this point I shouldn't be surprised though, because really, what changed after we voted in a Dem majority in 2006? Precious little. The Democrats like to throw us just enough crumbs to keep the grumbling at bay, but now that they have a majority, they have to stop blaming the rethugs, because THEY have the MAJORITY.<br /><br />If you take it to its logical conclusion, the rethugs aren't needed for a majority vote so why would they be blamed for anyting not passing? I think the Dems are just using the rethugs as scapegoats. The true reason they can't pass progressive laws is because they are beholden to the same corporations as the rethugs are. <br /><br />We are a corporatocracy, and I don't see that changing any time soon.<br /><br />And yes, Sonia is brilliant. Love your comment.

That's ...Sonia is my friend who lives in Paris.<br />That's pretty hilarious about that idiot with the shorts and sneakers.<br />When I go to Paris next year, I plan to paint the soles of my sneakers red so the Parisiennes will think they are Christian Loboutin flats.Karen Zipdrivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394557801356007952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207551.post-63822576161732634222009-09-30T12:27:09.243-05:002009-09-30T12:27:09.243-05:00Sonia - you rock!
