Some Slogans for the Congressional Democrats

Over at Hullabaloo, I found this great list of suggested slogans for congressional Democrats:

Congressional Democrats:
"We'd stand up for you, but it didn't focus group well."

Congressional Democrats:
"We'd stand up for you, but they'd call us bad names."

Congressional Democrats:
"If we won't stand up to Bush, what makes you think we'd ever stand up for you?"

Congressional Democrats:
"If we won't stand up for the Constitution, what makes you think we'd ever stand up for you?"

Congressional Democrats:
"Sure we're cowards, but you don't have any other choice."

Congressional Democrats:
"We promise to fight for you next time."

Congressional Democrats:
"Please, don't hurt us!"

Congressional Democrats:
"We'd stand up for you, but our consultant didn't think it was a good idea."

Congressional Democrats:
"We'd stand up for you, but you'll vote for us even if we don't so it's not worth our time"

Congressional Democrats:
"We take your votes for granted."

If they can't go after a president with a 28% approval rating, whom can they go after? Pathetic.

It looks like there's going to be some kind of health care reform bill, but we're not celebrating. It's legislation that could have been important and meaningful and instead is a neutered industry-friendly cup of weak tea with a Draconian anti-choice amendment. That Obama would disappoint us is no…
Another part of Bush's interview with the Washington Post the other day that was fascinating was this exchange on the Federal Marriage Amendment: The Post: Do you plan to expend any political capital to aggressively lobby senators for a gay marriage amendment? THE PRESIDENT: You know, I think…

My question: Do we really need that many new prison guards?

Ridger -

I think that at the least they should be using their power of subpoena to seriously investigate this adminstration. They don't need to override vetos, all they need is majority and will.

That being said, I don't know why anyone thought that the country would magically change with the turn over of power in the House and Senate. Once we get the presidency, then things will start moving.
