This pisses me the fuck off. You raised the bar too high? Fuck you, Harry. Dems took congress because people were fed up with the war, and then on the first major opportunity, a giant funding bill you could have simply refused to pass, you FUCKING CAPITULATED to the president.
I'm sick of this bullshit talk about working together. The Republicans didn't give a flying fuck about working together when they were in power, and they're using current Democratic good will to continue fucking the country in the ass. It's time to stop being polite. It was time about 5 years ago.
Fuck them. Don't pass any more funding for the war, period. Make the public understand that the reason there's no money for domestic priorities like health care, research, roads, or anything else is because Bush and the Republicans refuse to listen to the American public and GET THE FUCK OUT NOW. Stonewall until we get what we fucking elected you for.
God damn congress.
No Harry, you didn't raise the bar too high, you refused to even try to make the jump. If you jump and don't make it, you don't make it. That doesn't mean your response should be to LOWER THE BAR to the point the other side does.
We don't just need to get rid of the schmucks who pulled the previous colossal scams, we also need to get rid of the geldings like Harry.
