(28,552 posts).. and look where that has gotten us. Just look. Stop sugar coating everything and LOOK AT WHERE THE COUNTRY IS RIGHT NOW.
DADT doesn't feed people. We'd have been out of Iraq regardless because there is nothing else we can do there. The ACA is less of an achievement in terms of transfer of wealth than Medicare part D. Our president is presiding over the worst surveillance state in the history of mankind. We still have GITMO. We still have a DEMOCRATIC party talking about cutting SS and/or Medicare. We have a president so NOT in control of things that a handful of losers almost put us in default. At LEAST he didn't cave for once so there is that.
I would love to see a Dem house and maybe we'll get one someday. But if you were remotely honest with yourself or clued in, you would realize that it probably wouldn't have made much difference, because half-measures like the ACA and grand bargain are WHAT OBAMA ACTUALLY WANTS.
You are the one dishing hyperbole.
