Now that your fellow Progressive holds the seat &#8211; it is time to EXPAND and Move the Goal posts before you can expect to receive delivered benefits.</p><p>Thus, I surmise &#8211; THE PURGING OF EVIL, RACIST REPUBLICANS FROM YOUR MIDST has NOT lead to the BOUNTIFULNESS THAT YOU WERE SOLD ON ELECTION NIGHT.</p><p>All it does is sets up the next campaign where your ideology is expanded to the next plateau of government control.  You will look past the present MAYOR&#39;S failings and support the governor.</p><p>The WORST POSSIBLE scenario for the PROGRESSIVE is to BE IN CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT and thus lose all of your ENEMIES to direct your blame upon.  While you all like speaking TRUTH TO POWER you don&#39;t like speaking &#8220;TRUTH TO PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE IN POWER&#8221;.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: Constructive_Feedback</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/01/members-cheer-vote-at-gop-retreat/comment-page-1/#comment-132946</link> <dc:creator>Constructive_Feedback</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 09:28:15 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/?p=7117#comment-132946</guid> <description>[quote]Real nice.

It seems to me that for Republicans bipartisanship means caving into their demands with little regard for anything else.  I agree that there are things in the bill that are pork but you have to come together to work those things out.  Didn&#039;t the Dems add more tax cuts to appease the GOP? And if you think you can get the economy going without spending then you are living in a dream world.  We had eight years of failed tax policies and the GOP is largely responsible.  We are in this mess because of the mishandling of the economy by Bush with the help of the congressional Republicans and they get to stand on the sidelines and cheer while our economy continues to flounder.  They are angling for 2010 and hoping just like their buddy Rush that it fails and they can retake the House and bragging rights.  They care nothing for the country and are only concerned with their petty political fights.  Yet, do any of them plan to turn down the federal funds that will be trickling into their districts?  I highly doubt it.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#39;s see if the media reports this rather than trying to act like bi-partisanship failed on the part of the Dems.
