And I say it's all right

Not a bad few days for the good guys... Do I have the coolest Senator or what? I heard Senator Levin say "shitty" at least five times. Do I think this was done to get people's attention? You betcha! But if there's a word a good chunk of the American public understands, it's "shitty." Some smart and talented son of bitch ought to do one of those will.i.am type videos for this.... Could the Dems be developing cojones? This strategy is actually brilliant--though somebody should be running all kinds of national ads on the Repugs voting against financial reform again and again. Just beat it into Americans' brains: Dems against big banks, Republicans for. Not only that, unlike healthcare reform, they have a real chance to make it even stronger--bonus! Amidst all the blather about the Dems getting crushed in November, I've often had the same thoughts as Digby mentions here (which is why she's Digby and I'm just a putz from Michigan). In the end, Democrats are going to vote for Democrats, Republicans are going to vote for Republicans, and Independents will have to make a choice. While I'm sure some will opt for change for the sake of change, I'd imagine there's a greater number who are going to ask, "Just what am I going to get for this vote?" and when they look at the record (Republicans zero ideas, total lack of bipartisanship) may have their doubts. And let's not forget that Republicans racism is the gift that keeps on giving. One supposes if they're happy enough to lose 90% of the African-American vote, they must be shooting for similar numbers in the Latino vote. Well done (white) gentlemen! Not sure I understand this post's logic at all. Frankly, the people making comments seemed to be much more perceptive than the poster--unless it's one of those Chicken Little warnings to scare Dems into giving more money and getting out to vote.... What the fuck? I mean seriously, what the fuck? Because what America really needs is drunks carrying guns. Can we please make sure the people introducing this bill never get anywhere near a .38 and a beer? Adding stupid to the mix spells disaster. Peace, emaycee
