Damn straight

We've been told that elections have consequences...but apparently that isn't so when Democrats win them.

Republican obstructionism on judicial nominations and vacancies to oversight organizations like the NLRB has virtually reached the point of absurdity.  We've held the Senate and the Presidency since 2008 and there are still an inordinate amount of vacancies on the courts.  The NLRB will soon be unable to do its job because of a lack of board members due to republicans filibustering President Obama's nominees.

Harry Reid is threatening to change the Senate rules (again) so that nominees can pass with a simple majority (this is what we call a democracy, for our less than bright republican friends), but it appears his margin of victory is so thin its anorexic.  Nice then that Larry Cohen, President of the Communication Workers of America, is threatening Democrats who do not support this with both a complete loss of support and primaries from candidates who actually care about the American people.

One hates to reach a point where we sound like republican fanatics, and even though we are the party of the big tent, we have to have bare minimum support from our Congresspersons on the core principles of our party.  As Mr. Cohen states, without that support such Congresspersons are worthless to us.

Even worse, it makes it so republicans don't have to win elections--they can merely obstruct, obstruct, obstruct, and any hope for making life better for the working men and women of America fades like the setting sun.

Democracy destroyed.
