Grow A Pair Democrats

I can’t believe what is going on in the key leadership of the Democratic party. Are they even speaking to each other or the administration? It's not very lady-like of me to say but someone has to say it; it’s time for the party to grow a pair.

The Democrats are sitting around shrugging their shoulders at what is going on. They give intellectual reasons for their policies but fail to sell it emotionally to the American voter. They are far too busy explaining things and agreeing that issues are complicated rather than selling it. We all know that good policies will help the very people that are throwing fits and attending tea parties. Attempting to reason with them is like trying to reason with a rabid dog. Give credit where credit is due. Repubs stay on message and make sure it’s emotionally appealing. Republican propaganda is winning.

The Obama administration allowed certain Democrats and Repubs to stall healthcare and play around while the administration played nice. It’s time to stop playing nice. The obstructionist party will never negotiate. The Republicans would strangle and drown their own grandmother if it meant they could keep any Obama policy from going through.

Democrats should not wait for Brown to come in. It’s time take off the gloves and pass what small shreds of this bill are left in the next two weeks. As is the bill will still improve access to healthcare for millions of Americans even if they aren’t paying any attention anymore.

Once that is done the administration can invest real political capital in what Americans care about right now; Jobs.
