"Uninformed" Democrats (Update)

Breaking: Republican Senator to Unemployed: "Tough Sh*t."
by Verbalpaintball
Excerpt:
Jim Bunning, a Republican from Kentucky, is single-handedly blocking Senate action needed to prevent an estimated 1.2 million American workers from prematurely losing their unemployment benefits next month.

And
The only thing that frustrates me - continuously, relentlessly - is the democrats inability to capitalize on these kind of telling statements from Republicans.

I want to use this diary to express my long time frustrations in feeling most Democrats simply do not know what they are doing in the House or Senate. I can live with that but it seems there would be a core group of Democrats they can go to who can quickly advise them how to resolve what appears to me a simple situation.

As seen on the tape, Sen. Jim Bunning repeatedly stands on the floor of the Senate blocking a resolution extending un-employment payments to people for a mere thirty days.

Further, it seems to me there would be a group of Democrats ready to spring into action with whatever procedural strategy is needed to nullify Sen. Bunning's objections. Although the procedure may not be a simple one as I envision, nevertheless, somebody should at least know what the procedure is. Call for a “quorum” or go into a Hissy fit but do something until they can find out what to do and do it! Damn!!

More than anything, it is incompetence in one’s own field that pisses me off the most!
As always,
BB

And
democratic party and the corporados
by Lenny Flank
Excerpt:
Many people here, of course, will simply not believe that the corporados are ruthlessly nonpartisan and own Dem asses just as much as they own Repug asses, simply because they don't want to believe it. I know that an awful lot of us would feel lots better inside if we could pretend that the big bad corporations are always behind the evil Repugs, while we poor but brave Dems valiantly fight them alone with our army of small donors.  But alas, reality says otherwise.  And reality always wins. One thing I noticed from 20 years of creationist-fighting, however, is that ideologues of all sorts are only "skeptical" about things they don't want to believe anyway.
