    It should read: OBAMA HAS TOO MANY BAD IDEAS. ;-)
    There, now it makes sense.

    What must it feel like for Republicans to have to watch an administration
    that is actually not torturing, not giving every cent to corporate interests,
    cares whether people get good health care and are not discriminated against because of
    sexual orientation, doesn’t want to bully every sovereign nation, destroy the Constitution,
    or set up a shadow government that listens in on Americans phone calls while reading their emails and thinking of other ways to take the rest of their rights away?

    I give you what all good Republicans want– right joaquin?—to have everyone subjugated unless of course it is personal–i.e.—involves them and their families.

    When Republicans get an idea–then they can call Obama’s ideas bad ones.
    But I don’t think that will be happening any time soon. . . . .

    To be fair, McConnell’s point wasn’t that there are to many ideas, but that they lacked “cohesion”. You want to go after him for being wrong on that, have at it. Show how it all fits together.

    But any third grade class can come up with lots of ideas for things. Doesn’t mean the submarine that also flies, a force field that can make you look like anyone, etc are practical.

    Nope, sticking with my answer. And it seems the DNC spokesperson agrees with me;

    “I guess when you have no new ideas, anything more than zero must seem overwhelming. But, if the Republican party thinks that attacking new ideas is a winning answer, they’re more out of touch than we all thought. Now is a time when we could use all the good ideas we can get — and we invite the Republican party to offer some new ones rather than playing the same old Washington games. They can start by putting out their own budget proposal.”

    Even if the point is cohesion, as Sen. Sanders pointed out on Real Time this week, everything is economic. Both health care and climate change can be viewed as economic problems, for instance. That’s just one common thread; I’m sure there are more.

    Someone (may even have been you, Parthenon?) made the point in another thread that Republican’s seem to have difficulty stringing issues together, seeing the connections. They see some don’t have health insurance, they see that people get sick, they see that that some people lose their houses. But they don’t see the connection that inadequate health care leads to the sickness that drained the bank accounts that mean the mortgages don’t get paid (so nobody lives in the house that Jack built).

    But my point here is that THAT is how to respond to McConnell et al. They there IS cohesion. That they can’t see it. And that that is their failing. Don’t fall down to their intellectual level and incorrectly claim that their complaint is simply they’re saying “too many ideas”.
