About: Laurel is perhaps better known as the current Editor in Chief for SexIs Magazine. Most of what she writes for EdenCafe tends to be ranty, liberal, political diatribes, but she hopes if you’re not, at least, entertained, she’s at least inspired you to think critically on a topic and not just accept the Fox News sound bite as fact. She’s a writer, editor, graphic designer, amateur photographer, single mother and former political hack. While she gave up working in the world of politics, she’s never been able to get rid of her passion for debate and ranting on and on about politicians, policy, government and the media who cover them.See Authors Posts (17)

Dear Democratic Congress:

What the hell is your problem? No, I mean seriously? Stop being a such a bunch of pussies and govern, for fucks sake. We need you to start acting like you own the place. Because in case you haven’t noticed, you OWN THE PLACE!

And based on your performance so far, y’all got about 11 months left before the GOP evicts you and gets on with their own bullshit agenda.

Let me clarify something for you, in case you were unaware. You have a majority that hasn’t been seen by either party in over 20 years and you are acting like the fucking minority party. You STILL let the GOP bully you.

You have a 59-41 Senate majority and yet you are ready to throw in the towel on health care reform because the GOP can filibuster?

You know what? Let them. Let them act like babies and throw tantrums on the Senate floor for days, weeks, months even, if they like. This will appeal to their base, for sure. Their people will love them for it.

But independent and swing voters will see it for what it is, a shut down of the government’s ability to do it’s work according to the agenda of the voters who sent you all to Washington. If they bring Congress to a halt, it will bite them in the ass in November (at least among thinking voters). And even if they get their way in the end, at least you tried. At least you didn’t get down on all fours and bare your ass…

Start fighting for us, dammit. It’s why we hired you. Do not play fair, do not take the high road. We do not need you to act like redeemable human beings, we need you to WIN. Seriously, start using their playbook. Hire some people to get some shots of the GOP in compromising positions with monkeys or something…anything. For fucks sake, we all think you cheat and play dirty, so..yanno…get a little MUDDY, break a rule or twenty!*

Let me be clear: YOU ARE FAILING US.

You have more power in your hands now than you’ve hand in a generation and you are letting it sit and rot. Why?

Grow some balls and be leaders. The desperate situation this nation is in regarding the health care system and our economy demands it. We need your help and we sent you, the Democrats, to Congress because we couldn’t stand where the GOP had taken us. We want what you sell, not what they’ve got. I think we’ve made that clear. There is nothing more we can do except wait on you to do your FUCKING jobs.

So what on God’s Green Earth are you waiting for?
