A group of 15 to 20 democratic moderates in the senate are forming a loose coalition to focus on deficit reduction and fiscal responsibility.
Rachel Maddow is very upset about this, because how dare anyone have a dissenting opinion. Rachel has showed us tonight that everyone has to agree with her or she gets very upset. She’s now making fun of the whole concept of fiscal responsibility.
This doesn’t mean these people will be voting with the republicans, although Rachel is trying to scare us into thinking that. It doesn’t mean they’re going to hold up democratic legislation. It just means they are coming together to help push their moderate purpose into that democratic legislation.
We saw what happened when the republicans didn’t have any moderation. Do we want that to happen to the democrats? Apparently Rachel thinks that it’s a good idea for the democrats to be as extreme and one sided as the republicans. Luckily, some people feel differently. And those people will keep recent democratic converts from switching back to the other side.
