All Democrats are no different from Republicans. They had a chance to show their support when Al Green was booted. Instead they chose to remain seated holding paddles. Then on the next day they all calmly sat by while 10 of their ranks sided with Republicans to censure Al Green. Despicable.

So if they're going to just lie there's no sense to Democrats giving into them and helping Republicans pass their agenda. Let them own all of their own failures, because if there's "bipartisanship" now the same media will present a recession as a natural occurrence instead of a GOP choice.
