Eh. Truth is Democrats screw themselves over. I've been joking that whether I agree with Republicans or not, they know how to get things done.
Say the goal is to pass a bill to give all Americans a red balloon. Americans have been polled and say 57-71% agree that every American needs a red balloon, despite their ideology.
You put 3 Dems in a room:
1. Will think the red balloon idea is great. 2. Will think that Americans really need blue balloons. 3. Will argue whether or not Americans even need balloons.
They'll all vote differently. Nothing will pass. Or if it does it won't resemble the original red balloon for all Americans idea.
Republicans in a room:
All of them might disagree but if it's settled that Americans (even if there are a sizable number that disagree) need red balloons they are going to vote for red balloons, dang it!
And there is no way there were 1.6 million people during the tea parties in D.C. I watched most of Fox's coverage and C-Span's and Fox New's own Glenn Beck put it at tens of thousands.
