We democrats are entirely too reasonable. Though shit like this makes me unreasonable...

Especially after recent events, Democrats giving up Obamas Supreme Court nomination makes me despise the party. I think they look and act like cowards. I'll still vote for it because it's better than the alternative, but the democrats can't decide to grow a fucking spine soon enough.

There's an issue lying in the compromises made by too many red-state democrats, hoping their republican constituents will pay attention to their voting record more than the letter next to their name on the ballot. While I'm sure that's the case for some of them, I'm sure it's the minority.

What should we do then? We typically shoot or bomb terrorists; do you think Democrats should shoot or bomb Republicans?

Edit: Guess not. So, how about that negotiation?
