Where the HELL are the Democrats?






Friends,

I’ve asked this question before. Now I’m SHOUTING it.

Where the HELL are the Democrats?

It should be the Democrats’ moment — the time when Democrats are everywhere, on everyone’s lips, in everyone’s eyes.

But Democrats are nowhere. AWOL. Almost invisible.

They’re squandering this opportunity.

Can you imagine a more important moment for Democrats to sound the alarm? At the request of a Republican president, the richest person in the world is taking a sledgehammer to Social Security, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs, the entire Department of Education, and much else that Americans need and want.

He’s doing all this so the president can give a huge tax cut to the wealthiest members of our society and the biggest corporations in America.

Worse, the president chose this man for this job because he sank a quarter of a billion dollars into getting the president elected. And this man, already one of the government’s biggest contractors, is salivating over the prospect of turning even more of government into his or other corporate hands.
