26 Senate Dems Announce: "We Want Obama to Fail"

Because make no mistake, that's exactly what these fuckers are saying.

It was probably never gonna happen, but now it's official. Climate change legislation will not be passed through the budget reconciliation process. The Johanns amendment, which explicitly prevents such a move, just passed on a 67-31 vote. We'll get you a roll call when it's available, including the names of the significant number of Democrats who voted with the GOP. Expect to find the usual suspects on that list. And more!

The full list of President Obama-hating, repug-fellating wastes of oxygen is below, but before you read at least one name that will break liberal hearts, consider this: Karl Rove recently accused President Obama of using "Chicago tactics" against members of Congress, including Democrats. Steve M thoroughly nails the idiocy of that accusation, but I think there's untapped potential here.

Let's see some real they-pull-a-knife-we-pull-a-gun tactics against the cowards and obstructionists pretending to be Democrats. If President Obama doesn't start twisting arms and threatening primary challenges and holding legislation hostage, then what the fuck is Rahm Emmanuel there for, anyway?

Meanwhile, here's the list of "Democratic" senators who'd rather sacrifice the last chance we may have to slow runaway global climate change than inconvenience the repug minority.
