Cenk said, "On the one had, Democrats will keep telling you that they can't get anything passed in this Congress because the Republicans have 41 Senators that they can filibuster any legislation with. On the other hand, the Republicans will now get this telecom immunity passed through Congress. So, do the Democrats not have 41 Senators, so they can block this bill? Of course they do. They just don't have the nerve. They are collaborators."

The question is why do Republicans stand together and the Democrats don't? Because the Democrats don't stand for anything.  Here's where Lakoff is 100% correct. The Democrats do not have a coherent political philosophy much less a cognitive strategy.  They have a big hole in their center.

The Democratic leaders have never cared who belongs to their party.  If they embraced Lieberman and Hoyer as Democrats you know they don't stand for anything. 

Its all about power, noting about principle or policy.
