My Fellow DUers, My Fellow Dems, My Fellow Prgsvs ... WE AIN"T GOT SHIT [View All]

[Stinky The Clown]

We really don't.have.shit ...... We have nothing.

N o t h i n g ..... Nada ......... Diddly Squat.

Well ..... we still have the filibuster ... for what? Another week?

And yet, in the face of this absolute and total fucking lack of power, we bitch, we scream, we scowl, we howl, we yell, we yelp, we bray, we scream ........ and we skewer. OOOOOH do we skewer.

We eat our own.

This (dem) guy said that, so the gays hate him. That (dem) woman said this, so the antiwarriors hate her. The whole Senate voted, just today, for Real ID. Out with them all, damn DINOs. I know we all hate them so much we want them ridden out of town on a duly tarred and feathered rail. This (dem) congressperson is lower than whale shit. That (dem) senator can suck my shorts, we say.

People, what would *you* have us do?

Yeah ... the 06 local elections. Terrific. We win a few mayor seats in 20,000 population towns. We get a governor's seat here, and secretary of state's seat there.

So what?

Face it .... we ain't got shit. We're more out of power than Hirohito in '45.

So what's next? **Please** tell me what's next.

I'm feeling more and more hopeless each day. I try not to. I'm by nature so 'up' they call me Pollyanthony (a play on 'Pollyanna', not a sexual proclivity, okay?). I had hope when that guy in East Waynesville got his clock cleaned by his own parishioners. But what did that really do? I had hope when they blew out that memo in the UK. But what did that really do?

So many, many, many times I've had hope ....... feh .... fuck it.

Maybe the next time we do that classic ritual of Democratic politics ... the circular firing squad ... we do the kindest thing we could do to each other ... ritualistically aim for the head or the heart. No teasing by just winging 'em, okay?

So again I ask the amassed brain trust here on DU ..... what would **you** have us do?
