Why is Senator Lugar going after Bush? WTF are the Dems doing besides nothing? Why do we keep electing these people if we have to rely on the other party to speak up?

WHY DO WE KEEP ELECTING DEMS THAT KISS BUSH'S ASS?


Don't even mention Daschle, he's weak, ineffective and will lose his Senate seat.

1. ain't that the truth! n/t

2. I've wondered that same thing myself.

It sure as shit doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy.

3. Repubs have the power. We don't.

All we can do is complain. They have the power to act.

4. I have to "third" that emotion...

... I can understand why, a year ago, Dems held back and played it diplomatic.

But at this point I think there is enough general understanding by the public that even the most timid Dem should be able to be critical.

So far, few have. I was heartened by Pelosi's comments, and her refusal to retract them. She has more cojones than the sum of half the men in Congress. It is just pathetic. We have to get rid of these milquetoasts.

5. The dems say plenty, they just don't get the coverage eom

6. My opinion......

... is that is only part true. Pelosi's comments were widely dissemenated because they were blunt and unequivocal.

Simpering half-assed critiques don't get airplay because they have no "entertainment" value and nobody wants to hear them.

7. Why get in the middle of a GOP vs GOP fight? Let them have at it...

...because it makes them look disorganized and split on the issues.

8. Whine: we're too w e a k to do anything...

...we've fallen and we can't get up. We'd like to do something but we have to wash our hair. Our hands are tied because the GOPers are mean and they've cut out our tongues. We're in the minority and we don't want to look 'partisan' by defending America.

- Blah, blah, blah. Dem apologists make me wanna hurl and are no better than Bush* apologists.

9. Because Republicans control our entire

government - to include the Courts - so it will take the Republicans to speak out. I have to believe (want to believe) that some of the Republicans are getting scared for our Country. They should have gotten scared a long time ago. Berstein spoke about this on a couple of shows a few days ago.

10. Gosh ,

why would you have it otherwise. Republicans infighting is wonderful! Let them fragment. Let them infight. Cheap rhetoric and theatrics ala Dean failed. It might make you feel better but this is not what wins. Republicans are falling apart, their coalition is over. .
