Where are the Democrats?
Why are they allowing this to happen?


When Bush had his soldiers drag the bodies of Ootie and Cootie thru the streets of Baghdad,
were the Baghdadians in the street dancing and rejoicing? If so, I missed that. I'm sure the
"Bush is the greatest president ever" American press would be wall-to-wall with those
pictures IF that scenario played out in the streets of Baghdad, so what does that tell us?

I know some non-thinking knucklehead goof will accuse me of being pro-Ootie and Cootie when
I say this, but imagine what it would feel like if some superpower invaded America without provocation
and for no goddamn reason other than to steal the oil in Texas and then corner and then murder the
president's children and put their bodies on Invader-controlled TV to brag about it.

Somehow, I don't think we'd be dancing if some bully superpower did that to us under the guise
of "freeing" us so they could set up our new government in their image and have appointed evil
oil men tell us what kind of government we're allowed to choose for ourselves.

Realize this is our government that's doing this, and the entire world is both angry
and scared as they wonder which country Bush will turn his blood-thirty attention towards next

Our government is out of control and killing whomever they want, and they don't need
a reason or any justification because our military is the most powerful military in the world.
Our government is controlled my a little boy who sees non-white people as frogs
that he gets to blow up with firecrackers that are much bigger than the ones he used as a child..

Worse than that, our government is run by a religiously insane man who claims
God spoke to him and gave him a list of the people and countries God wants murdered.

Where are the Democrats?
Why are they allowing this to happen?


John Kerry, what are you waiting for?


Joe Lieberman, what are you waiting for?


Tom Daschle, what are you waiting for?


John Edwards, what are you waiting for?


In 15 months, you're going to ask for our votes.
You're going to have to earn those votes and you need to start NOW!
Why are you waiting? Why are you refusing to do your jobs?

Next summer, you're going to have a stump speech accusing Bush of everything,
but what the hell are you waiting for? I want this war criminal accused today!

How can you ask us for our votes
when you're afraid to come to work?

4. Stop Bush with what -- a silver bullet?
Edited on Tue Jul-29-03 04:34 PM by dolstein
Honestly, how exactly do you propose that the Democrats stop Bush? The Dems are in the minority in the House and the Senate. The are routinely outvoted on party line votes. They can't call hearings, they can't issue subpoenas. In fact, there isn't a heck of a lot the Democrats can do to "stop Bush" as long as the Republicans control Congress. About all they can do is use the filibuster to slow down Bush's agenda.

I certainly hope you weren't one of the left wingnuts who voted for Nader, figuring that if Bush were elected, he'd never get his right-wing agenda through Congress.

6. a start would be having so-called elected DEMS act like DEMs
With 'friends' like Lieberman, Gepthard, etc..

who are Bush enablers, instead of acting like DEMOCRATS,
who needs elections ?

WHY do the DEMS in Congress not walk out like the DEMs in
Texas ?

I'll tell you why -- they are bought off by corporate interests.
AND are too worried about their own sorry asses to stand up
and fight agianst this illegal illegitimate Bush Regime.

JUST HOW MANY DEMs ARE PUBLICALLY CALLING FOR BUSH TO RESIGN ?
JUST HOW MANY DEMS ARE PUBLICALLY CALLING FOR IMPEACHMENT
OF BUSH ?


...just think....DO YOU THINK REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE NOT
IMPEACHED BUSH BY NOW FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE
LAST 2 YEARS ? IF HE HAD BEEN A DEMOCRAT ?

THATS RIGHT -- The Republicans would have already IMPEACHED,
and likely brought CRIMINAL charges for what Bush has done
in the past 2 years -- again, IF Bush was a Democrat.

5. Kerry called for an end to US occupation July 15.
And he called for an independent investigation into Bush's "intel" about 6 weeks ago.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Senator and Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry called for an end to the US occupation of Iraq and criticized the administration's use of now discredited intelligence as a basis for launching the war.
>>>>>>
"We need to get the sense of American occupation over with. We need to protect our troops. And that means that pride should not prevent this administration from going to the United Nations and doing what they should have done in the first place," he declared Wednesday.
Kerry also criticized US President George W. Bush's use in his January 28 State of the Union address of the erroneous claim that Iraq sought to buy nuclear material from Africa.
>>>>>
"Remember the old saying, Harry Truman's saying, 'The buck stops here'? Right now, apparently, the buck stops at Langley (CIA headquarters). And there are a lot of questions about the political input to this intelligence," Kerry told NBC's "Today" show.
"We have to see what happened."
The US senator for Massachusetts, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, also criticized the administration's efforts leading up to the war in Iraq, launched on March 20.
"I made it very clear that their diplomacy leading up to the war was inadequate," Kerry said.
"I said I thought the president should have even done more diplomacy before he went to war. I said to the president, 'Mr. President, don't rush to war. You need to build the large coalition necessary in order to win the peace.'
"And I said very clearly, winning the war was not what was difficult, it's winning the peace," Kerry said. "And I don't think the president put a plan together to do that."

7. The Dems "allow this to happen" because they support most of it.
Except for the small liberal wing of the party, most Democrats have no major problem with what Bush is doing. Most Democrats are Bush's collaborators, some passively; others actively. They might differ with some of his tactics -- but not with his general goals or overall plan.

Note that when Bush got in hot water about the SOTU lie, the Democrats' "great hero" Bill Clinton came along to actively defend Bush, & bail him out of trouble. That says a great deal about the rot in the Democratic Party.
