We Better Damn Well Blame EVERYTHING on the Repubs Now!!

[DemocracyInaction]

One thing that was a little bit of a disappointment to me in this campaign was that the Dems still were silent about who was screwing Americans---like, in the fact that the whole damn government was under the control of the Republicans. We went after Bush but rarely pointed out what REPUBLICAN majorities were doing. If this party goes back into a mode of 'silence' they can forget '06 and '08 and elections as far as the eye can see. They need to pound the media day and night about everything the Republicans propose, pass and implement. And they need to wake up and realize that one half of this nation IS NOT INTERESTED in crap about kissing, making up and going along with these republicans. In fact if they don't, it would probably make more sense to join the Republican Party and work to destroy it from the inside or at least get rid of the right wing lunatic candidates since our party won't attack them. Our party has to realize that great damage was done because of the years of silence and that more of it will bring them nothing but defeat in the future. They can't start yelping just at election time. They need a Dean-like "in your face" for the next 4 years.

2. teevee--that's right...What do they have to lose (excuse the pun)

They tried it the nice way for three years and they had to fight for every damn inch of turf in this election. The republicans painted us day and night for YEARS as dirty, evil liberals. We have to point fingers all the way to the next elections AND we have to offer real opposition. Perhaps they didn't point fingers the last few years because too many of them were in bed with the GOP. It's either stand for something and point out to the people day and night how we stand FOR the people and not the corporations and vote accordingly in the Congress, or no one is going to listen to them at voting time.
