The Democratic majority's first six months ended badly. Your suggestions for the rest of 2007.

[brentspeak]

I've got some suggestions -- including efforts to counteract the local RW media which hounds Blue Dog Democrats in their districts -- but I'd first like to read some of yours'.

[TechBear_Seattle]

1. Nullify the 2006 election and try again?

Oh, if only....

[brentspeak]

2. Upset that the GOP didn't retain the majority, I take it?

[Ghost in the Machine]

3. We voted for CHANGE

so far, the only thing that has changed is the (R) to a (D) behind the names... still have the same rubberstamping going on...

Maybe they should spend their vacations getting a spine transplant

5. I didn't know the GOP was the one holding hearings in Congress

Who would have known?

[TechBear_Seattle]

7. I didn't know the Democrats supported totalitarianism and the occupation of Iraq

Looking at Congress, one would think such was the case. And silly thought those were Republick agenda items.

[Beelzebud]

11. What was the result of those hearings? More power for Gonzo.

Great job...

[EFerrari]

25. Are they a wrap yet? I thought this was just the 7th inning? nt

[bluedog]

6. do you remember .we thought we'd never take the senate?

we were pretty sure about the house.but the senate?.....no...we didn't think it possible in 06.

we have only been in power 6 months. change takes time.......and everything the Congress does come out with .bush threatened to veto..we have yet to get a veto proof majority.......

thats my reasoning for what its worth.

[brentspeak]

18. Thank you. Some sanity.

[Madspirit]

23. Yeah because anyone who doesn't agree with you is clearly insane...NOT

:rofl:

[radfringe]

8. I would suggest their time during the august recess would be best spent

at a clinic getting balls attached and a spine inserted

[EFerrari]

9. Please keep working on election reform because crooked elections

shave our vote and cost us seats.

[Marrah_G]

14. Always a breath of sanity

[EFerrari]

21. We more or less know where they try to steal -- we learned

the hard way. Election protection has to be ramped up in 08!

The ER forum tried to watch vulnerable districts in the midterms and with some success, too. This is one place where we can make a difference!

[brentspeak]

19. Agreed, 1000%

[EFerrari]

22. Cool! We agreed on something!

:woohoo:

:hi:

[brentspeak]

28. Yup!

:hi:

[mmonk]

10. Weed those that support bush/Cheney, lies, and dictatorship

out. They are bush's forward wall.

[EFerrari]

12. I'm stuck with Feinstein. No one will challenge her if she runs again

and that isn't for years. :(

[mmonk]

13. We should challenge where we can.

It's not going to be possible everywhere though. We need to interest democrats in running some new challenges IMO.

[EFerrari]

15. Agree. We have a window of Rightwing Fatigue

and we should use it!

[Bitwit1234]

16. Hound the Blue Dog Democrats or should I say republicans.

[brentspeak]

20. I think we should also help the Blue Dogs

Apparently, the local RW talk show idiots hold a disproportionate amount of influence in Blue Dog districts. There's gotta be a way to nullify that influence.

[followthemoney]

17. Hold a press conference to explain why they supported Bush...

and show their torture marks on their backs and genitals applied by Gonzo.

[BuyingThyme]

24. New leadership.

[harun]

26. House Needs to Pass H.R. 676

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HR676

They do that and even if it gets a veto I will take all the bad things I said about them back forever :-). Well, at least if they keep fighting for it.

It would send the message to the American people that the Dem's are going to fight for Health Care and not just for profits, like the other side.

[brentspeak]

27. Thank you, another good idea

:thumbsup:

Now hopefully Pelosi and Reid will remember who FDR was, and get back to New Deal-type basics.
