Reply #67: Where's your positive attitude? They are screwed, not us! [View All]

Continuing the war with a blank check for Bush is also not supported by the majority. But the GOP won't cave in, as you advocate for us. In fact, if you ask the public do they think we should give Bush $X billion with no strings attached, they will overwhelmingly say no way! But Bush and the GOP won't give an inch, as you advocate for our side to do.

We are not the ones in a weak position with the public, BUSH and the GOP are. And they know it. Which (in my opinion) is why they are constantly laughing at how weak and politically incompetent our party has been over the past 6-8 years. And your type of thinking is what they have been laughing about.

All is lost for them. They are screwed, and have no credibility left to fight us with. And after all that, every option to stand up against them is referred to as a 'magic wand' by you. No wonder they are laughing!

Final point: Some here seem obsessed with where the polls are today. I have an idea: Since we know we're right, let's take our case to the public and start moving those poll numbers in our favor. It'll take some courageous public statements from some courageous elected officials. Few seem to be willing to take a stand anywhere outside of what's already popular. That's not leadership.
