Democrats: Stop Apologizing!
(This issue can't get enough attention, because apparently they aren't getting the message)

"...Nancy Pelosi did it again. One more apology on a stack of endless apologies from Democrats. Please stop being so damn weak. It's embarrassing to look at..."

1. They keep backing down on everything
Won't take a stand and keep it. My attitude in dealing with repukes is simple.
"There are certain types that you must step on THEIR toes until they apologize."

2. The Dems need to stop apologizing, and start demanding apologies from the GOP!
After all, the Republicans have wrought upon us:

- A war based on lies
- Almost 4,000 dead troops
- Tens of thousands of incapacitated troops
- An incredible deficit
- High gas prices
- High medical prices
- A devalued dollar
- Unchecked corporate corruption
- Treason
- Rampant cronyism
- Questionable elections
- A politicized Justice Dept.
- Multiple sex scandals
- Ignored warnings prior to 9/11/01
- Failure to protect and respond to Hurricane Katrina
- Failure to adequately protect our troops in Iraq
- Multiple infractions against the Constitution
- Blocked important legislation in Congress
- Promoted and supported bigotry and discrimination

So, the Dems need to just shut the fuck up and allow time for the Republicans to start apologizing for these SERIOUS issues.

Is it any wonder Congress has such low approval ratings? Get a clue, guys.

3. Are you kidding? A Democrat with a spine? Surely you jest. If the Rethugs weren't worse..
I'd jump ship. Its downright embarassing to be 'represented' with a bunch of spineless cowards.

4. If
If they were spineless, how could they bow their heads so often?

5. being spineless allows them to pray with their head in their asses. They never have to bow.

6. K & R, but I am not sure the Democratic Leadership WANTS to stop enabling

After all, they're rich, too and no Real People (the top 3% or so in Imperial Amerika) want to see the Filthy Little Nobodies running wild.

As any French Aristocrat from the 1780s could tell you, the Filthy Little Nobodies are little more than animals that need to be controlled and do not benefit from elevated living standards the same way Real People do.

I believe this is now the way that many of America's Ruling Class now feels about the rest of us.
