Hey Democrats, Time to crank up the outrage!
Remember the squealing republicans when after millions of dollars and a corrupt independent prosecutor finaly found something they could hang on Clinton. The sound was deafening!

Now what we have is absolute proof that Karl Rove lied to the press secretary and the american people about his involvement in leaking classified information on a matter of national security.

If this were a democratic administration the roar would again be deafening, but I am having trouble even hearing whispers!

I know we have the usual critics, Boxer, Conyers, Kennedy but where the hell is Hillary, Biden, and the rest? These people should be demanding answers every goddamn day! There are over 2000 american dead! The administration is in a shambles, The religious right is once again demanding we give them want they want, they do not give a rats ass about what the majority of Americans want, and the corporate elite are waging a brutal class war that is going cause grave harm to americans in the not do distant future.

I am outraged about the lack of outrage!

1. Hillary will never be any help. Biden is republican lite. Except for the
three you mentioned, the rest are busy padding their own nests, Kerry included.

so they can come to work at the DLC.

3. Where are any Democrats with spine?
There are none.

And this is why our country will remain in the control of those thugs, why they'll continue to get away with everything they want, why our children and grandchildren will pay the price for all their mischief, and why we, as Democrats and lefties, are screwed beyond belief.

It's all going to go away as if it never happened, including Libby's indictment. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm powerfully tempted to include here the phrase "Mark my words."

I really hope I'm wrong, but I smell "Presidential pardon."

4. don't forget Waxman, Jackson Lee, McKinney and Waters
But yes, I think this "give them enough rope" tactic is not good enouigh, we need to show that there is alternative voice... but if there are no voices... people will jsut think Democrats are all about taking it and not the party of the people.

6. The Democrats are just as nervous as the Republicans are with...
...Fitzgerald snooping around Washington. The entire political system is corrupt. There may be enough indictments to choke a horse when this is all over with.

For someone who hates political corruption the way I know Fitzgerald does he must feel like a kid in a candy store in D.C. Its everywhere he looks.

The Dem's, Repug's, and media, all had a great thing going in Washington at our expense. Now there is a chance that may all be coming to an end for all of them.

The Dem's want Fitzgerald to pack up his tent and come back here to northern Illinois just as much as the Republicans do. And he might just do that? And then again he might not? If I had to guess I would say not.
