I think the term 'Democrat' has been tarnished

[irancontra]

by complicit, lazy, and spineless so-called Democratic Senators & congress people who have committed illegal actions & who pretend to fight for the people, but instead allow every issue to slide under the giant rug of lost evidence.

I cannot believe we have guys like Biden & Lieberman claiming to be democratic. I cannot believe that being confined to the basement for DSM hearings wasn't the final straw. I cannot believe Kerry conceded that quickly unless he was IN ON THE SCAM. Nor do I believe that any new network will ever bend back towards the TRUTH, as it seems they push back harder on us each time.

I cannot believe that our Democratic leaders have left the 9.11 ISSUE ALONE!!! Where are our leaders? I am really disgusted.

1. I know the word

"republican" IS tarnished.

Yech!

[justinsb]

2. I agree

I don't think that most Americans will ever think of the Dems as the Party of the People again.

3. I was with you, until you

said that "Kerry was in on it." I just don't know how anyone who honestly watched the man campaigning could say that. He killed Bush in all three debates. He called them the crookedest bunch he'd ever seen, when he thought the microphone was off. He made mistakes, but he could've done so much worse if he was "in on it." That is total bullshit and everyone who repeats it is questionable.

5. why is he soooooooooo quiet & unsure?

A guy like Kerry who is so intelligent, capable, surrounded with brilliant minds, and enough money to really make a difference cannot say oh **** is a LIAR? or WHy didn't **** get up from the classroom on 9.11? or NOT CONCEDE THE MORNING AFTER HE PROMISED TO FIGHT!!!??


I stayed up all night praying hoping waiting to see that democracy had beaten the scum & that maybe putting our faith & effort & time (I worked on tons of website stuff, flash things, logos, rallyed, contributed, etc...) as did we all.

HE fucking concedes without so much as a "let's see what happened in OHIO?" and you say that's OK? Then "DSM is too political I can't say anything about that"... THAT's OK?

All I'm saying about JK is that I believed in him and let me down on november 3rd & he continues to do so. Since I believe he really knows what's happening behind the scenes and he fails to expose the truth about certain things (9.11, ohio, dsm, etc..); it implies a sense of criminal complicity in my book. sorry if you think I don't understand the 'adoration of Kerry'. I had it and lost it.

Not to mention.... WE SHOULD LEAVE IRAQ TODAY.

6. FWIW I agree about Iraq.

I don't think my post had anything to do with adoration of Kerry. I do like him. I like clark, and edwards, and durbin and reid. You might as well claim they are in on it, because none of them have done anymore or less than Kerry in calling out this administration.

Kerry didn't know what happened in Ohio when he conceeded. No one did. There were 120,000 uncounted votes and he "lost" by more than that. That is all he knew. The stuff we know about fraud, voter suppression, exit poll changes, etc. all came out later. You can't challenge an election based on a hunch.

It is fair to say that they should be calling Bush Co out more. I agree with that. But no democrats, excepting Dean , the cbc and few other house members are doing that. So they're all complicit in that sense.

4. Ya think?

democracy will soon be phased out of the English Dictionary. The government designed and practiced by Jefferson and his brethren is long gone - it's not of the people, by the people, or for the people.

7. Here's the polish.

Come on go ahead and fix it. With your powerful message you can't lose.

12. Hi bobgreenboston2!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[geckosfeet]

10. Yeah, just like the term republican and conservative has trashed.

I will NEVER be ashamed to call myself liberal, democrat, democratic, progressive or a tree hugger.

Quit yanking yourself and get to work pal.
