Molly Ivans tells it. ENOUGH with the Cowardly Lion Dems

[jonnyo]

Thank Molly and forward this article to your "Democratic Leaders and Reps"

"What kind of courage does it take, for mercy's sake? The majority of the American people (55 percent) think the war in Iraq is a mistake and that we should get out. The majority (65 percent) of the American people want single-payer health care and are willing to pay more taxes to get it. The majority (86 percent) of the American people favor raising the minimum wage. The majority of the American people (60 percent) favor repealing Bush's tax cuts, or at least those that go only to the rich. The majority (66 percent) wants to reduce the deficit not by cutting domestic spending, but by reducing Pentagon spending or raising taxes.

The majority (77 percent) thinks we should do "whatever it takes" to protect the environment. The majority (87 percent) thinks big oil companies are gouging consumers and would support a windfall profits tax. That is the center, you fools. WHO ARE YOU AFRAID OF?" -- Molly Ivans

1. Whoo-hoo!

It's very simple, really, but then when you try to make it simple, the media lies and confuses the issues. Take what happened with the Washingon Compost newspaper this week.

2. Unfortunately, the majority isn't still the majority at the polls.

Setting vote fraud aside, many people who have opinions don't bother to exercise their franchise.

5. I wish we could set aside vote fraud forever. The Dems clearly won the

in 04. , and 00. We have been taken over by the mob.

3. No use waiting on a bunch of wussy politicians...

.......What matters here is not what the Republicans or the Democrats do -- it's what you do before November. Sit up, join up, stir it up, get online, get in touch, find out who's raising hell and join them. No use waiting on a bunch of wussy politicians................

7. "Everybody does it."

"You can't find a mother who will let her 5-year-old get away with that, but politicians often whip it out as though it held moral water."


Boy isn't that the truth. I think it also pertains to how these people act.

17. Well, we all know why the Dems aren't saying any of this don't we?

If they say that kind of stuff NOW they won't get the $$ from the business community. They can't win without the $$. Or at least that's what they think!
