Congressional Dems are scared of Bush

[ECH1969]

You can see it clear as day when they are doing interviews. They are afraid of going up against Bush, which is why they couldn't get the backbone to really try to stop Alito. Its why they have backed off on the NSA wiretapping. It is also way Bush is going to get a resolution to use force against Iran passed by Congress in the next couple months as well as the Patriot Act renewed.

Congressional dems seem to be split into three camps. One that rolls over for Bush, one that bends over for him, and one that acutally fights.

3. They're secretly smitten with *

They'll tell us that he's the worst thing ever, but truly are in love with the man.

(and if that doesn't make you want to :puke: I don't know what will)

[ECH1969]

6. yup

[Doctor_J]

4. Yep

even with his lousy approval rating, we can now expect the spying scandal, the abramoff scandal, the iran resoultion, the budget, and the patriot act to go his way. TIme to start looking for a place in Europe.

5. They either roll over or bend over

8. Congressional REPUBLICANS are the ones scared of Bush

dems are going to tap into the huge disapproval of Bush, and use him as a cudgel against the GOP!

They're running this great new ad tomorrow on Fox:

9. So that is why they are rolling over on the filibuster

and everything else that matters.

17. not true

factually not true! :bounce:

11. Yep. The GOP are scared to death of this idiot.

But they will be bitten for this support. Women voters especially will show their disapproval. Not only did he appoint Judges who wish to deny women's rights, but W also is cutting social programs to our most needy.

10. I think they just know how underhanded the **'s are.

Who wouldn't be afraid. You're taking your life in your own hands.

14. Oh shit. They all have security protection!

That's just a BS excuse in my mind!

[napi21]

12. No, they're afraid of their own shadow!!!!

I posted something like this on another thread, but we were at level 5 so I can't find it now, but....

I'm a female, grew up in a suburban town north of Pgh. Pa. and was really a naive idiot when I entered the business world, but EVEN I learned to fight back when you're right!

There's NOTHING wrong with using the word LIER, and CROOK, when it's the truth!!!!!

I can't imagine where our Dems grew up, or how they got to the US Senate without learning some street smarts!

All I can remember of their actions from the last year are appologies!

Damn it, if you're right, say what you mean, and don't back off!

I have the political experience of my dog, but I could knock any of these guys out with words on the Senate floor!!!

For God sake, Dean should haul them all in for training classes!!!!

[Erika]

15. Yep, they act like they are afraid to take the gloves off n/t

[NCarolinawoman]

16. That is why I support Hackett.

We need an infusion of new blood. We need fighters, whether they be Vets or not.

[napi21]

18. I agree! I think that's why he got so much support from many on DU

when he was running in Ohio! The scary thing is, will he know how to deal with what his Pub opponent is going to try to do to him in a Senatorial election? Remember what they did to Dean and Kerry!!!!!

19. I see I am not the only one who was thinking anthrax. If the dems

had any spine at all the would be screaming at the Bu$h administration every single day. Why has Osama not been caught like you promised? Where is the anthrax killer whose trail stops at a military base? What do you say little Mr. Commander in Thief? But no the Dems want to be Repuke lite so bad they cannot hound him about anything. They are almost as disgraceful as he is.
