Will the Democrats cave to Bolton or stand united against him?

Bolton is the poster child for everything that we believe in. Yet, the Democrats, as ussual are reluctant to throw the gauntlet down and fight to the end, win or lose its the fight that counts.

3. There's a third choice
Benign neglect. Because he is such an asshole, he's sorta like Coulter, a great advertisement for having nothing to do with the Repukes. Plus, it's fun watching him getting pimp-slapped over and over at the U.N., then having to crawl to the security council for help when the Bushies fuck up again.

7. Cave - until we stand up and hold our ground we will be seen as wimps
and therefor week and unable to fight for our beliefs let alone "protect America" How many middle americans voted for Bush because he "stood up for his beliefs?

9. They'll cave and announce at the
same time that they intend to save a big battle for when it really matters like when the chimp nominates a rw extremist to the Supreme Court, you know someone like a John Roberts or Samuel Alito....oh, well, never mind then.

We might as well all save ourselves the money and just send rubber stamps to Washington in place of "representatives." Disgusting.

11. Put me down for "Cave." aka "keep our powder dry."
We could be relentlessly pointing out how our cowardly Preznit sneaks his butt-buddies under the wire through recess appointments (and what fun we could have, juxtapositionin' the Boy King with the word "recess") but noooo.

Gotta keep our powder dry. And prove we hates us some Terra jes as much as the Goopers.

arghhh.
