"Democratic leaders said they will go along with the compromise" news

[rodeodance]

segment on abc just announced this. talking of compromise reached by rebel Repugs and WH.

[Hubert Flottz]

1. I refuse to EVER vote for anyone who is for torture.

[Waya]

2. What a surprise......NOT!

:eyes:

[Demit]

3. This is sick, sick, sick. I am just sick to my stomach.

[sutz12]

4. Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh!

Is there anyone anywhere with any conscience?

What is Clark's position? He's been pretty quiet lately. :mad:

[rodeodance]

6. i have not heard

[mmonk]

18. If the ABC report is true, the answer is no.

[ClassWarrior]

24. ABC? True? In the same sentence?

:rofl:

What does that google bomb say at the bottom of your post?

:eyes:

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

5. Do we have any news on this that hasn't been filtered through...

...a Corporate network spokesmodel? I'd like to hear our reps in their own words.

NGU.

[rodeodance]

7. i have not heard what Russ Fiengold thinks either, have you?

[ClassWarrior]

21. Nope. I'm keeping my ears open.

NGU.

[rodeodance]

8. k

[mmonk]

9. Well surprise, surprise.

I guess I have to reassess my affiliation after the upcoming elections. I have no choice but to elect as many dems I can right now but I'll probably change to independent and just work for progressives and people that defend the constitution afterwards. I took a pledege in the 70's to protect and defend the constitution and I will not waiver.

[Cyrano]

11. I guess we are now officially a banana republic run by a tin-hat dictator.

[ClassWarrior]

22. Yes, because we all know that ABC is trustworthy and honest...

...and would never make something up and promote it as the truth.

:eyes:

NGU.

[kentuck]

10. But we don't know what the compromise is yet?

Are they willing to go along in the blind?

[mmonk]

17. Political expediency? Maybe. We'll have to wait to hear.

[rodeodance]

23. vague talk in articles about the provision to grant immunity retroactively

to the 'professionals' also.

[LynneSin]

12. I'd like to see a link about the story before we go assuming stuff

Hell I could start a post saying "ABC just announced Democrats willing to pardon anyone associated with Tom Delay" thread and people will jump in and assume 100% that it's true and democrats must be vilified.

Let's find a link, who said it and how others in the party support it. For all we know it's Joe Lieberman and the press still assumes he speaks for the democratic party

[mmonk]

16. I'll wait for final judgement. I'm nervous that our future

is entirely up to us however with no large organizational help.

[LynneSin]

20. I'm expecting several democrats to support the repukes

hell we could probably name the names here.

But I'm not ready to vilify the party until I have the facts

[geek tragedy]

13. Well, that is on ABC. Maybe a reliable source would be better. eom

[magellan]

14. So let's see, what's the Dem leadership's message to America this week?

1) Bush is not a devil...or at least should not be called one by other countries' leaders. We're waiting for clarification on that.

Check.

2) Torture is okay, as long as it's only this much. We're still waiting for clarification on how much this much is.

Check.

....

Shameful.

[DianeG5385]

15. Why?????

Why are they giving up the moral high ground? Do they think they will win if they look like Pukes? This is one to fight and if we win the mid-terms, this leadership bunch MUST GO!

[Imperialism Inc.]

19. Consider the source.

Plus the story supposedly came from ABC.

[never_get_over_it]

25. Several folks on this thread

have stated we don't know if this is true - we need to wait for link - can't trust the source. But honestly folks given the Democrats actions over the past almost six years - would the fact that the Dems would cave on this be a surprise to you. So if I was a betting person I bet the Dem leadership will fall in line behind this "compromise"

We are lost folks - we have NO REAL OPPOSITION to these criminals - and I for one am sick and tired of folks here saying the Dems can't do anything - they are not in power - blah blah blah - Many of the Dem leadership SUCK SUCK SUCK and have been almost as harmful to this country as the Devil in chief because of their enabling -

Every single time during this administration when there has been a glimmer of hope - it has been ripped out from under us - We're lost folks - we're not going to win in November - these criminals will get away with their crimes - and our country as we knew it is history.....

With that said I still hope that I am wrong and we will win in November and we will get our country back - but I'm beyond bummed and discouraged

[Independent_Liberal]

26. We CAN'T give up!

Like one DUer said recently, it's like a funeral around here. Everybody wants to throw in the towel.

[never_get_over_it]

28. You're right

but like I said I'm very bummed and discouraged - and it just seems to get worse everyday....and I know we all feel so helpless...but there is still a small spark of hope in me - so I will make calls to Senators today - at least that way I know I tried....

[ClassWarrior]

29. It has gotten slowly... incrementally... better... I know that's...

...not good enough for the "instant gratification consumers" around here, but it's the best we got, and I for one am not going to throw it away because I'm impatient. (And believe me, I'm as impatient as anyone!) I personally am trying to help build some momentum for it. As are a lot of people out there: PDA, MoveOn, True Majority, DFA, and all of their individual grassroots members.

So snap out of it! B-) We need your help!

Never Give Up.

[never_get_over_it]

30. Snap out of it

Believe me I'm trying.....

[msongs]

27. politicians who stand for nothing will fall for anything! ABC boycott is

apparently dead as well, I see.

No way they will vote on it next week.

Mark my words, bet me even.

[Beelzebud]

31. Harry Reid is a complete failure....

What a fucking wimpy bastard he is...

Just sit on your fucking ass all damn week Harry. Let McCain pretend to be doing what YOU should have been doing.

Now Reid looks like the ass he is.

I'm tell you, sometimes it's hard to continue supporting these fucking frauds...
