What setps can Democrats take other than symbolic? They can't call hearings, they have no subpoena power...they can't even get a room with a decent sound system. Also, we deal with a corporate media that is in the pocket of the Repugnicans and this regime that will either stifle or trash anyone who attempts to step forward...and justify it by the fact Democrats have no control. It's a Catch 22 that can only end with the Democrats retaking both Houses.
Some of the most frustrated people right now are folks like Jerry Nadler and John Conyers and Maxine Waters...folks on the Judiciary Committee would would love to shove it up Sennsenbrenner's ass. You have the same thing over in Appropriations and Ethics and right on down the line. That's where accountability happens...but it can't when you don't control the agenda or the committees.
Right now there's so much corruption...so many scandals that it's getting hard to stay focused and I fear both a fatigue and apathy will start to wear in. However, we must continue to chip away at this regime...get it's crimes into the open and keep hammering...then craft a plan and message that offers a clear alternative in the fall. In the meantime, people still need to get kicked in the ass by this regime...they need to get angry, frustrated, pissed...the more the merrier and the longer and deeper the anger the better. Democrats need to keep the fire and hope Repugnicans get apathetic...the combination of the two will mean positive results in November...and THEN we can start demanding the accountability and we'll be able to get answers.
