ALL Bush has to do is invoke terra and the Democrats fold like cheap chairs

[Horse with no Name]

I'm sorry--it's true.
What is so fucking sad is that the rest of the country has caught on to his antics...yet Congress is afraid they will be made to look weak and end up looking like a bunch of pussies instead.

[Kagemusha]

1. That and threatening to make them do summer school.

Horror of horrors.

[Skip Intro]

2. It cannot be that simple. Something else must be going on.

[noise]

11. I think you are right

My guess is that the Democrats are on board for corporate fascism or they are under duress (Bush Co. has made threats behind closed doors). I don't find it credible at all to think this is politics as usual.

[B Calm]

16. Maybe they are afraid Bush will have them anthrax-ed..

[percussivemadness]

3. pelosi is a waste of space

7. The real Waste is the money being paid to Republican Congress

critters

Pelosi is WONDERFUL in her Speaker role...So much better than Newt.Hastert ever was...

The GOP is a SPINELESS Group who gave Bush the whole sheebang for 7 years. Now theyt wanna win by bashing Dems viciously with BS Crap.

They usually have NOTHING Positive to offer or say....thats because they did Nada for 7 years

4. When Bush says "Terror," say "Bridge."

And then ask the people which frightens them more.

5. I guess if DU is swaying Right by Bashing DEMs we should switch Parties and leave DU

and go join the Republican Party of Greedy Ole Pervies?

Gimme a break.....

6. ....

I guess you should call Feingold a whiner too? And the ACLU?

"The day we start deferring to someone who's not a member of this body ... is a sad day for the U.S. Senate," Feingold said. "We make the policy — not the executive branch."

Likewise, civil liberties advocates said they were outraged that Democratic-led Senate would side with the White House.

"We're hugely disappointed with the Democrats," said Caroline Fredrickson, legislative director for the American Civil Liberties Union. "The idea they let themselves be manipulated into accepting the White House proposal, certainly taking a great deal of it, when they're in control — it's mind-boggling."

8. Join the GOP like I am....

[Horse with no Name]

9. Go for it

I'd rather throw these fucking traitors OUT of MY party.

[Selatius]

14. How idiotic of you to conflate criticism of leadership with collaboration with the Repubs

Give me a fucking break...

[bigtree]

10. 16 Democrats voted for the wiretap bill

out of 51

[Disturbed]

12. Democrats were told that the next Terrorist Attack will be blamed

on them if they didn't give Busholini everything he wants. Same as the IWR vote. Most Dems cave in to it every time.

[bigtree]

18. but this time, 'most' Democrats didn't cave

[Selatius]

13. If Bush were as aggressive/cunning as Adolf Hitler, he'd be tearing to shreds the Democrats.

If this is the best the Democrats can do, I'm unimpressed.

[radfringe]

15. Democrats fold like cheap chairs , not quite

they snap like twigs beneath an elephant's foot

I'm telling you know - if the dems don't get their spines and balls permanently re-attached - come spring of '08 you will see support for a 3rd party independent candidates that will make the 1992 groundswell support for perot look like grammer school spat.

and it won't only have an impact on the presidential race - it will also hit house/senate races too.

the danger in this for country is that we will flock to someone who tells us what we want to hear, but will do whatever the "fuck" he/she wants to do with the newly aquired imperial powers.

[madokie]

17. That is with apologies to the real pussy's right

I really thought last november we had for the most part weathered the storm but hell no can't be having any of that rescuing our constitution and our country now can we.:mad: Come on congress critters do something except play into the bushilter's hands. The last few days DU has been very toxic with fish bait stinking the place up. we have been infiltrated, that I do know for a fact
