Great post!
It's not too late to turn things around, but Step 1 is to make sure the Republicans "get it". This column gives me encouragement that some do indeed "get it". Now we just need to hope that the understanding filters upward.
NOT ONLY THAT, but it's becoming apparent, the MSM is not only bias, slanted, whatever... but they are actually getting into the business of 'creating the news,' I mean this is INCREDIBLE to me... especially from huge news organizations like CBS, and NYT... actively, braking every ethical rule, just to accomplish what we have always known they are about. I guess they are desperate and desperation calls for desperate actions, the pretension of evenhandedness is gone. Let's see what is going on out there and what the rats want... Social Security? No. Bolton? No. Delay?... No, wanted dead or alive. Conservative judicial nominees? Definitely NO!...
See the pattern? and the MSM is helping them every step of the way. The point????.... No easy for Reps to stay firm on anything unless we support them, and let's not forget these are after all politicians [smile]. We must help them in this battle, by being in touch with them... letting know we are watching and holding them accountable. Just like now, this is the time to do just that.
And a look into republican cowardly politics..
The bully pulpit has become the sissy fag pulpit..
Finally, Republicans have cross dressed as democrats..
Its a secret no more.. with few exceptions, republicans have no BALLS..
and perform oral deeds to democrats in the cloak room...
we need to start freeping each and every one of our reps - they have thrown away years of power...the dems are just running out the clock to 2006, betting they'll get more in.
And I don't see why not.
I believe Frist is a fine man, fine doctor, but spineless. I don't see him changing. He needs to go NOW.
And the house members stand by whilst the demonrats roast our only pub that does have a spine - for their trumped up "appearance" of impropriety - while the very real appearance and actual evidence of criminal activity - for the umpteenth time - on the part of hitlery is staring everyone in the face, the DeConcini investigation gets deep-sixed, Burgurlar walks free - and the clintoooons are untouched, again...
Freep you reps and demand backbone - NOW - there's precious little time left to use the power we gave them - 6 years already down the tubes.
We pretty much suspicion there's blackmail wide and far from the FBI file-gate back in the 90's - but we must have some reps in since then that aren't compromised? OR = don't we have at least one who may well be on the blackmail list that will say - to h*ll with it - this is what's been happening...and do what they're there for - do what's right for this country.
Freep time - big time...
freep the same ones once a day - until they get the message. We want to see some spine! (did their mothers never teach them "Right makes Might?"
and majority used too -
if he thinks being a Casper Milquetoast is going to put him in the WH - he's got less thinking power than even I suspect...
we need to see strength and someone who is not afraid to do TODAY the days tasks without regard to personal loss.
In other words, do what you were sent to DC to do - your job!
I'd like to believe in Santa too
His reticence - to be charitable - has given the demonRats more and more courage. If you don't punch the playground bully in the nose, he just gains more power and punches harder...he does not stop until his nose is bloodied...But you have to have a stiff wrist
from Pookie's "TOONS"
We need to send every one of our reps a "Spine Kit" - includes: backbone, majority, mandate - to be used NOW
Ping! PinGG! PiNNGG! PIINNGG! PIIINNGG!
Now that there seems to be no difference in goverance between the Republicans and the Democrats people will vote for who they "like" more than who is best for the country.
Ronald Reagan got more done during his presidency with an opposition Congress than W has (so far) in his two terms. Domestically, W has been a bomb. The only thing he has done that I respect has been the tax cuts - and they will expire soon - so the net gain is a big fat ZERO. Government has grown, regulations have grown, "real" security has shrunk, political correctness is rampant, not only in government, but in our military - so much so that a soldier has to consult an attorney before he can fire his weapon. Where is the leadership that will return this country to the dream of the founding fathers??
Don't forget the runaway spending of our Government...STOP signing bills with so much pork in them! NO bill is better than a bad bill...Medicare and healthcare costs are another point of contention...
Pretty accurately expresses the thoughts and feelings of most of the conservative base, I would think. At least my group of hard right rudder conservatives would agree...
What a brutally true article, and the fact that these Senators aren't embarrassed at all about sitting on the fence on "Issues", speaks volumes.
