Reply #172: I have to agree [View All]

[Logician]

I have to agree with AWL... I live in Massachusetts and have become infuriated with Kerry's level of talking with no follow-up of any action.

And every time I bring this up on DU, I get flamed to death by those who accuse me of destructive Kerry-bashing. I get sick and tired that when someone dares to criticize Kerry or any Democratic leader, he or she gets roasted. It does not play into the hands of the Rethugs-- it just might motivate our so-called leaders into taking some unified action against Shrub and his plans to wage war at any cost and destroy long-valued social programs enacted by Democrats and liberals.

I just wish Kerry were different. Perhaps he would be in the WH at this point in time, and we would not have a mindless, born-again asshole destroying our country on every front and aspect-- domestically and internationally.

After Kerry's press release about formally bringing up DSM before the Senate-- which he did not do-- Ted Kennedy, who really has guts, brought it up formally and forcefully.

I was condemned by some DUers as being naive about the strategy designed by Kennedy and Kerry around the DSM. Well, time has borne out my beliefs that Kerry just talks and talks again.....

There is ample evidence that Shrub lied to our country to lead a war to either try to secure cheap petro, to exact some revenge for his father against Saddam, or both. How much more evidence do we need before our Democratic congress does *something* definitive with force about this?

IMHO, Conyers is the true hero here.
