RIce Vote: Wake Up Call to Liberal Democrats...
I have been simmering for months now....I going to spew...here it comes:

How many times does the party have to smack you upside the head with a political 2x4 to realize the majority of democrats in Washington are just a bunch of corrupt crooks doing the GOP's bidding because they got the goods on them...?

COME ON!

Here is the deal. The GOP tells the Dems that they better get on board with Bush or they can forget about getting even the tiniest of initiatives considered and they will start investigating...everything Democrat.

"You vote for Rice and will change the language on this bill we purposely wrote badly." Well...DING DING DING...HELLO they are lying to you...AGAIN.

GODDAMN IT!!

These weak kneed Democrats with "tail between the legs" have rolled completely over and being reamed an new one buy the likes of Mr. perfect hair healthcare robber baron Frist.

The fact is Rice is a lying peice of crap who will do and say any thing neo-fascists tell them. She has not one shred of credibility in the world.

We are at WAR here people. A War that Rice, Bush, Cheney and the rest sold to America and started on LIES!

The DEM Senate is rolling over thinking the GOP is going to throw them some fucking bones!

BULLSHIT!

Anything less than total rebellion by the DEM's is cowardice. Forget about the "getting things done" and the "sour grapes" talk from the GOP it is time to OBSTRUCT, throw wrenches into the fascist machine...

People need to lose jobs. People need to start getting escorted off the senate floor. I want to see some ANGER at what is being done to America....

Lets STOP THIS WAR! Were are two steps away from a draft that Washington will bow thier heads and say "unavaoidable...peace with dignity and honor" while winking at each other...

We're in another UNWINNABLE WAR!

Gonzales the torturer and Rice the liar...with Bush the stupid.

::;puff:::pufff:::::

And for you prick NSA, DOD, CIA, FBI assholes spying us....you better thing twice about your loyalty to Bush and the corporate powers that run this country because when the people finally rise up they are going to have no pity you...."but I was only following orders..." Is no defense. You'll get to play in your own naked pyramid. Because if you don't some lifer is going to stick shiv in your belly and laugh and then guards will look away because they only get paid 18k a year.

To the GOP: Take social security away and hand it over to Wall street types who have a great track record of honesty of late and you will open up a huge can of whoop ass on yourself.

Like I've said before the GOP is doing it's best to keep the Democrats moving, backpedaling and crawling to the right. They have don a wonderful job. Hillary Clinton is going campaign on a Anti-Abortion ticket in 08' and Democreatic candidates are being sought that support a marriage ban.

I am sick of career politicians trying to save thier jobs at the price of progress. Freedom! Ha...America Freedom....freedom of what?

To watch a hundred fucking channels of shit? Advertising desguised as sport? Pick one of fifteen SUVs or 20 pickup trucks? Or another stupid mini-van? Freedom to listen to hate radio on very station preach the same messege. Freedom to pick a religious school because the public school was forced to close because of selfish tax cuts and punishing reforms?

I'll tell you what PUT ME on the air and lets see some shit hit the fan. They would fine/arrest and lock me up so fast it would make your head swim...

I'm DONE.

No more friendly, accomidating fellow. Fundy Bush loving Christians are now called Agents of Satan (AOS), Republicans are Fascists. War is NOT peace and freedom is NOT freedom to torture.

I'm going radical now...and I don't care who I offend with the TRUTH.

specifically the lurking freeper scum...





sssssssssssss........ *

done

2. I think the dem pols are scared stiff cuz of losing election after electio
and have lost their nerve. They need a good dose of courage. Like the
lion with no courage they need to find the wizard.

4. And they should be scared too!
Even if it takes 6 years to clean house, I propose everyone with a traitor/turncoat Sen or Rep vote independent to help throw their asses out. Who needs DINO's voting against us?

6. Weeeellllllllll.......................................................
I tend to agree with most points but think you have generalized Democratic motives just a bit...there were a lot of different reasons for voting with the repukes and a lot of them had to do with local conditions or political realities. In the end, it's true, all politics are local and some of these people vote the way they do because they feel they have to in order to survive their local/state elections.

Hillary will never get my vote.........EVER.

But I won't throw Feingold over for a Dem because of this vote on Rice........

I'm reserving my rage for a case-by-case review.....otherwise....I don't blame you at all....and yes, yes, yes........the Bushco regime has RADICALIZED US ALL!

7. This level of outrage is not quite sufficient.
I agree with much of what you wrote, but disagree with your explanation: you postulate that the only reason most Dems act cowardly, is because they "fall for" GOP promises that they'll be tossed a bone. This is not so. Most of them act cowardly either because they're terrified of what the GOP will say about them, or because they actually hold rightwing ruling class beliefs themselves. Diane Feinstein, for example, votes for a lying POS like Rice because she's a member in good standing of the ruling class, and finds it natural to support whatever serves her class interest. She is more interested in her husband's investment portfolio than she is in government serving the broad population.

But you're pretty much on the right track. One blatantly stolen election, another dubious one, a war that has ruined this country's finances, moral fiber, & reputation -- and we can only manage 13 Dem senators to vote against someone the whole world knows to be a liar.

8. Good points...almighty dollar and personal security
Guides many of the decisions in poilitics.

What ever happened to "term limits"?

ONce they become drunk with power and influence it is difficult to see the harm that is being wrought on society...

Not to mention the successful fear mongering by the GOP...

All the crap that came with the neo-fascists after the first stolen election in 2000.


Did we ever think that the Anthrax attacks would ever be really solved..? Has anyone been brought to trial for 911...? Where is Osama? Or is he just a boogie man created to keep people frightened...he is probably sitting poolside in Saudi...next to another breif case full of cash...

It all points to one big stinky mess...and it all swirls around Bush and it has sucked in 2/3 of the Democrats as well...

Bush said it pretty clear...."You are either with us or against us."
