i'm sick of the appeasers and kiss asses and the git along wing of our party. we need fighters and we need politicians who can define themselves apart from bush and the neocons.

i'm sick of people saying that there's not enough difference between the two parties. we need for the democratic party to be the anti republican party on every level.

but don't expect my vote in 06 or 08 if things continue to go along as they are.

1. I agree 100% mopaul

let them know that if they won't help stop this budding dictatorship then we might as well hand it to them because the betrayal is too much to bear. I'd rather just give up if the only people who have a hope of fighting surrender.

2. Absolutly!
The dem leaders better get on the anti-war band wagon now if they want any support from me. "Stay the Course", "We can't cut and run"
and the lame excuse of the day is unacceptable!

4. Vote issues. Not party.
What they vote for/against will determine who I will vote/for against.

Iraq is the litmus test for my vote. I can hold my nose and overlook some politicking but when people are dying so that some politician can keep his/her seat at the trough, is beyond polticis as usual.

Politicians follow the votes and the money. Our power to influence them (unless we happen to be millionaires) is limited to our vote. Make them work for it.

5. i'll give the war supporting dems a chance to flip flop & support them
but only if they change their minds. supposedly that's political death, but if you word it nicely, it can work FOR you.

'i supported this war, but the president lied, so i changed my mind'

wouldn't bother me a bit.

8. I agree...
...and so does my former repub hubbie. He is energized by those who oppose dimson & co, not those who play patti-cake with the cons. Hubbie wants Conyers to run for POTUS, he also likes Durbin because he sees him day after day speaking truth to power on the floor of the Senate.

People want elected officials to work for THEM, not for corporations.
