3. I wish he would point out that he is actually apologizing |
|
While Bush is doing nothing about the reported torture and abuse.

19. No, if I allow how Fox plays things to affect how I feel about Durbin |
|
then they win.
They will always try to spin. Always.
From another thread I hear Daley had a hairy cat fit all over Durbin because of his comments. I'm now thinking that this had more to do with the apology than anything the Repubs might have said. If so, thanks alot Daley.

21. At Least We Agree On Daley |
|
And I live in Chicago, so I can do something about that syntax-mangling little daddy wannabe -- but you still haven't learned the lessons of '02 and '04: if you give in, you lose.
Durbin gave in.
End of chapter.

11. Dem leadership is impotent and now a doormat |
|
The fucking hypocrisy of the repukes makes me sick. This is why I will never set foot in church again.
It's okay for these bastards to demonize dems and liberals...it's okay to say we have no morals and that we're going to hell..it's okay to say that we are traiters and unamerican.
I love being a democrat, but I sure as hell am ashamed of the dem leadership not having the balls to call these assholes on their flaming rhetoric and outright lies!
I'm off to cook dinner for the kids. Maybe afterwards I'll have calmed down :grr:

12. Very depressing. Is it worth being a Democrat? |
|
Durbin was telling the truth, but I guess if enough people, what ever their political tripe don't like it, he must recant. With fools like Daley and Biden, is it any surprise the Dems have not won much since '92? Tell a lie long enough and loud enough, and it becomes the truth. Chimpie lied his way into causing the deaths of 1700 American soldiers, but that is just a joke of beltway whores like Dana Milbank. Durbin tells the truth, but recants after the shit storm raised by repuke after repuke and Wolfie is beside himself with glee. I raise the question again, what is the fuckin' sense of caring one god damn iota about the Democratic Party? With fools like Biden, Daley and their fellow travelers in the DLC, what the fuck are we all in for? Lieberman is the poster child for all beltway Dems. His claim to fame is french kissing Bush after the State of Union address. I like Howard Dean, but I am afraid he is fighting an unwinable war. I wont be contributing until the Dems take a stand. Durbin sure as shit hasn't.

14. He did NOT apologize to the Republicans. |
|
He apologized to Holocaust victims and soldiers who may have taken offense at his awkward phrasing.
He did not retract his criticism.

16. Lou Dobbs made it sound like.. |
|
..Durbin was finally apologizing to AMERICAN TROOPS!
His tone was basically that Durbin, by criticizing the Bush administration's torture/interrogation policies, was actually comparing American troops and interrogators to Nazi's. What a douchebag.
