The DRIPS are BIG and We Are On The March!
I was shocked to see David Gregory instead of Tweety the other day...funny how Tweety took a vacation so HE would not be handling the DSM. David was fabulous! IMO,that was done to test the waters for a response in the poll numbers for MSNBC. That WOULD NOT have happened before DSM.

Helen Thomas was able to take Scotty to the floor with her War question and the Bush family!!!!! Scotty usually won't let her get that far with ANY question, but this one got out there.

Dean is sticking it to them everyday. Remember, he is just doing what they have done to us all this time. Just think about "liberal media" ha!

Conyers, Durbin(in the end, he will be declared a patriot for telling the truth)Dennis and company are all doing their parts.

Enough Repubs voted with the Demos to hold back Bolton. That could not have happened two months ago.

The Chimp's poll numbers are in the trash and the media people are saying so, actually saying so! This is really news folks.

Don't get weary now, WE ARE ON THE MARCH !!!!

Reporters are saying, "Bush lost BIG on the Bolton vote!" and " Bush poll numbers are low." Even repubs like Pat. B are saying that Bush may be having " a problem."

My jaw has been dropping to the floor with delight when I turn on the TV now.

What else can YOU think of to prove that we are ON THE MARCH!:bounce:

PS/ no nay sayers need respond :)

2. We need to keep praising the channels that are testing

the waters!

I want to believe that GE wants to make money and greed wins out when the DRIP are getting bigger.

Let's not count anyone out, we don't know who will be on our side.

7. It is About POWER, Not Money
Jack Welch caused GE to purchase RCA so that he could personally
dictate the editorial policy of NBC news.
He even said at the time that is why he made the purchase.

3. 50 Republicans
Edited on Wed Jun-22-05 11:12 AM by Catrina
voted against Bush on the Stem Cell Research Bill and even more Republicans opposed him last week and voted with Democrats on the Patriot Act.

Super Conservative (freedom fries) Rep. Jones (rep), Sen. Hagel, Ron Paul, Lindsey Graham and I believe, Duncan, all spoke out against Bush policies on Guantanamo Bay and the War in Iraq last week. McCain also joined those who are calling for the closing of Gitmo.

A poll asking 'does Congress represent your interests?' showed that only 19% of respondents answered 'yes'. This is a Republican controlled Congress.

Coverage of the DSM was balanced on Hardball and on Countdown, and in newspapers around the country. It finally made it to the Corporate media after six weeks of silence. Grass roots efforts are working!!

That's all I can think of to add to yours for the past week.

5. Sen Hagel (R) is loudly and consistently critical of the White House
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/050627/27bush.htm
Hit by friendly fire
June 27, 2005

Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel is angry. He's upset about the more than 1,700 U.S. soldiers killed and nearly 13,000 wounded in Iraq. He's also aggravated by the continued string of sunny assessments from the Bush administration, such as Vice President Dick Cheney's recent remark that the insurgency is in its "last throes." "Things aren't getting better; they're getting worse. The White House is completely disconnected from reality," Hagel tells U.S. News. "It's like they're just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we're losing in Iraq."

That's strikingly blunt talk from a member of the president's party, even one cast as something of a pariah in the GOP because of his early skepticism about the war. "I got beat up pretty good by my own party and the White House that I was not a loyal Republican," he says. Today, he notes, things are changing: "More and more of my colleagues up here are concerned."

National Security Watch: Sen. Chuck Hagel criticizes President Bush's performance on Iraq
June 20, 2005

...

On mistakes made in Iraq:

"We didn't plan right, we didn't know what we were getting into, and we weren't prepared. It's borne out in what's going on and the mess that we're in today. We made basic mistakes going into Iraq from the beginning. We never had enough troops going in. We should have had at least double or triple. There was one bad decision after another. One bad decision was allowing Don Rumsfeld and the Pentagon to run postwar Iraq."

On Vice President Cheney's recent remark that the insurgency is in its "last throes":

"I don't know where the vice president is getting his information from. It's not where I'm getting mine from. This administration at the top–the civilian leaders–is disconnected from what's going on.

On what happens next:

"I think what we're in for is really framing up the next six months. You've got some absolutely critical deadlines that the Iraqi government and this government have committed to. Those timelines must be maintained. We are where we are. We're not going to go back and unwind all the bad decisions. I think we've got about six months. If things don't start to turn around in six months, then it may be too late. I think it's that serious."

On U.S. troops:

"We keep putting our forces who are over there in these impossible situations, asking them to do these impossible things when there's not enough force structure over there and there never was enough force structure. It's an absolute joke to say that we have a coalition of the willing."

11. Hagel's comments are DRIPS from the right. Let's March!


We need every drip we can get, including Hagel.
The more they come out like this the better the water feels to them.
They have been bullied so long by KKKKarl that they don't have any spine left for the most part.
