Damn When Are They Going To Let Go Of The Durbin Thing

[dogday]

Media is still talking about this. They spend more time talking about Durbin and not about the Downing Street Minutes.....

[cyberpj]

1. I'm sure they've been instructed to keep this alive to distract from DSM

[kohodog]

6. Kill the messenger, kill the message

That's the mo--attacking Durbin distracts from the truth he spoke about Gitmo. It's all part of their smoke and mirrors to keep people who don't pay attention from focusing on the lies and crimes perpetrated by this cabal.

[Carla in Ca]

11. I agree

This 'anger' and call for an apology is a hoax. It IS to distract attention. They aren't even good at it anymore. It took them a week to call for the apology.

2. I think we as Dems are allowing this. Why don't they make

their own sound bites; give interviews, pursue the DSM, Iraq, etc. They sometimes act like enablers; I'm not getting their inaction.

[dogday]

7. Have you seen one Democratic Senator on the News Speaking

about this? I have not.... He has apologized, let's go on down the road now...

[OldLeftieLawyer]

8. Why are you surprised?

Haven't you been watching the Democrats roll over and play dead for a long time now? Would you really have expected any of them to get up and defend Durbin when he spoke so righteously? Would you have had them defend him when the rightwingfucks started their attacks on him? Would you have had them counsel him never never never to retreat from what he had said, and, in fact, to have reiterated his Guantanamo claims even more vociferously?

Silly you.

The Democrats we have now are spineless. Think back to the brilliant Frist move that got three bastards onto the Federal bench without a whimper from the Democrats "in exchange for" not making a move to end filibusters.

If the Democrats were a girl in my old neighborhood, every boy would have had his way with her at least twenty times. And there's a name for girls like that.

They're called "Democrats in Congress."

3. When DSM, GITMO and other torture issues are no longer floating out there

[KLF44]

4. Local paper

published a letter to the editor from someone urging everyone to call your Rep. and Senators and demand that Durbin resign. What a wank!

Oh wanted to add that this local paper has not published one word about the DSM

[Jacobin]

5. Don't you know its fun to whack on a cowering wimpering dog?

I mean if you are a sadist and a republican.

The idiot should have stood his ground, or kept his yap shut.

He pushed back the sligtly growing spine of Dems by 10 months.

If he can't speak the truth and take the crap from the fascists, he needs to get a new job in the ribbon department of WalGreens.

[KittyWampus]

12. Oh, What Bravery. Calling Durbin An Idiot. I Bet You Really Spent

HOURS writing letters to the editor in support of him, sent him money, emailed the mediawhores, called into the rightwing shows, called cspan.

[bluedog]

9. in the house Woolsey D

I believe thats her name made a speech..shes a Democrat from Cal...and said...every time a Democrat disagrees with the bush administration.....we are raked over the coals in the media and the republicans are always demanding an apology.....she went on and stated something about the apology the adminstation owes to the American people about the reasons for the Iraq war..............I'll try to find the speech.house records about 7:00 pm

[DemNoir]

10. The same day DU'ers stop echoing it

Enough already.

[Goldeneye]

13. Rhenquist (spelling?) is supposed to step down.

That should fill some airtime. Anything to not have to talk about DSM.

[Dr Fate]

14. Did DURBIN ever talk about the DSM?

He should have said "I'll apologize as soon as Bush responds to the questions the Conyers Commission asked him concerning the DSM."

DEMs will never learn.
