Puzzled...have the Dem leaders been stolen? Vanished?

[NRaleighLiberal]

I guess I can understand the strategy - the Pugs are doing a fine job taking all amounts of rope and hanging themselves...but only if the media stays on the task (and there are signs that they have been spanked and are swinging back to Rovian terms). But... Dean? Kennedy? Kerry? Edwards? Yes, there have been a few things said...but the silece from the left is really eerie to me. Does anyone else find it just a bit odd? Makes me a bit paranoid that everyone is in on something (meaning the entire gov't has been bought off or is compicit) and we are going to be hung out to dry....

hmmmm

[senseandsensibility]

Odd, yes, and forboding...

I expect their silence to continue. I find them to be as cowed as they were after 9-11, and as silent as they were when their candidate, a decorated war hero, was called a traitor. I hate to say it, but their silence is utterly predictable.

1. Hangin' out with Cheney

Just sittin' around, maybe lining up some contracts for donors.

[Connie_Corleone]

2. Invasion of the Body Snatchers indeed

Maybe they were replaced by pod people.

I better hear something from them on Tuesday.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. No. Gore is rescuing. Others are letting Bush self-destruct in public.

Gore organized a mercy flight quietly and isn't seeking credit.

Let Chertoff, Browne, and others dig Bush's grave with their lies that are so apparent.

7. Did People See...

...Tim Russert grill Chertoff this morning? He really got him good! Someone in the breakroom at work said that Chertoff looks evil. I agree.

13. Except they won't self destruct.

They will spin bullshit and misdirection and confusion until nobody can remember what happened. Meanwhile our Fearless Leaders are all hiding under a desk somplace scared, as usual, to take a stand.

They have until Tuesday morning.

4. The Dems Are Complicit -- Have Been All Along

I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

[Prodemsouth]

5. A message from pink tutu Democrats: My aren't we picky..

this is only the biggest natural disaster in US history..You except us to do something more than sitting in congress and smiling stupidly . Fighting is wrong Mr. Rove said so.

[Cleita]

6. Maxine Waters is in NO. Dennis Kucinich has spoken up

against the administration. I haven't heard about any others, but since it's a long weekend, maybe communication sources aren't as good as they usually are during the business week. Clinton however seems to be siding with Bush so I don't know where that leaves Hillary and no one seems to have heard from her.

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. Ah, yes, communication issues - we've heard that talking point

alot over the past week. Not barking at you, just you reminded me of yet another Rove talking point.

[daninthemoon]

8. we're going to be getting the same action we've gotten on everything

from rigged elections to homeland security to illegal war ... We have no leaders.

[ispeculate]

11. theyre all counting the money

[Stevendsmith]

10. Dems are trembling in puddles of fear-induced urine

They are prisoners of their own timidity and corruption.

[smoogatz]

12. This party needs more prominent truth-tellers.

Wes Clark has actually done a commendable job of talking about the Katrina debacle--and I say that as soemone who feels that Wes might make someone a nice running mate someday. Gore has been excellent. Dean has siad some pithy things about Frist's push to permanently ditch the estate tax in a time of national emergency. But where are our fine Democratic Senators, indeed? Perhaps Harry Reid's preparing a statement as we speak.

[Prodemsouth]

14. Reid said pretty much the same thing as Dean on Friday.

15. They should all follow Al Gore's example.

Just fly in, drive in , fly over and drop stuff, or whatever and SAVE PEOPLE. If anyone turns you back then you can give testimony at the hearings.

[Deja Q]

16. Hiding and giving their spine a fresh coat of yellow paint...

What else is new?
