What the Dems should Do. Period. (because I'm sick and tired) |
|
I hear a lot of talk about what the dems should do about this or do about that. I'm sick and tired of it.
There's only ONE THING to do.
Bring the gov't to a MAJOR HALT. Filibuster EVERYTHING.
Let Americans know that they too are
- tired of the corruption of our government - tired of the cronyism that got Bush and his boys in office - tired of the lies and bully approach that got America into an illegal War - tired of the Mafia-like techniques used against people who would tell the truth - tired of our rubber-stamping whatever KING GEORGE wants - tired of giving more money to the rich - tired of pushing poor kids to fight illegal wars - tired of telling Americans how to believe in God - tired of telling Americans how they should live their life - tired of having our votes taken away by paperless ballots and voter disenfranchisement - tired of the government-controlled media catapulting the propaganda - tired of hearing about atrocities like soldiers torturing and raping innocent civilians and children in the name of America - tired of the destruction of our democracy and the building of a fascist government run by an oligarchy of oilmen
Don't let another piece of legislature through, don't let another nomination be approved, don't take the right-wing-nut agenda anymore until the IMPEACHMENT of the ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION is ON THE TABLE.
We, the people, must hold our representation accountable until they hold those responsible for the crimes against humanity, our democracy and the American people are answered for.

to that. And no excuses like their voters are conservative therefore they must vote with the repukes. Their job is not to go along but to raise the conscienceness of the voters to the truth. Their job is to know what is going on and explain the consequences. We shouldn't be begging any dem to vote a certain way they should be out there convincing us, telling us the truth.

to allow this government to continue to perform is to allow a rapist to return again, and again, and again. The disease has spread everywhere...there is not one agency that is not infected. Bring the mo fo down.

3. Problem is, it doesn't seem like the Dems who represent us have it |

in them to do this. If they did, they would have stepped up a long time ago. I hate to be such a half-glass empty type of guy, but the majority of our government seems to be composed of nothing but crooks and those who enable them.

8. I agree... and it means |
|
They need to be replaced as well. If they can't represent then they don't need to be in there.

Senate Dems would dispute every one of your bullet points.

6. You're right...but it's not going to happen. |
|
A lot of Democrats are spineless. Sometimes I wonder why they even exist because of how much they cave-in to the republicans.

11. Are we looking at wholesale replacement of the representation then? |
|
I'm up for it... if a dem wasn't representing me, I'd vote for another dem to replace them... even campaign against them. Though, I'm not sure I would vote republican against them... and there is the problem.
We need to put up representation that will actually do what they are supposed to... if that's not possible then the whole system is FUBAR.

9. This would make a great letter to send to all DLC dems. |
|
I think it's time for a mass mailing to all the DINOs telling them exactly what you said & also to ask them how the hell they think they are ever going to win if they don't offer an agenda that is radically different from what the neocons offer. Also, since they haven't bothered to address electronic fraud, remind them that they are going to have to win by a huge amount to overcome it.
Kicked & nominated.
