this. It's not going to work this time. It's a worn out recording of an unfavorite song.

50% approval in Texas. This could be another Dem pick up if the Dems in Texas play it right.

I was really surprised with Texas personally! And yes, I think now is the right time for the democrats. It's a dream of mine to see Texas go blue. Even just one election!

2. Ah but they are cornered rats. A cornered rat always fights, unless he
can escape by trampling a fellow rat.

3. They've just revealed their hand
They've got nothing to counter it. Lashing out is the last desperate act of a cornered animal.

Fitzgerald prosecuted mobnsters and terrorists.

He's taken down a governor and is working on a mayor.

He's a prosecutor's prosecutor!

17. Thanks for the link
I'm impressed with her, and am planning on making a donation to her campaign. She sounds like the opposite of KBH, which is a GOOD thing.

I love all these new democrats coming out and running all over the country. It's great! Hopefully we'll do like we did in the twentith century. :D No more of this rightwing corruption nonsense!

14. Related: Congressman Conyers: "Pre-Emptive War Against Patrick Fitzgerald"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5152559
thread title: Congressman Conyers: Pre-Emptive War Against Patrick Fitzgerald

He puts it well, as usual: "As if spin and character attacks were a viable justification for a massive breach of national security, Republicans have already decided to smear Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald rather than take responsibility for their own misdeeds. "

19. It's All They Know How to Do
Attack people. And it's exactly the reason why I have hated them all these years (my disgust with the far-Right pre-dates GWB). I cannot stand people who are mean-spirited & lack compassion. This is a good description of these people. And look at what their mean-spiritedness & lack of compassion has done to this country. It's time for them to go away, *all* of them. We don't want them anymore.

24. Ain't she though. She's one of my Senators. Just got a stupid
form letter back from her regarding John Roberts. I wrote her about that weeks ago. It's a form letter response about how wonderful she thinks Roberts is. Her letter completely disregards my concerns and spews their bullshit/bushit talking points.

I can't stand her. She's a thief and a liar.

30. Hopefully you'll get rid of her
I've Emailed my senator Frist and he does that too. He doesn't totally address anything but you can tell it's a copy and paste letter addressing the main issue I wrote about. :eyes: But hey at least he wasted some paper on me. Heh.

31. I get those too
I know it won't do any good, but I write to KBH anyways. I always get back a form letter that basically says "Thanks for writing, but I'm going to do what I want to anyways."

Blech. She makes me sick. :puke:

22. Meanwhile, Fitz is in his office, fitting the last pieces of the puzzle.
Criticism and smears from the right wing go around him like water rushes around a large rock in the river. The howling winds of self-righteous hypocritical outrage from bush administration apologists go unheard. Fitzgerald remains focused and determined.

In Fitzgerald's world, the only master he serves isn't a "master" at all. It's Lady Justice, and he is her chosen one this time around.

23. I have seen those large rocks in the river, it's beautiful to watch
the water go around them; they remain constant, they do not move.

Plus, not too long ago (earlier this month I believe) Bush came out and said what a fine job Fitzgerald is doing. So just play those clips again and again. :) That's probably why Scotty and Bush aren't talking about the case nor taking any action. All they're good at is smearing people for doing the right thing from Ann Richards to John McCain to John Kerry. I'd like to see them get away with smearing Fitzgerald.
