With Bush appointing extreme right wingers and loyalists to his...

[whistle]

...cabinet staff, how will that bring the country together? Bush promised to unite not to divide the nation. Putting only neo-conservatives and religious fundementalists in positions of power means that the right wing agenda will be pushed in full force.

How are democrats preparing for this as the old session of congress closes and the new session of congress begins in 2005? What will be done to minimize the implementation of this right wing takeover? I have not seen or heard anything from our side on this.

1. answers...

1. it won't
2. they're getting their backs calloused up so they can roll over and stay there for long periods of time without moving.
3. absolutely nothing. welcome to the nazi right wing moral majority. you're soaking in it.

[lovedems]

2. I know. I keep waiting for there to be a change

and it will be announced that Jerry Falwell is going to be Secretary of Education and Ken Lay secretary of the Treasury and Condi Rice as Secretary of State! Oops!

I hope the confirmation hearings show spines in the democrats.

5. try holding your breath

3. He won't bring us together, and isn't even trying.

At this point in time, the Democrats plan (except for a few "mavericks") looks suspiciously like the same thing it's been all too often since 1980: token blustering, then capitulation.

[whistle]

4. Then we need a new party if that is all that the democrats can....

...pull together.

6. I hate it when Democratic leaders say, when asked

about say, Rice's confirmation process..."she will have to answer some tough questions, but I think she will be confirmed."

Why even have a confirmation process?
