Maybe it would be easier to list who we like in the Party....
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 10:13 PM by theboss
So far this week, the following people have been tossed under the bus...

Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
John Kerry
Chuck Schumer
Barrack Obama
Mark Dayton
Chris Dodd
Ted Kennedy
Terry McAuliffe
Jay Rockefeller
Robert Byrd
Diane Feinstein
Russ Feingold
Harry Reid
Nancy Pelosi

Is there anyone in any position of authority in the Party who passes whatever impossible test we've set for them?

2. Boy, this thread'll sink fast...
I'm sure even Boxer will have done something to tarnish her star by next week.

11. maybe we should try lowing our standards slightly...
I'm willing to...so some of them can come back on the bus. But I want to know why Schumer, McAuliffe,Reid, Pelosi, and Kerry(since election day) are on the bus...It seem to me that we were always bashing them??

12. I can't stand McAulliffe myself
But I included him because these boards are beginning to take on the feel of a putsch.

13. position of authority?
Maybe that's a clue. You don't get to be in, or stay in, a position of authority if you do what the people want.

Well, Maxine Waters can be on my bus, baby, anytime she wants. She ripped Blackwell but good. I was pounding on my chair in agreement after nearly every sentence she spoke.

She gets it.

A handful of the speeches even got it (and we're only talking speech here, not even action).

I heard at least 3 Pugs separately crow that "every big daily newspaper in Ohio" bla bla bla to stop recounting and whining and move on and all that crap. Must have been in that little fax the Rs got this morning -- their talking points.

14. as the base
when our leaders piss us off we have a responsibility to complain about the behavior and work to try to get them to change or get them replaced.


If we don't we end up losing even more control of the party.
