OK, don't flame me. Stone me!! I am sorry for what I said about Kerry
last night in the heat of frustration and rage about the hearings on the SOS. I apologize.

I am so, so disappointed in Dodd who I thought would vote against Condi. I don't blame Obama. He has to be able to survive his first year but I expect him to be tough in his voting. Biden is a bag of wind and I wish I didn't have to see him or hear him. They know Condi is going to be confirmed by the whole Senate. They could at least have voted on principle...but then, I guess they did...their principles just don't match what I thought the Dems stood for. The great "suck up" begins.

2. You're forgiven and Kerry is forgiven...
but what about the rest of the party? Other than Kerry and Boxer, the party should be ashamed of our actions today. I don't understand why we're just giving-up.

3. I, too, have some crow to eat.
Yesterday, I stated that I didn't think Kerry would vote 'nay' and accused him of rendering empty words.

Unlike Condi Rice, I will admit when I am wrong.

Kudos to Senator Kerry, and apologies to his supporters here.

pass the salt 'n pepper, please. I'll try to choke this down.

7. Speaking as a rabid, drooling Kerry supporter
Thanks guys. I appreciate hearing from you.

I will also offer that I let the give and take turn into tit for tat entirely too often. I will try to either ignore or at least engage in a reasonable fashon those with legitimate criticism.

8. You are the one I remember saying that yesterday. I knew it wasn't the
original poster because they didn't have the right avatar.

Eat up. Yum yum!

5. Basically you summed it up, Biden, Dodd, Barak, these guys all
know what Rice & this administration did. They lied to get us into this war.

You probably were right in what you said. I don't know what you did say but if it is how our democractic leaders do not stand up to this administration then I agree.

This is why the DNC needs new leadership. We have the grassroots following and ready to fight for democracy and the right thing.

Let's go Dean.

6. Are you one of the people who was going to eat their words if Kerry
voted against Condi?

I was just going to do a post for whoever said that to start eating now.

12. Well. I'm glad I responded to him, then, last night.
If Boxer voted against going to war with Iraq, then her track record is better than everybody elses. Kerry is in good company.

16. Best thread I've seen in days
I mean, I don't want anyone to apologize, or have to eat their words, what I really think we need to have is patience here. This is EXACTLY what I expected from Kerry, and I think we're going to see a lot more where that came from.

With his intelligence and knowledge, combined with Boxer's, as well as Boxer's obvious passion, they make an extraordinary team. We've got two now, who I think have been strengthened a bit by the grassroots support, and I think there will be more in time. I do think the chumpass administration is going to have a fight on their hands this time around, and well they should.

15. So did you learn anything from this? That's all that matters.
If it makes you think twice before ripping someone who's *generally* on your side then all is well.

I don't even know what you said, all I know is that the demonizing of good people on this board has gotten way out of hand, we look like a bunch of knee-jerk whiners. (That was not directed at you, but possibly others who need to learn from your experience).
