My hat is off to all Dems who have shown a fighting spirit.

[dave29]

I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but if you look at the period of time from when Howard Dean became DNC chair, when Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi began their coordinated efforts to stand up to the Bush "mandate", and people like General Wesley Clark and Barbara Boxer have gone out of their way to stand tall and proud for our party - President Bush's popularity has tanked, and support for his policies has considerably diminished.

Republicans have been caught off guard by these bulldog Dems, and many of them are starting to wake up to the reality of their drunken-power fest.

I wish we did not have to "fight" for what we believe is right - but all the proof we need that it works is in the waking media, and the fact that we are making people like Karl Rove and Dick Cheney emerge from their fundraising and shadows to try their best to bite back.

We will win. The policy support has always been on our side, we just needed the country to see that we were willing to fight for it.

Keep up the good work, grassroots - the driving force behind the Bulldog Dems.

1. Don't forget the incredible John Conyers!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[dave29]

2. keep adding names - I did not mean to leave anyone out

John Conyers rocks the House. Literally.

[pstans]

3. I totally agree

Reid and Pelosi have done a great job standing up against the Rethugs.

You have to say thanks to John Conyers for investigating the election and the Downing Street minutes. Stephanie Tubbs Jones stood up with Barbara Boxer against the Electoral College vote.

Russ Feingold has fought against the Patriot Act and for our civil liberties and for balanced budgets.

4. "We will win."

'nuff said ...

[Webster Green]

7. I need to mention Sheila Jackson Lee, just about

the only Texas politician I respect. She's always fighting an uphill battle against the repug forces of evil, but she keeps fighting, so I salute her!:patriot:

[dave29]

8. she is amazing

so passionate and eloquent. She makes me proud to be a liberal Dem from Texas :)

[Dr.Phool]

9. If you wanted to see a good fight

You should have been at my local Democratic Club meeting this afternoon. Two solid hours of yelling and screaming.

[dave29]

10. ooooh! Do tell

about what?

[Dr.Phool]

11. The competency or lack thereof

Of our County DEC Chair.

The club, which used to have 170 members, is down to 35. Repubs have swept all the elections for the last 4 years.

[dave29]

19. that's unfortunate

perhaps some Democracy is called for ? ;)

[fooj]

12. Ours is a noble and just cause!

:patriot:

peace.

[Adelante]

13. Bless 'em all!!

:toast:

[sendero]

14. Two thumbs up......

..... a shout out, tip of the hat, kudos and props to all the Dems standing up for us and our party!

This is just the beginning, we're finally on our way :toast:

[Cha]

15. It ain't easy being on the

:patriot: front lines at this time in the history of the USA..they will be remembered with reverence like Thomas Paine .."These Are The Times That Try Men's Souls".:patriot:

Instead of the British..it's the bushreich and the neoconjobs.

[dave29]

20. Thomas Paine is a true hero of mine

thanks for mentioning him.

I would recommend everyone read "Common Sense" probably the most adequately named document ever to be written.

[hangtotheLEFT]

16. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

This shit ain't over with after all.

Those CONpassionate CONservatives & Fristian fuckers have no idea the beast they have stirred.

PULL THAT PENDULUM BACK IF WE HAVE TO!

(Can ya tell I've about had enough, now? The time for righteous indignation has passed...IT IS TIME FOR A MOBILIZATION OF THINKING MINDS AND PASSIONATE VOICES!)

Sens Byrd, Biden, Durbin, Kennedy, Kerry, and Schumer. :)

[kerrygoddess]

He's showing some serious spunk recently.

[Redleg]

18. Damn right. It is nice to see our Dem leaders show some grit.

I just hope they step it up even more.
