The Cup O' Joe Report 01/18/06: Stop Being Wimps

The most memorable part of Al Gore's recent speech, to this observer, was the part where he told Congressmen and Senators of both parties to stop acting like wimps and stand up to this administration. And he is absolutely right. Of course, I'm not really surprised that Republican Congressmen and Senators are letting Bush get away with his criminal activity: it's been my opinion for years now that Republicans are Republicans first and Americans when it's convenient.

For me, the biggest wimps are those FOX Democrats, people like Joe Lieberman and Joe Biden and lunatics like Zell Miller, who go on TV and tell the Democrats to show loyalty to a President who has done nothing but lie to them and repay cooperation with backstabbing. I hear Lieberman has a serious primary challenger now in Ned Lamont, and I hope he gives Joementum a run for his money.

If we're ever going to take power away from Republicans, we have to stop acting like them, and the first step is to get rid of these appeasers and apologists. Frankly I don't understand why we didn't just kick these people out of the party years ago. If you want to be a Republican, just switch parties. If you want to be a Democrat, then get with the program. Too many of us have lost our jobs, our pensions, and in some cases our lives because the Republicans don't care about anyone but themselves and the Democrats have been too afraid to fight back. Enough is enough.
