Too many "one, two punches" |
|
Too many times I have seen the Repubs and Dems act as a team. The Repubs putting one of their insane ideas or people in our faces and the Dems saying "Not now, now isn't the right time, wait something is about to happen OR things are happening behind the scenes." This has happened over and over again. Not only do the Dems have an issue with unifying and acting together to get rid of our single biggest problem - Bush, but they are consistently failing to represent the majority of Democratic Voters. I don't understand why we have 2 parties. The Democrats are not acting as a "party" but more like a few vocal dissenters here and there. What gives???
They don't want to filibuster because ultimately they don't have the majority, so they will lose. They can predict the future to.
Elections get stolen in 04 and "they are working behind the scenes to get evidence" "They don't want to show their hand".....
They don't want to politicize the situation "Katrina"....
Terry Schaivo Dems seemed AFRAID to call the Bush's on their Obvious politicization of the tragic situation.
No matter what situation comes up they barely make a noise. Sometimes, one or two will come out strongly, while the others nervously stand on the sides watching, waiting, taking temperature of the latest polls. It is disgusting.
Bush will have to destroy himself because it'll be a cold day in Hell before this group of Democrats gets their act together, come clean and starts doing their jobs.
Sorry, but I am so disgusted with all of them.

As i've made known here, I think a filibuster that can't succeed is a mistake. 41 votes won't do it. We need 51 or there will be a rules change. It has nothing to do with predicting the future it has to do with understanding the situation. Alito is a conservative wet dream , they will not allow a filibuster.
If they're going to accuse the Republicans of election fraud the evidence had better be convincing and rock solid. Tipping their hand before they have this information would be stupid.
There is no need for us to politicize Katrina. The negative attention this administration has received because of this debacle was amazing and it still continues.
Terry Schaivo Dems? What are those? Again , the amount damage done to the republicans because of this issue was huge.
It would be a HUGE mistake for us to play politics with any of these issues at this time. When your enemy is in the process of destroying himself it's better to just stand aside and allow him to do it.
The Democrats are doing well. Polls show that Americans are mush more likely to vote for a Dem then a Repug this November. They want to put the brakes on this administration. If we can stop them without firing a shot (although we have been firing many , and they have been hitting home) all the better.
