Scarboro says Dems don't know how to throw the hard punch!
He's on Tweety's show right now. I know, We all hate Tweety and OJoe, but listen to what he said.

"If I were a Dem strategist, I could tell them a lot of ways they could take out DeLay, and probably 30 other Congressmen RIGNT NOW! Think back to 1994. We took out the Speaker of the House, and a whole bunch of other Dem leaders, but you have to be willing to stand up at the michrophone and say These guys are WRONG! They're CROOKS! You can't mince words, you have to just say what has happened and what it means!"

Hell, Rangle is on with him and even agreeing with Joe!!!!

1. Ass-Eyes is right. We need to treat Repubs like he did Ms. Klausutis.

6. Then WHY won't ANY of the Dems do that?????
Hell, even the ones who are considered to be the radicals won't!

Kennedy, Biden, Durbin, Clinton, NONE OF THEM!!!!

I honestly don't consider myself as a radical activist. Most of you would fault me for being to fair and understanding. But EVEN ME!!! I don't understand why they are being such wuses!!!! Hell I'm a girl and I wouldn't keep my mouth shut for all this crap!

MOST of the Senators are "supposed to be" MEN!

5. He's right. He must have been reading DU lately.
Sometimes the devil tells the truth. But it makes me wonder, what's his agenda for doing so?

13. Warning Brand New Tin Hat theory
I think Bush is really a lame duck, people want to move on past Rovism but they wanted
their moral majority candidates on the Supreme Court so they have been propping him
up, how else could someone with 39% in the polls, a failing war which he started and
a huge deficit; be this powerful?

7. Well is he WRONG? NO
The Dem party has no balls. The collective leadership of out party mostly SUCKS. They always almost sound apologetic for taking progressive positions. This is why we lose. We have no coherent message and ever worse terrible messengers. Joe S is 100% right with what he is saying.

Want to win the house in 06? Our leadership must:

1. grow some balls
2. stop sounding apologetic on TV and radio and in print for being a Dem
3. attack attack attack, but attack with an ALTERNATIVE plan that Americans can understand

Then we win. With the way things are now? The Reps are Teflon, not because they are good in any sense of the word, be we don't know how to fight

9. Well, there are some Dems from NY, NJ, MI, CA who surely didn't
grow un leading a shelterd life. I guess they didn't see daily street fights, but neither did I, and I found out, just from working in daily office politics that if there's something really wrong, and it's affecting YOU and your job, you OPEN YOUR MOTH AND START BITCHING!

Sorry for the yelling, but DAMN, I almost always get things resolved in my favor.

Kerry was on the College Debate team. He's been in politics and the Senate for a long time, but hasn't seems to have learned anything about WINNING!

AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!

8. Democrats need to stand up and speak the TRUTH.
They must NEVER say THE EVIL "S" WORD, "SORRY". Democrats must go into every fight prepared to decimiate their opponents. It's the only way they will win.
Joe "Dead Intern" says 30 congressmen, I say 40-50 could be taken out this fall if the Democrats were united and willing to fight this shit.

14. He's right! We need to start talking red meat. And when we do
the wingbats will start shitting in their poopy pants because that's been the name of their game for a while now. We all know Joe sick pack is better served by our gang, but joe six pack prefers to communicate in short, red meat sound bites. We can sound bite. Kerry's problem, and I LOVE John Kerry, is he could never speak in short, strong sound bites that get played over and over again by the simpletons in the MSM.

15. Sadly, I must concur.
The guy is often an ass, but in this instance he's 100% right. I learned in middle school that the only effective way to deal with bullies is to stand up and hit right back, as hard as you can. And to stand up and tell the hard truth to as many people as will listen, without fear for yourself, and even if they cut you off or try to take you down. It's the only way to really win in the end, even if you often have to pay the price for it.
