How Activists OFTEN Miss the Boat
We often and I include myself become so enraged that we focus on
the wrong point or person(s).

Let us go back to the Begining Of Iraq War.

Human nature being what it is--The Fury against Dems who voted with
GWB and GOP was boiling. So attack attack the Dems who voted for
War.

There were Democrats who did not vote for the War. For example,
Bob Graham, a very serious senator and one of the most popular
governors in Fla history. Graham very bravely gave a long speech
on the Floor of the Senate explaining in concrete terms how the
the evidence was not thrre. He was experienced on all the committees
having to do with CIA and Intelligence. Furthermore, he ran for
president and went around the country explaining how the evidence
had not been there in the first place and the war was a mistake.

How many activists came to his side to support him?

Likewise this week the Lieberman-Kyle Bill passed. I have read
some fuming and raging posts against the Dems for voting for
this legislation.

J. Biden and C.Dodd, Democrats who are most credible, voted against
this legislation.

Yet the rage goes on. Who stands with Dodd and Biden????

Just a thought.

1. I missed the boat completely once and fell into the harbor.
It was really cold and my legs went numb. I never did that again.
