Where is the outrage from our Democratic Leaders at John McCain's comments?
Why is a freaking Republican the ONLY ONE to smack back at that doddering old fool for his disgusting comments about Barack Obama?

Where are they?

3. It is the same old Democratic attitude that has allowed the right to..
do this for decades.
The Democratic leadership has for so long taken the view that if they ignore the lies they will just go away.

Back in the 60's that might have worked, even in the 70's but with the M$Media being feed by the right wing the lies become perception and ultimately hurt the Democratic Candidate. We get beat by our own apathy.

5. it's been an echo chamber.
Edited on Mon Jul-28-08 09:21 AM by ErinBerin84
I was thinking last week that maybe they did not want to take attention off of Obama's good press from the overseas trip, or wanted to prevent Obama from having to get into a back and forth overseas. If this week continues to be an echo chamber on McCain's latest disgusting tactics, I'll be pissed. Kerry and Biden have been good on their Obama defense in general, and Hagel and Reed were good on Face the Nation. But other than that, it's disappointing.

6. Perhaps it's petition time?
someone posted almost the exact same question yesterday......it is pathetic.

We've had several petitions for Impeachment hearings, Fox News, etc. - might be a good idea for them to know we're not happy with their behavior.

9. Moveon.org has a contact/suggestion box - writing an email to them now and see what they think.
