The Democrats are powerless |
|
The only people left with power (other than the Republicans) is us. Yes most of us are Democrats, but the official party has been neutered. The sad thing is that it wasn't the Republicans who did it, it was the American people.
WE NEED TO DO THE FIGHTING! This is our country and does not belong to the Republicans or the Democrats, but to the American people. The Democrats can be strong again, but it will take us and other Americans to fight for that to happen.

May have to start with Dean. Sometimes I wonder if the Democtaic Party realy exists as a political force. A Party nominee who couldn't beat a candidate with a record like George Bush? There is something seriously wrong with that Party.

4. Yeah, even Carville admitted that |
|
We need a Progressive Democratic Party (the REAL Democratic Party), to separate us from the current leaders who are going to continue to try (hahahaha) to find "middle ground" with the likes of Roveco.

I'm stunned. He's their good buddy and fellow traveller after all. How the hell idiotic must they be acting among themselves to produce this outcome????

7. Don't think it's the american people; dem leaders did it to themselves. |
|
Yes, the american people helped; witness the way they dumped Dean for the "electable" Kerry. But they were basically led into cowardice by half of the congressional dems who've been rolling over for radical repukes for years now.

9. Remember February 15, 2003? |
|
That was the manifestation of Bush's genuine opposition, and not just in the US.
A February 15 needs to be happening every day, and everywhere.
