Our Democratic politicians need to learn from Mexico and Italy

[CatWoman]

in other words, FIGHT.

The Italian vote was challenged, and now the Mexican vote is being challenged.

Those guys didn't pussyfoot around about it.

And neither should we.

1. can we call them something other than "leftist"?

But you're right. Well, not RIGHT right. Correct right. Not that the right is correct. Oh bother! ;)

3. Yup, I'm sure the GOP wouldn't make nice if they were cheated, either.

6. oh hell no. Even when we won in Washington fair and square they

blew a gasket.

2. "leftist" ?? -- there is no such thing here -- and besides,

it's being used in a derogatory manner. lets abandon it.

on NPR i heard them couch the story between the "strong conservative" and the "leftist." so, you imagine a muscular capitalist and a t-shirt wearing slogan-thrower.

arg.

5. They could also learn to actually stand for something.

Like Prodi and Lopez-Obrador, who do. Oh, but their (eek!) "leftists".

Something other than keeping their seats at the trough at any cost.

7. The Italian vote was challenged by Berlusconi

He lost, challenged it, and was told where to go. I'm, not quite sure what the moral for the US is meant to be.

8. My bad - I thought it was challenged by the winner?

:shrug:

regardless - it was challenged and the right person won.
