3. Using the word "wuss" says it all
I like to think of them as mayonnaise, buttwipes, Bush kissers, toadies, LOSERS.

When they learn how to fight for US and not themselves, wake me up.

4. It's a trick. Get an axe.
The "weak Democrat" is a bullshit strawman. That doesn't mean we don't have wusses, we do. But so do they. They're just hoping that by pointing at us and overcompensating with others we won't notice. Unfortunately, it seems to work a lot of the time, even on us.

5. We aren't the ones getting America's ass kicked in Iraq though, are we?
That job has been accomplished by Republicans chickenhawks.

11. That's the way I see see it. Mostly, anyway.
A little backbone in a time of crisis could've prevented Iraq altogether, in hindsight. Some careers come first, I suppose, and are worth thousands of lives. Sure, the republicans were lying when they presented their case, blah, blah, but we knew that they were here at DU...

6. You know who I consider one of the strongest Dems? Sen. Russ Feingold
The man is a freakin' bulldog. I do wish he'd run for President in 2008.

12. I was glad to see him step up.
I'm even happy at some of the half-assing going on due to the coming election. I could add more names, but I don't want to seem to be playing favorites among people doing the right thing. I wish more would follow their example.

7. We can all be wusses. We just need a couple of strong leaders.

8. No, there are far more Congressional wussies in the Republican Party
They have far more mice that willingly sell their constituents out to keep on Karl Rove's good side. They rubberstamp because they are too afraid to do hold their President and the Executive Branch accountable.

10. I'm a PDA-volunteer, barnburning, bombthrowing Kucinich lovin', Bernie
Sanders worshippin', Guardian reading, true blue anti-corporate labor leaning Moonbat...and a Democrat. I'd rather have any Democrat over any Republican, unless say, my only choices were Susan Collins and say, oh, Bud Cramer. At least Collins admits what she is, while Bud wears the mask and not very effectively.
