It is really to say fuck it and give up on the Democrats, the thought crossed my mind today, but they are the only ones in position to challenge the Reich-Wing rule that is threatening are country. These are very ugly times and it is going to get much uglier, I am deeply saddened when I think of what things could be like when my son becomes an adult. These are our lives that are going to be harmed by Bush and his lackey filled supreme court, as well as the lives of our friends and families. I have shed tears over the direction our country is going in but at least now we have a nice clear list of those who will fight for us and those who will sell us out.
The 25 Senators who stood up for our rights today deserve to get our support. I think we should all contact these senators with our heartfelt thanks.
As far as the 17 weasels who voted to help rollback all the progress of the last 50 years and hand Bush even more power, they need to hear our anger. No one has the right to call themselves a liberal if they are going to help roll back civil rights and are going to help the madman in office consolidate his power even further. These jackasses need to be tossed out and replaced with real Dems.
The List of Shame:
Akaka (HI), Baucus (MT), Bingaman (NM), Byrd (WV), Cantwell (WA), Carper (DE),
Dorgan (ND), Inouye (HI), Johnson (SD), Kohl (WI), Landrieu (LA), Lieberman (CT),
Lincoln (AR), Nelson (FL), Nelson (NE), Rockefeller (WV), Salazar (CO)
Here in Connecticut we have Ned Lamont poised to run against Lieberman in the democratic primary. Please take a look at him and consider supporting him.
http://www.nedlamont.com/I implore people not to stop giving to all Dems because of the actions of some, we need them now. Give to specific Dems who you know will advance our cause, but if we stop giving at all no one wins but the Republicans. If anyone has info on real Dem challengers in other states please feel free to post it here.
