Is it time to disband this loser of a party?

What's the point?

It didn't have the balls to fight Alito, and now it doesn't have the balls to fight Gonzales.

Today's hearing was a sham. The predictable result is that the Republicans will declare that they were willing to conduct a hearing, and that the hearing exonerated Bush. The rightwing-controlled media will play right along, running those snippets of Gonzales's testimony that will support Bush, but no actual valid argumentation.

Everything the Dems need to fight this Republican cancer is on their plate. Why do they refuse to use it, except that they're either horribly inept or complicit in the Republican crimes?

Gonzales is a man so corrupt he refused to be sworn in... you know, something that's expected of every American in a court of law...

Color me beyond disgusted... I'm a person without a party. God save us all, and I'm not even a believer.

2. shhh

everything will be okay.

3. Did you watch the hearings?

Gonzales didn't refuse to be sworn in. He didn't have an objection to it. It was Specter's decision.
Several Dems and 2 repubs nailed Gonzales. There will be more.

6. Well,

I stand corrected... but that's a distinction without much actual consequence.

4. One point of your post is totally incorrect..

and the only one I am responding to ...

It is not up to Gonzales to 'refuse' to be sworn in... It was Sector who did not require it.

5. In all fairness, Ali G didn't "refuse to be sworn in."

If we are to believe what was said this morning, Gonzo volunteered to be sworn in even if the committee said he didn't require it. It was Specter who insisted he was an honest, truthful man who shouldn't be subjected to the indignities of swearing in.

Like he was the previous two times he testified, I guess.

The reason the dems don't fight, I think, is because of the very thing they're "investigating." Warrentless wire taps and domestic spying.

7. Just what we need. Less support.

That's the spirit, Champ!

Guess what? I'm going to continue to vote for Democratic candidates, and you can vote for whoever has done exactly as you wanted. Good luck with that.

8. Disband the party of Thomas Jefferson, Franklin D. Roosevelt,

Harry S. Truman, and John F. Kennedy? I HOPE not, ever. But, you're right...our party's leaders seem tired, effete, just going through the motions, convinced - CONVINCED - of the inevitability of Repuke domination. I wish I knew the answer. We're going to wake up some cold morning and realize that we're a third-rate debtor nation, ruled by an elite cadre of fascist bullies who exist to do the will of the oligarchy while the rest of us keep quiet and endure poverty and ignorance. A kind of Northern Guatemala with a gigantic nuclear arsenal. It may already be too late to wake up the slumbering millions. I truly hope not.

9. who's the loser?

and who's the one with no balls?

The ones fighting, or the one calling names?

[cry baby]

10. I don't think you'll get too many to be in your circular firing squad.

Disband, if you will. Hope you find a perfect party that will represent you in your every wish for the world. Me, I am living in reality and will deal with what is here and now. I'll try to make the dems more courageous by making sure they know they have back up.

There sure are a lot of threads bashing the only party that can beat the nazis in the capitol.
