Dems Send out "Weak Tea" when they should be FIGHTING! What Is THIS on the Cables?
Edited on Wed Jun-06-07 06:24 PM by KoKo01
How else could one explain the terrible news out there in TV Land for us Dems where the Pundits and Talk Shows seem to be even more Republican Leaning (if that's possible) than they were before the Dems took over the House and Senate.

I know folks say we have a "thin margin" but why are there so few Democatic OPS appearing on the MSNBC/CNN shows?
You know... the Mainstream Corporate Media must be thinking the Repugs will Win Again with the lack of strong Dems showing their positions to the American People on these Pundit Shows every night on the Cables!


Why does someone like Jenny Backus appear on Matthews show (described as a Democratic Spokesperson) and say the Dems WON in '06 by LUCK? What kind of spokesperson is this woman if she is on Matthews (where he gave her NO TIME) to say "Dems WON in '06 by LUCK?).

It's this way all over the Politico shows. What Dems that show up (called by the Cables for their "known rhetoric") are all WEAK ...they don't even seem to know that there's a difference in the Democratic Party vs. the Republican.

But....as I think about it...I wonder if those "weak tea" spokespersons for Dem Party aren't REALLY THE FACE OF OUR PARTY!

We WON the House & Senate back by "LUCK." No WONDER NO ONE LISTENS TO US if we PUT FOLKS OUT AS SPOKESPERSONS FOR US LIKE THIS!

Is our Democratic Party the Party of "Sit Down and Suck Up?" or the Party of FDR/JFK and those who voted in Carter and Clinton (and yes...they both let us down..but they talked a good talk at the time).

Aren't we DEMOCRATS TIRED OF WAITING? Why are the Cables NOT AFRAID OF US? Is it because of folks like Jenny Backus who are WEAK TEA when one needs STRONG MEDICINE?

Do our Dem Congresspersons REALLY THINK...we WON BY LUCK? HOW COULD THIS BE?

1. IMHO one of the major problems is that the Dems are not standing...
shoulder to shoulder as the Republicans have done (most things were not correct that the Republicans were standing together on) but they turned out one face. Until the Democrats can do this, they have a problem.

2. Who is sending out these Weak People to SPEAK for OUR PARTY?
There's lots of investigation going on...but we NEVER HEAR ABOUT IT! WHY AREN'T the CORPORATIONS afraid of us? What is it that keeps the Matthews and Tuckers and Scarboroughs and the whole Fox and Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs and the rest EMPIRE going?

WHERE ARE THE DEM VOICES SHOWING THEIR POWER OF THE PURSE AND LEGISLATIVE ACTS that could bring the M$M to their knees along with the Wall Street Hedge funds and their "cozy empire" along with "Big Pharma" and the rest of them who are raping the American Public with their tax breaks and give aways that Repugs have given them for years but culminating in Bush II who gave the whole COUNTRY AWAY to the CORPORATISTS!

5. The party
doesn't "approve" people. Individuals make careers out of being pundits. The party isn't authorizing them, or sending them out.

4. Dem spokesmen should be "authorized"
We should have official "certified" spokesmen for the Dems. Pre-screened REAL Dems like H. Dean, not RNC-grown imitiation Dems like Estrich, Caddell, Shrum, Morris, etc.

7. The party doesn't choose. The corporations make the selections.
Naturally, they choose lamers and sycophants rather than those who challenge their power. Unfortunately, their are more than a few with the "D" label to choose from.
