We Dems need to stop with the "impeachment" / no-confidence gambits and
go for passing legislation and fucking Shrub.

1. Or we need to actually do something with the gambit
instead of backing down.

2. I couldn't agree more, although I do want to keep up the investigations
perhaps into war profiteering?

And some stuff isn't really getting as much attention as Obama spending a couple of hours with Powell. Like Congress making the CIA stop outsourcing its work. Now, can we make the Pentagon?

3. I also agree
but something I have noticed is that they (Dem's) both Senate and House don't follow up on the wrong doing they uncover. They really need to learn to work (control) the media like the RePukes do and stop allowing others to frame the issues. The "No Confidence Vote" today is a perfect example of how they say nothing while the RePukes manipulate the media to frame the issue in a way that make it sound bad for the Dem's as if its a waste of time, meaningless etc,etc.

4. Waddya mean?
They've already passed non-binding resolutions? How much more do you expect them to do?
