Are Our Democratic Congresspersons On the Take?
How in the world do you explain their utter complacency in taking on the Bush administration head to head?

Two general elections fraught with fraud, two winning Democratic candidates quietly capitulating "for the good of the country", a Congress that has been given its marching orders by a disgusted constituency, then meekly farts its message when a full-bore crap on the executive branch is in order...

...what in God's name are they afraid of? It sure as hell isn't voter backlash. We have a complicit media, a complicit Congress, a complicit judiciary...

I think it's time for all good patriots to revolt. We have LOST our great nation, folks.

But who exactly won it from us?

1. I can't explain it, but I subscribe to the belief...
that the bu$h regime has some threat over them.
Something so horrendous that they will let the regime have what ever it requests.

2. Maybe he's threatened to let "terrorists" blow up the Capitol or
nuke all of DC or NYC or SF if they challenge him. Maybe it's as simple as threatening them with more anthrax.

3. I remember during Watergate, the people were all for it, the Dems were
nervous, but the nation felt good. Americans love pro-action, for the good of all of us. Why can't they see that? They remember Watergate, they remember the euphoria we felt. Spines, we need spines.

7. Dems put forth legislation, Repugs put forth talking points and vote to protect bush.
Watch CSPAN a while you will see what I mean.

Your anger is misplaced. . .focus on Repuglicans. They are blocking and protecting bushco.
