1. The cold hard facts are alway diffcult to face, eh?
Edited on Fri Jul-20-07 04:30 PM by BeHereNow
Facts are- many in the both the republican and democratic party
cleary serve multi national CORPORATE
interests, NOT American interests.

Until people face that truth, how do you suppose
we, the people, will get the country back?

32. Try losing your brother to an illegal war for oil based on lies. Then you will know ANGER.

And then maybe you will understand why this "unity" bullshit is just that...bullshit. Democrats who get my support are those who do not enable the war criminal who killed my baby brother with his lies.

7. We should concentrate on ANY and ALL who do not represent us
Those who have sold America down the river, on BOTH sides of the
aisle, should be revealed and driven out of office, by WE, both
republicans and democrats, the PEOPLE.

37. Reed Levin was a very pleasant departure from the norm....
... facts to back up this point of view are far from difficult to come by.

5. I think we should be harder on the Dems. Repubs don't know any better.
It's not about walking lockstep -- as we complain that Repubs do. It's about the principles of the Democratic party and fighting for those principles and the Constitution. I think this is what all Americans want.

12. Now is the time to put even more pressure on the Dems.
The Dems should then apply pressure to the repukes in congress, as the latter will never listen to us.

22. Hey, it's always easier to sandbag your friends than...
beat up on a strong enemy.

Anyway, there's a whole lotta people here who seem to believe all that bullshit they taught us in 8th grade civics. Like we have elected representaives who will represent us. And that if we whine loud enough the political bosses and big money will listen.

Oops! That's the problem-- they all sold out to the money, so we have to...

Hmmm.... Just what is it we have to do?

24. Agreed, but it is hard to understand why "Dems" like Sen. Ben Nelson
of Nebraska sell us down the river by voting with the thugs and then give some totally BS reason for doing it.

26. i'm sick and tired too,
of people telling me how I should think.

If a Dem(s) is/are being knocked down in DU, it's because someone thinks he/she/they deserve it. And if someone else thinks they don't deserve it, he/she can respond to that specific post.

It is up to us, as registered Democrats, to shape the Democratic party, not follow the lead of a few disconnected so-called leaders.

So, I will continue to criticize my party if I think they're doing something stupid. I am not adopting the herd mentality of Republicans; it is precisely that timid disposition that has got this country into such deep shit.

A good number of Dems failed. Not all of them, but a good number of them. Let them feel the full force and fury of an angry electorate.

Therefore, discussion shouldn't be silenced under the cover of 'uniting against the other party', like the topicstarter wants to do.

38. Uninted against the pukes by playing their own game
Hey Nancy, I have loved each and every one of you posts for the last year or so. No more lurking for me though.

I believe that we each need to pick something that we care about and go do something about it, and include the perpetrators in the process.

I am a volunteer.

I have volunteered myself to go out and do charity. Not to overthrow, but to "under through". That means to go and confront the ignorant right, right where they are, and engage them in their own fallacies, and help them to think it through for themselves, all the while, working hard to help people, regardless of your, or their political, or religious beliefs.

It actually works, and I have personally helped take back over our "environmental organization" up here in the mountains in So. Cal. from a crew of Evangelical Right Wing GWB loving folks, that did not even know what happened to them. And they supported it!!!!

I firmly believe that acting locally is the way to go. GWB has no standing, the war in Iraq is what it is ,for all Americans to see, and the repuklikkinz, when you talk to then as a neighbor, are fed up, and ready to learn.

Go get 'em!!!!
