Republican cowards walk out of congress while doing the peoples business
They took the ball and went home, even though the democrats now own the ball. All over illegal immigrants that they brought into this country to punish American labor and keep wages low. Illegal immigration is a republican idea that has now become their problem. So many of their great ideas have failed, why do they even bother to think?.

Disinformation, lies, diversions, are all they have. The remaining rubber stamp republics will be in big trouble in 2008, and they deserve another thumping for not representing all of the people.

And on executive privilege?, What privilege do the people have?

5. Yes, They Do Think!
I remember actually several times when DUers and many progressives were urging and pleading with the Democrats in the House to walk out when the radical Republicans were pulling their vote shenanigans when they were in control.

This is yet another example of how the radical Republicans run rings around the Democrats when it comes to grabbing the public's attention.

In my opinion, we are witnessing a battle for the very survival of the Republic ... Democrats have just got to stop worrying about appearing to be 'governing responsibly' and start fighting back as if their and our futures depend upon it -- because it does!
