Have any of the Democrats in the run made a statement about Burma?

I don't watch or read the corporate media so on the weekends, I mostly rely on LBN.

Has anyone said ANYTHING?

[EFerrari]

1. Okay. I remember a time when the leadership would have issued

a statement. Let alone the people running for the highest office in this land.

What, exactly, is going on here?

2. kick

3. I found Obama's statement from earlier in the week:

Quick Googling got me nothing from anyone else. I don't know if that means they didn't say anything or what.

4. Thank you!

And, good for Obama.

5. Here's a link to hear Kerry's statement

http://www.kerryvision.net/2007/09/burmese_protests_continue_desp.html , from earlier this week, before it got worse. Here is another link with some of the text. http://www.kerryvision.net/2007/09/kerry_urges_us_to_stand_with_b.html (Both also link to some excellent non-Kerry sources of information on it.

In addition here is his press release:

9. Thank you. n/t

6. Can't insult China or Russia

or their business buddies the generals in Burma.

10. It's sort of worse. Highly placed Repigs have investments there. n/t

7. Well, when they can't speak to restoring habeaus corpus I don't look for

them to say anything meaningful about New Orleans, Military Commissions Act, the P.A.T.R.I.O.T Act(s) or bush's signing statements, executive orders and directives much less Burma. Sorry.

I haven't heard our Dems say a word about Burma. The only one who I know who has publically come out is....................Laura Bush!

[EFerrari]

8. We are screwn. n/t

[snappyturtle]

11. Well, one thing is for certain.....we must not impeach!

Instead we should wait until after the general election and see if whoever is elected president will of his/her volition give up the unitary executive powers bush has gleaned from his years in office.

That's the prudent way, don't you think? :sarcasm:

(Sorry I had to add the sarcasm thing but some of the opinions I've read here today....well, let's just say, astound me. Politics above all else....even the Constitution?!)
