Telecom immunity will pass this week, and it will be the fault

[rateyes]

of the Democratic Leadership--especially Jay Rockefeller and Harry Reid.

Chalk up another win for Bush's ability to cover up his crimes.

Our leaders, including Pelosi, simply do not want to hold the executive accountable for their crimes. How many times have they delayed, (and now finally stopped contempt charges for Miers, Bolton, and Rove?)

Let's face it. We have in control of the party right now a group of people who do not care about what we progressives think. They have the "where else are they going to go" attitude. In the meantime, the country keeps going down the crapper with the erosion of our civil rights.

This is pathetic, and we, the people need to start doing more than bitching about it on blogs. And, it's going to take all of us doing it together.

Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Jay Rockefeller, etc. need to be replaced with real Democrats.

1. Democrat or republican, it doesn’t matter; it seems all our powerful leaders are corrupt.

[rateyes]

3. Everybody's vote is for sale, isn't it?

:puke:

2. Rockafeller = Jellyfish Supreme

I swear this guy must be afraid of his own shadow...what an embarassment! He knew a lot of what was going on but was bullied and compromised by the booosh regime to cave in on the most draconian invasions of our civil liberties ever. And what will he do? Write another letter and hide it in his desk?

I agree...there needs to be leadership changes...get Chris Dodd as chairman of the Intel committee and my senior Senator Durbin as the next Senate Majority leader!

4. As long as they can't be bought.

Because, it's obvious that Reid, Pelosi, Rockefeller, et al, can be bought at the right price.

[KharmaTrain]

6. All Politicians Are Bought...

Look at how much it costs just to hold onto a House seat. We're talking at least $1 mil...and a Senate seat could easily cost $25 mil this year. That money has to come from somewhere.

It's not the price as much as how cheap they sell out. That's the rub right now.

Cheers...

7. True that. nt

[natrat]

5. so why is it verbotten on DU to support shehan over pelosi? etc

[rateyes]

8. Because Sheehan isn't a Democrat. If she were running as a Democrat

in the primary, then it would be OK. She's not.

Pelosi is no leader, though, and needs to be relieved of her leadership duties and replaced with someone who will lead.

[bdamomma]

9. what will be our last straw will it be if they mess around with the

upcoming election and get the superdelegates to pick our nominee, when will it be pitchforks and torches time???

[rateyes]

10. We need a good old fashioned revolution. nt

[malaise]

11. Until the people become citizens and

not merely consumers, politicians will literally get away with murder.

[bdamomma]

12. it may come to that.

(my mind is in overdrive) does anyone truly think that this disgusting regime wants to get us so angry that they will enforce martial law.

[BrklynLiberal]

13. Nothing short of revolt in the streets will accomplish anything...

[rateyes]

14. What will it take to make people revolt?

:shrug:

[nebenaube]

15. martial law... n/t

[lonestarnot]

16. Taking their shit away from them ie houses, cars, TV, food etc. stuff like that

[bdamomma]

17. yup, that could do it, houses are being taken away from people now.

the price of food is going up too, jobs are continually being sent overseas, we are ever so close on the edge.
