I Don't Think It Has Really Registered Yet What A Victory We Won Yesterday

[ThomWV]

I can not give enough thanks to Democrats in the House of Representatives (or little enough to a cowardly Senate) for standing up to Bush yesterday and 'just saying no'. The height of the day occurred when a petulant Bush angrily offered to delay his flight for a little bit so wayward Representatives could be shown the light. That has been the nature of his Hubris. No more. They sent him the right message. He is irrelevant to the process, the People and their Representatives are in control. "Your days are numbered, boy."

There had to be a great deal of fear in the White House last night. The veil is down, the would-be King has no clothes, he has no power, he has lost his ability to rule the People's house.

The tide has turned, if we put on pressure now we can run them right out of town. Nancy seems to have got the word, now if Harry would only follow suit.

1. the media is doing it's best to ignore it completely.

[ThomWV]

3. Then call your local radio stations and news papers and ask they why?

Make them report the news. Call them up, ask them what is wrong with them for not covering this NATIONAL NEWS. Raise hell.

2. I'm cautiously optimistic...

But I have to stress the word "cautiously". We've been let down so many times it's hard to get excited about the actions of congress.

[ThomWV]

4. That's a shame, because caution never spreads. If you were wildly optomistic on the other hand ...

People would listen to you and come to agree with your opnion.

[zanne]

20. OR...I could be wildly disappointed. Again. nt

5. Oh, I thought you were talking about reaching 1000 donations

by Thursday.

6. Something happened yesterday.

It seemed that the Dems finally have had enough. They have been ignored, abused and disrespected for years, now. I hope this was a tipping point. I want to see them fight for OUR democracy.

Full steam ahead! Let us call them, and tell them they are starting down the right track. I feel they are not going to put up with chimpy's shit anymore.

11. "ignored, abused and disrespected"---Not to mention pusillanimous, craven, and gullible.

It took way too long for them to see the only way to deal with a bully is to confront, not to acquiesce.
Or, rather, too long to know this and yet wait until laws were passed and people were dead.

[tekisui]

14. For damn sure, they took too long.

Better late than never. Men are still dying.

It's never too late to turn around and do the right thing.

7. I think you're right. As KO said last night, we're done letting fear

control us. This was a huge effort by the House Dems, and you know they ticked off a lot of people.

I do wonder what the hurry is/was for *. Seems like they're afraid their own behinds might be on the line. That would make it doubly delicious, if so.

The meek little lambs have hopefully found their spines.

9. I was thoroughly impressed with the Unity of the Dem message.

Pelosi was even in on it! It wasn't a few courageous, it was a Strong Party.

That is what leadership can do. Get after it, Dems!

[WinkyDink]

8. Way too optimistic for me, though it's nice to read! PsychoBoy is still in charge of the troops,

among other things.

[tekisui]

10. Win battles.

Win more battles. Win the war. It's a start.

[ThomWV]

13. We stood, we held. It was a 1st. How is it 'way to optomistic' to appreciate that?

[WinkyDink]

15. I appreciate it; indeed, I'm amazed. And therein lies the issue: WHY should I be amazed, at this

late date?

The mills of God grind slowly; the mills of man need not.

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Yeah I am leaning that way too

I gave up on these chickenshits about 6 months ago.

[babylonsister]

12. Dim son up now crying in his beer that the FISA bill wasn't passed.

:nopity:

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. Yes they sure are brave when the repukes walk out

Let's see what they can do when they don't walk out.

[elizfeelinggreat]

18. "the tide has turned"

from your lips ....

I was very, very happy yesterday and I've been waiting for something to be that happy about!

[skooooo]

19. I hope it turns out to really mean something...

...and not just be some empty actions.

[ellenfl]

21. BUT . . . will this lead to recess appointments? eom

[peacetalksforall]

22. I hope the 20 Senators feel like the gutless non-leaders they are.
