The Republicans and their complicit media would be playing this short video every chance they had if we had a Democratic administration during these goings on.

No Dem would ever get elected for anything after this if it happened on their watch.

This is something that would never be forgiven or forgotten by the American people. The media and the Republicans with their talking points in hand would have made sure of that. They would have killed us with it.

1. They don't remember anything
but Cheney and Rove are sure crawling out with a revisionist version of the facts.

If the media were serious, all their comments on the subjects raised in that Rove book (and other BS) would be replayed over and over to mash down their lies.

The good news is that they have finally been caught using their only imaginary tool - FEAR.
Why anyone ever believed or believes that Re can keep America safe after both 9/11 and anthrax happened under their watch is one of the great propaganda stories of all time.

2. I remember watching that
It was jaw droping...They were warned that Ben Laden had cells and were going to attack but they did not say when and where so they did nothing....no actionable intelligence is how I think she labeled it.
But what was more shocking is that no one did or said anything about it in the MSM and congress did nothing....had that been Clinton there would have been a full scale investigation with calls for impeachment.
But these facts of life we should learn...there is conspericy...and it has been shown to those allowed to see it.

4. Clinton or ANY Dem president WOULD have been impeached after this
A number of Dem lawmakers would be siding with the Republicans too.

3. The Democrats have shown that they do not know how to debate or fight effectively
Part of the reason is during 8 years of bush, many of the Democrats in Congress rubber-stamped everything that bush pushed through

In the last year, whether it was HCR or the misrepresentations of the Democrat's policies, I have seen a lack of enthusiasm, not only arguing their policies, but rebutting the other side.

The Democrats should have spokes people everyday slamming the republicans through the media

A perfect example of the failure of the Democrats is when Coakley had a double digit lead to end up losing the election to brown

Until they act like leaders, and that they won the election, not only will nothing change, we will start to lose

5. Perhaps they don't want to.
The money may be better playing good cop to the GOP bad cop.

Part of the necessary illusions and set decorations at a site like DU. You can't actually react like a normal person does, you are encouraged to feign ignorance and loyalty.

10. There's a big difference between don't know how and don't want to.

6. Unfortunately, yes I can imagine it.
When I watched our Democratic Congress members listen to Bernanke and Geithner saying they had no clue the economy would end up like this.
None...surprise surprise surprise.

And while I wait for the same Democratic majority Congress to enforce contempt of Congress actions
that were threatened against Rove and Harriet Meirs,
to direct the Bank enforcement agencies to actually pursue some enforcement of the few banking laws we have left,
to pull the plug on the Blackwater contracts instead of authorizing even MORE money to them....

ad nausum.

7. Forgiven and Forgotten is the Obama Administrations Policy
So why should anyone feel sorry for these rat bastards.

The Re-Pukes stuck 'em in the basements when they had power, Remember ?
Their parties Senate leader told Democrats to please go fuck themselves in the chamber, Remember ?
The word "Liberal" is now right up their with Nazi, Remember ?

I don't have to watch the Re-Pukes to know what a god damned mess this country is in and in for
All I need to do is watch these spineless fucking rat bastard Democrats to know that fact.

So the next time you hear the phrase, "Looking Forwards, Not Backwards", Remember that.
And these Democrats can take their sorry asses back to the basements where they'll be sent
with laughter and scorn once the Pukes take power again

I sure as hell won't be feel'in sorry for 'em, Will you ?

In the Forward direction more corruption and graft! More economic bubbles based on nothing!

In the backward direction is icky things like democratic complicity in war crimes. eeew! stinky!
