We had a saying in VietNam...
When in trouble,
When in doubt,
Run in circles,
Scream and shout!
This action accomplished exactly nothing, but it WAS funny as hell, and it gave you time to suck 'em up and take whatever action was needed. :patriot:

2. well, we have had 6 years of an amok administration

7. well, I wished it was down Paraguay Way
Becuz, I am deciding that the decider also known as veto man, is a one man show not a public servant and won't listen to anybody
but himself.

8. He is self destructing and has nowhere to go. Poppy told...
him not to invade Iraq, and he did anyway! He failed his Poppy again.

11. Frankly if I was his Dad, I would be giving him notes in his
lunch box, if his dad has one of the greatest resumes in the Western World, why doesn't he jump in here.

He was smart enough not to own Iraq, though.

25. It would be the thing to do
After all, Cheney is now claiming Iraq was all Bush's idea, and the coalition of the willing is now the coalition of those
looking for the exits.

20. Getting busy, taking action
Working for new Dem leadership in Congress.

Some may be content to watch this same scenario unfold again and again, but I choose to move forward .

Bush and the GOP aren't going to hand this to us, we have to work for it, even if it means changing leaders and demoting a few Dems.

I don't enjoy repeating the same mistakes endlessly.

26. And they are firestarters. They set fires all over so they can watch
us scatter like a kicked over anthill, trying to get to them all.

I don't let my rep off the hook but I'm too mad to see the big picture. Maybe tomorrow.

31. So?
We have the marbles now and we need Dem leaders capable of knowing how to lead.

Pelosi and Reid haven't shown much in the area of leadership. Were they my employees I would have fired them a long time ago. It's simple - you can either do the job or not. They demonstrated countless times that they can't. So its time for them to go.

Its nothing personal. It's not their fault that they are poor leaders. Its just a fact. Time to make an executive decision and demote them.

33. I can
and will. There are lots of others pressuring for the same.

We've been waiting for some sign of leadership from this group since 2000, and they have yet to live up to a single promise.
