On the cave in

[nadinbrzezinski]

my lord the syncronicity across the liberal radio spectrum is just amazing

I mean even Ed Shultz is joining the fray...

Elections have no consequences, not that he is using those words but you got it

1. It's not a cave in...just a little subsidence...it may never even reach the surface

BUT on the otherhand, we may just have witnessed the DCdems pull the keystone out of arch that supported their sweep of Congress in November.

It may be decades before that sort of support can be restored.

2. Sorry it looks to me like a cave in

and that was before I listened to media

As to supoort

We are at one of those few magical moments in US History... they come once a generation or so, and usually materialize in a true fashion once every hundred yers

Can you say an out of the blue third party?

9. Yesterday's announcement will certainly result in disaffection of many

antiwar voters who were depending on the Dems.

The problem I see is that the resulting rift is unlikely to kill the Dems. More likely by dividing the left simply gives away the Whitehouse and the Congress. I fear that another few years of that will be the end of the Republic.

3. Well I hope not

I mean if people are willing to ditch the party over this then we deserve the repukes for the next 20 years.

4. The voters gave the DEM leadership the keystone...

Someone please hurry and tell them that we will take it away if they continue to assume our votes are freebies!

I asked for something in return for my vote and am waiting for delivery. Remember what they promised: "no more blank checks for Shrub's war"

I hope your right HereSince - may it never reach the surface. If it does, they may lose lots more then the vote.

5. Have you contacted yours?

I have, loudly

[RiverStone]

7. Yes - Maria Cantwell , Sen. WA --- a few times --- loudly

Great question nadinbrzezinski! Keep asking it :)

6. pulling the keystone out of any arch will cause it to collapse thus making

it a cave in.

8. Yes and it's interesting to me that a post playing on the one hand vs on the otherhand

draws an audience that can't tell the cynicism from the warning.
