4. Why not let the people decide, Chuck?
Edited on Sun Nov-12-06 01:17 PM by longship
You DC insider pols are going to become increasingly irrelevant. The Internet is rapidly becoming the "inside" of politics. The thing with this is that DC does not and can not control it. I know that this is stressful to you, but that is entirely fine with us. If you don't like it, that's just too f*cking bad for you.

When you finally realize that your sole job is to represent your constituency in Congress and *not* to jigger with the politics in the hinterlands maybe our party can begin to unite under a single banner. Democrats stand for many things, but the main principle under which we are united is one of respect for the principle that the people rule, and Congress critters govern.

In the meantime, you'll forgive us all if we continue to suppress your ability to rule in our stead. We do not need your help. We don't want your help. If you don't stop, we will stop you. This is our government, not yours.

Stick to your job, and quit trying to do ours for us.
