Democrats have ditched their appeasement and have gone to war

[IndianaGreen]

For 5 years many of us have chided the Congressional Democrats for their Vichy French qualities. No more! The Democrats have ditched their appeasement of the GOP and have gone to war. From John Kerry to John Murtha, they are now waging war against the most criminal government in our nation's history. Real war heroes such as Kerry and Murtha have raised the banner against chickenhawks such as Cheney and Hadley.

I applaud our Congressional Democrats and I stand solidly in their support. I won't waste my time fighting old battles with people that are in need of our support. How about you?

1. I agree totally - we need to stand behind them and make sure they continue

Recommended.

[babylonsister]

2. Well said and I agree! nt

[Lerkfish]

3. sounds good to me.

4. The big test will come with the Alito nomination

there is no ambiguity about Alito, and that will show exactly if they appease or NOT

Yes, the Iraq issue is good what they are doing, but it isn't the only issue

[AlecBGreen]

5. Amen brotha!

Testify! Testify! :headbang:

[Conker]

6. It's good that they are fighting, but what took them so long?

[WePurrsevere]

19. Not sure which sulking or giving Reps enough rope to hang themselves with.

I highly prefer to think the latter. :D

At this point I don't truly care.... some of them have finally come out kicking butt but I do remain watchful since I know that only time will tell if they all can keep it up.

[Conker]

33. I still can't get over how it took them so long to put up a fight.

I know several Democrats that have lost faith or are losing faith in the party.I still support them, but I still feel they should've raised hell before Bush got his 2nd term.

[IndianaGreen]

34. Better late than never!

The House Democrats in particular have crossed the Rubicon, and there is no way back, particularly in view of the storm trooper tactics of the Republicans.

It is imperative the GOP loses control of the House in 2006 (I don't think there is a mathematical opportunity to do the same in the Senate).

7. Thank you

Kucinich gave some great remarks today. This is Bush's war. He misled the American people and Congress. Amen.

Democrats are all focused on our presence impeding Iraqi progress and turning Iraq over to the Iraqis. I'm for getting behind that and pushing to begin the withdrawal. Murtha and Kerry both said to begin withdrawal after the December elections. Let's just get behind that message and go from there.

[IndianaGreen]

8. Exactly, let's rally around our Democrats in Congress

and let us stand resolute against the neocon cabal that has hijacked our country and our Constitution.

9. I'm there! n/t

[cindyw]

10. I think a pig just flew by my window

[Laurab]

11. I'm with you, too! n/t

[tsuki]

12. You applaud, but every TeeVee Pun-dit has sharpened their

knives. If the dems win, I hope that they look at the FCC fairness doctrine again.

[autorank]

13. Give 'em Hell Harry...and the rest of you. All for one...one for all!

And those who shirk their duty, are you listening Sen. LIEberman, will face a real fight in their next primary.

[Freedomfried]

14. Don't mean shit till it gets on d' tee-vee...

Q: Why is being a Democratic blogger similar to pissing your pants while you're wearing a dark suit?

A: Because although it gives you a warm feeling, nobody else will notice.

[MH1]

15. Thank you! This is what we need - unite!

So some different Democrats have somewhat different plans to get out of Iraq. At least they HAVE plans to get out in the near term, unlike those friggin' chickenhawks. I'm with you - let's stick together and support these Democrats - whichever Democratic plan is followed will be better than the republican non-plan.

[IndianaGreen]

16. I am watching the C-SPAN replay of Murtha's press conference

The sound bites played by MSM do not do justice to this awesome presentation by a respected hawk.

[The Magistrate]

17. Always A Pleasure To Be In Agreement With You, My Hoosier Friend!

"There will be a holiday in our street soon!"

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[IndianaGreen]

18. Thank you, Magistrate

Long time, no hear from my old friend.

[ProSense]

20. Well said! n/t

[truthisfreedom]

21. fuck bushco.

[OneTwentyoNine]

22. Ageed,finally saying what should have been said YEARS ago....

Better late than never,but I'm fully behind them. GO!!!!

[Adelante]

23. Agreed and Applauded

Thank you, IG.

25. They cannot help it... it is a compulsion with them to make nice

and not make any decisions based upon COMMON SENSE. God forbid their voting record be flung back at them. I see at least 3-4 of them who will probably throw their hat in for the 2008 presidential primary.

We should feel sorry for them...they are, in a nutshell, clueless, and will never see it coming.

[apnu]

26. Well, that pretty much sums up my views on quality politicians

Something America has a problematic history of. For the life of us, we can't get our best and brightest to run for office. And that goes for the Dems too.

Honestly, with a small exception in the Senate, I think the best the Democrats have in Federal office are found in the House. The senators, for the most part, suck ass. I'm just happy that my senators (Obama and Durbin) almost never show up on these kinds of lists.

[Doctor_J]

27. About time

Seems to me like Kerry is trying to position himself for another WH run, to which I say - no thanks. Maybe I am wrong and he's finally speaking his mind instead.

[tavalon]

28. It's about damn time

Actually, it's in the nick of time.

[Raffi Ella]

29. Hell Yeah.They have My Support 200%

The Democratic party is kicking ass.Don't forget we hold no power in the government right now.Not in any branch.For them to be calling the shots like they are and making Republicans stand up and listen is MAJOR.
They may not be doing it perfectly or in lock step on their postions yet(Murtha/Kerry)but they are getting their "agenda" heard and that is astounding being that the Republicans are in control of every branch of the government right now!
Keep your eye on 2006.We will gain back the House and possibly the Senate too.
Here's to us The Democratic Party. :toast:




:kick: :woohoo: :patriot:

[Ysolde]

30. I agree...

I get angry when they don't stand up (or they vote for crappy bills), but I still support most Dems.

[woldnewton]

31. About time!

I'm proud to call myself a Democrat for the first time in a while!

I was considering changing my registered Dem status, but now I might just stick with it. :)

[Conker]

32. Changing to what?Green?

[rndmprsn]

35. i stand up and applaud my dems!

becuase they are fighting for me, thank god its about time.
