Elizabeth Edwards nails Chimpy

[Neecy]

There's a terrific review of a speech Mrs. Edwards recently gave over at Kos. Nice to see a Democrat not cowering in fear for speaking the TRUTH.

She went on to say that as frustrated she was at this administration's posturing, deflecting, and story-changing, she was just as frustrated about the Dems inability to stand up together.

"How hard is it," she said, "to say, `It's against the law!' and "He's lying."

She went on to list out several of this administration's lies--George Bush was lying, Dick Cheney was lying, Karl Rove was lying.

The audience burst out in applause.

She said, yes, these are ugly words, but they are the right words for this administration.

The rest of the text is at http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/1/26/83027/4666. Well worth the read.

"Yes, these are ugly words, but they are the right words."

3. Nice to see a Democrat not cowering in fear ..... nice to see consistancy

at promoting this mistruth though, given to us by the repugs

now

i will read what ANOTHER kick ass dem has to say

6. Granted, there are a few...

Boxer, Conyers, etc.

However, given that this piece of fascist crap Alito will be seated on the Supreme Court this week because of some GUTLESS Democrats who are shaking in their tiny boots over that mean ol' filibuster, I suppose I can have a moment of bitterness right now.

[seabeyond]

especially if you tell yourself a few, when it is the majority

that stand and speak out. and if you chose to see the dems that didnt do what you want as gitless, regardless of listening to why they chose what they did, that may have nothing to do with gutless, just different from what you want. and certainly bitterness will come if your language is to belittle them, as in tiny boots.

go have your little pity, bitter moment. frolic in it. it is bullshit,..... from my perspective. a waste of time. not productive

[Neecy]

11. okay, whatever

Perhaps you won't feel like you've just been sucker-punched when Alito is confirmed. I happen to care.

[seabeyond]

12. lmao.... so you are saying i dont care?

how is yours working for you?

[Neecy]

13. well, that made no sense.

[seabeyond]

14. hm

are you saying i dont care?

(that makes no sense? you implied i dont care with "I happen to care.")

does your way work for you?

(i am not surprised that makes no sense to you)

4. Yay Elizabeth! *standing O*

[seabeyond]

5. lets not act surprised or that we dont know WHY we have not

been able to flatly say lie. we know why. and we know now we can say it. 2 years ago, the nation couldn't hear it. they can today

that is why.

and our people are using it. maybe not as much as some would like, but..... her is elizabeth FINALLY saying it out loud. she too was able to say it a year ago. and she is certainly a part of that culture.

i am saying we are in a kick ass place, and the people may be ready to hear. they are afraid with alito, and nsa. with ALL the stuff of the past. and iran looming.

they can hear it now. they may even be able to say it now. the american people, collective conscious

8. Stand up and fight, Elizabeth. Truth, wisdom, inspiration.

Elizabeth's and John's voices are so essential for us right now.

[seabeyond]

9. yes they are. as are many that are speaking out.

i do NOT get the people that are whining. i really do not. my gosh, have none of you been in a fight before. our opponent is .... well..... look at em running around giving stupid ass speeches, in slurs and pathetic.
