Our leaders are backpedalling, and the wingers are jumping on it
already. Nancy takes impeachment off the table. Rahm says the "liberal wing of the party" won't determine the agenda. And Hannity wants them to apologize.

If we don't play offense, we're going to get trounced just like we did in the 90's. They should come out firing about Smirk's smears during the campaign.

1. The liberal wing of the party
is what won them the house and senate and they had better wake up and realize that or we won't be there for them again.

2. I don't know about impeachment
But I really think the RW media and pundits are just trying to reassure themselves that they have control and trying to assuage their fears.

4. I'll say it again.
The new Republican style is the Glen Beck phony Right. Give us a hug and stab us in the back. Watch him and you see how slick and sleazy they will be while they lay in wait.

13. Worse than Hangity and Limpballs combined...

Maybe not as bad as Coultergeist, well, yeah he is. She helped overall by being so arrogant. Beck is more dangerous.

5. If investigations provide proof impeachment is applicable
It will be done. She knows the American people want answers and justice. If W committed our troops for no known threat to us, he should be held accountable.

6. Look, Pelosi is not going to come out in favor of impeachment...
until there are clear grounds, and it will get passed (or whatever happens with impeachment). Yes, there ARE clear grounds, but with the house having been controlled by the GOP, it would never have flown. Meanwhile, she is ask about it and has to give some answer. What say we at least give her a chance?

8. They have to act to protect and defend the republic
If we focus on pressuring DINO's to be real Democrats we may well get the Whitehouse in '08.

Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 11:17 PM by mmonk
conservative democrats are the reason for this landslide and so we must play ball with the administration and just provide a little oversight. I get tired of hearing about the "liberal wing" of the democratic party and their wacky agenda and partisanship. This kind of crap is making me nervous and tempering my enthusiasm.

11. You know, its only been a day
It's 2 months until anybody's even sworn in. Let's not start infighting already. Take a deep breath and celebrate.
