Maybe it's time for a march on Washington to protest the Democratic leadership?
Perhaps if there was enough of a groundswell of angry Democrats with signs marching on Washington they might see that they are not representing their constituents. I am so pissed I am ready to spend $700 for a plane ticket and march right now.

How do you go about organizing a Million Democrat March against the Democratic Leadership on Washington?

2. And what a hell of a story that would be!
Quite an eye opener for Hoyer and Pelosi! :spank:

12. Only if we march naked.
If you want any attention from today's media, you first have to catch their interest.

We can't march with OJ, cause he's in jail.

We can't march with Anna Nicole, cause she's dead.

We can't march with Michael Jackson, cause he's out of the country.

So if we want the attention of the "serious" mainstream media, we have to take our clothes off.

7. Yeah, screw the constitution.
Crimes automatically make the offending party real popular.

11. By the time impeachment was done, there would be no time left
to confirm a VP.

And, I don't believe it could be Jeb because didn't the Republicans pass a law that you can't appoint family members? (A response to RFK being JFK's AG). I also seriously doubt that a presidential candidate would be nominated for VP - and a smart presidential candidate wouldn't want to tie himself that closely to Bush - especially after a successful impeachment of Cheney.
