39. People like me...
are not satisfied with a few crumbs to shut them up.

This little wish list that the corporate-owned Democrats came up with doesn't address fundamental problems. It chips away at a couple issues, and gives Bush carte blanche to deliver the promise he made in his innaugural speech: to bring his brand of justice and democracy to all corners of the globe.

Let me ask you: Are you going to be one of the 40,000 signing up? Unless you are, you ought to think twice about supporting it.

With 45 million people in this country without healthcare, do you really think the Dem leadership is addressing that by allowing us to buy drugs off the Internet?

As far as your final point. You can't legislate respect. Soldiers are cannon fodder to the Bush Regime. He just threw himself the biggest garrish party this country has ever seen, while men and women are stuck in Iraq like sitting ducks or as prisoners in so-called Green Zones. And we are in it for years unless people start speaking up and demanding more of our leaders.
