Lots of talk recently about "cowering," "scurrying away," "scared rats," "calculating, equivocating, triangulating, straddling, hair-splitting," and so on. Many of us are wondering if our party's leaders sold out, got bribed, got threatened, or maybe even have been neocon moles all along, because there's no opposition in the opposition party. Even with rampant corruption, blatant lawlessness, pissing on the constitution, and historically low approval ratings, the Dem "leadership" can't seem to find anywhere to lead except on their knees to lick Dumbo's butt. Most of the country opposes him, but they seem oblivious and determined to grasp abject submission from the jaws of victory.
Maybe what our mice need is bigger ears to hear with. So let's send them some big ole Mickey Mouse ears to put on their mouse heads, all the better to hear the voice of the people with. Or if you don't want to send the real thing (Who knows how long it will take for Homeland Security to determine that mouse ears sent to mice aren't explosive?), google for pictures and print them out.
Just to show how much talk there is about our leadershipless "leaders," here are some "greatest page" threads from earlier today, just one day, on the subject:
