Don't like what a certain Progressive or Liberal lawmaker is saying or doing?

Fine. Criticize the speech or action, but don't trash stand up people in the House or Senate.

Don't characterize Barbara Boxer as a mouthpiece because of a plan she supports of splitting Iraq. Could it be, she genuinely sees it as a helpful move?

Don't call Leahy a coward or clown becuause he voted for the MoveOn resolution, disregarding 32 years of liberal advocacy on a wide range of issues. I have my guesses on why he voted for it: none involve cowardice or being a "clown".

Don't call Waxman or Conyers useless. They've done and continue to do a lot. It may not measure up to your exalted and probably impossible standards, but that hardly means they're useless.

The leadership leaves a lot to be desired. Individual dems are working their butts off to effect positive change and mitigate the disatrous policies of bushco.

rant off.
