Are your Senators and Reps selling Kerry out?
Has your Senator or Congressman made any statements in the past month regarding Bush's obvious weakness?

Senator Kerry needs help. He can't do this alone. Democrats of stature should be reminding the American public what's wrong with Bush's administration.

His weakness as a thinker is why he invaded Iraq on such flimsy pretexts and then was surprised our lack of legitimacy prevented us from brokering a workable democracy there.

His weakness as a planner and diplomat is why Iraq is going badly. It was a military success followed by a failure to protect their people, infrastructure, and dignity.

His weakness as a leader is why he needed his hand held in a private meeting with the 9/11 comission.

His weakness as a leader is why our trade deficit is soaring and jobs are disappearing.

His weakness as a leader is why we're not moving forward on the health care crisis, education, clean air, public transport, global warming, and many other issues that matter in our daily lives.

Insist your Democratic leaders get moving. Bush has 200 attack dogs snipping at Kerry. Bush has real weakness yet our leaders are silent.

1. That's a hell of a good point
The problem is that, even when they want to help, our Senators and Reps get stiffed for time by Corporate TV Pravda. When they do make it, they have to battle the Bloated Bushevik Host and a stacked deck of Bloated Bushevik Screamers and Weak-Tea Centrist Journalists with Bushevik Leanings.

Not sure whethether what you say is actually occurring or is it the Totalitarian Amerikan Media Fantasy Bubble.

2. My Democratic Senator
(Baucus - MT) is no leader. Even though his moistened finger is continually in the wind, it needs to reach gale-force before he can tell which way it's blowing.

3. Oh please!
Sen. Kerry Is doing fine. Badgering is what sunk dean. I am glad Sen. Kerry took note of that disaster. 200 attack dogs? Where are they? You might want change your media habits or name them. Then I could understand.

Curb your hysteria,and by the way Democrats have their own races to win.

Power is the agent of change. Whining is the target of ridicule.

4. how many Repub attack dogs do you want me to list?
all 200?

It won't be hard to do.

Bush is letting his front line do all the hitting. He just sits back.

They're attacking Kerry about the medals. about the "for it and against it". about "unfit to be commander in chief".

I don't want to list them all.

Only a few Dems are hitting that hard FOR Kerry.

6. ND Represent!

Terry DeVine column: Conrad: Iraq war colossal Bush blunder
http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=55852§ion=News

Byron Dorgan puts the screws to the White House about the "More agents tracking Fidel Castro than Bin Laden" story
http://www.sacbee.com/24hour/front/story/1331552p-8502662c.html

Earl Pomeroy not exactly speaking strongly. Chimes in against the draft. Not much else on Google News "Earl Pomeroy" +Bush

So I'll give Conrad an A. Dorgan a B. And Pomeroy a C.

Not bad for a state that went for Bush in 2000.

But they're not exactly Kerry's footsoldiers either.
