I'm taking this General .. Democrats in the House ? Yes ?
I think I just came up with at least a semi decent post, which I fear will never be seen and I'm just egotistical enough to think someone might want to read and comment, so . I don't usually do this .. It was sparked by this very long thread that turned into other stuff .. content got lost.
It can be found at >

But more importantly, here is my lost post >

I was relieved to read interviews
with Hillary this week that indicate at least she is now saying what needs to be said.

I do some phone work for Democratic fund raising, and people are mad as hell.
They sure support the cause, but have huge questions about who among elected officials are supporting the cause. One of the biggest complaints is we don't hang together. We have no plan. They keep going along with Bush. etc. Things I understand completely. So I had to come up with an answer because we don't stand a chance with the Republicans. We can't just throw up our hands and go home. But she made the point, the same one I came up with, which we don't think about or emphasize enough, is, the Democratic party is a populous party. We are the big tent. We are not the narrow brain traumas of the right. "Doing Something" means different things to all of us. We don't have narrow agendas. We don't focus on the negative and seek to take out the cancer of oh say abortion? human rights? We are not aiming at targets. WE are trying to open the gate. This battle is so misunderstood. Hillary FINALLY said she is proud of our debates. That as Liberals, we HAVE to disagree. There is no other way. We are the ones who are open to honest debates. Republicans have a rule book and nothing budges from that. That is the choice. Freedom or bondage. Right now we are in bondage. Elect a Democrat and give us all a chance.

***
huh?

I will add here that this in no way exonerates her from deriliction of duty. People are really pissed off at her. But she finally said something sensible and others will hear it. Hell yes we are individuals. And united. Our unity is just not the mutant mindless of the right! Hello.
Maybe I'm making too much of this, but I think it is missed. They feel free to hammer us on public airwaves because we advocate personal freedoms. How is that possible or admissable in 2006 "America"? Someone has done something wrong. And it sure is not freedom fighters.
Damn I'm on a rant.

It's against the rules to continue a discussion outside of its original thread.
