Senator Feingold post @ DKos:"A Collapse for Democrats"

[SaveOurDemocracy]

This situation is a collapse for Democrats. We had a strong start, pushed back against the President’s failed policy and held our ground that the supplemental should include binding language to end the war. But now, as Congress gets ready to send the President a bill that does nothing to get our troops out of Iraq, we are just folding our cards. As one person commented under Greg Sargent’s great post at TPM cafe, "Send the Congressional Dems over to my place for some poker - I could use a windfall right now."

This is no time to back down. This fight to end the war isn’t something that we can just put off or kick down the road. As mcjoan pointed out, it doesn’t make any sense to wait until this "mythical September" when Republicans will suddenly decide that we need to get out of Iraq. Why should this wait until September? First Americans had to put up with a Republican Congress that did nothing, and now we are faced with a Democratic Congress that is giving the President exactly what he wants – continuing his failed policy and leaving our troops stuck in the middle of a civil war. Some strategy. We can’t back down when the stakes are so high....

1. pardon me, but I object to your name.

That's ok, I've had objections to my name, many times.

But, the problem is WHAT DEMOCRACY is left to save?
Feingold is right on, and I thank you for bringing this up.

What a fucked up fucking fuck, fuck up, fuck-ed fuck this is. Without the sex.

3. What absolutly what have the democrats done since they were elected.

to bring our troops home.....these investigations are a farce. Gonzales is still there filling the DOJ with more partisan hacks. Rove is still there pulling his underhanded dirty filthy tricks against the American people. They haven't even called the *&^%&*( to testify yet.

So what did we vote for in November..Damn I am upset. What is most distressing is WE WERE LIED TO BY OUR OWN PARTY...and that = my fellow DU's is what hurts most of all.
