Democrats have not failed us, Rubber stamp republicans have.

[pwb]

Rove has made us the bad guy and we are falling for it again. Lately the reading here on D U has been right out of Karl roves playbook. disinformation, impatience, democrats can't do anything right, democrats fail to get things done, all from Karl rove. never mind republicans not joining us to stop the war. it is the republicans who are afraid of bush not us. they call it loyalty, i call it fear. so can we please blame the rubber stamp bush republicans for some of these setbacks..
or has Karl fooled us again? Stay on track people. peace

1. Thank you.

[keopeli]

2. Sorry, I'm not a Dem robot. I call it like it is. Dems pay for the war, then they own it. Sad. nt

[pwb]

6. i am not a rove robot

3. I wish they would have showed more spine, but it's Senate Repugs who failed

us the most (other than Chimpy, of course). Let's keep that in mind.

[ClassWarrior]

4. Amen. Well said.

NGU.

[blondeatlast]

11. Indeed. nt

5. I wonder how many have been sleeper cells?

[Forkboy]

10. Talk about right out of the Rove playbook.

:eyes:

[William769]

16. As I have told you before, if the shoe fits.

[Forkboy]

17. So you admit that your statement was Rove-like.

"sleeper cells"?

Yeah...the show fits just right,I'd say.

[William769]

18. No I admit to sleeper cells.

And antagonistic little pricks.

[DemDem07]

19. Grow up!

[Forkboy]

20. Anyone is particular?

Either the sleeper cell stuff or the antagonistic little pricks?

Do tell...

[pwb]

21. why? the back and forth on sleeper cells? don't get it

[atreides1]

7. Please

The Democrats could have fought, or at least not thrown the fight in the second round! We already knew that the Repukes would rubber stamp this, but now they have Democratic support as well, and they will make sure to point that out between now and the 2008 elections.

Rove may have predicted that this would happen but it was the Democrats not Rove who were swaggering around making big noises about how things were going to be different, how they were not going to give Bush a "blank check", how this was "the beginning of the end" of this failed policy in Iraq!

So much for all their bravado.

[pwb]

13. yes i know, things happen slowly in d c .

i want the war over now. but patience is needed too.

[yourout]

8. We expect Pukes to behave like Pukes.

We also expect the Dems we helped elect to show some backbone and stand on principals.

[Bluerthanblue]

9. they both have failed us- and the american people have

failed ourselves and the world-

Complacency, based on apathy, substance abuse (from drugs, to things, to food, to power) will be our downfall unless something major changes.

[leftupnorth]

12. if you vote for the war, you have failed as a Democrat and as a human being.

[mmonk]

14. So it's all an illusion created by Rove.

[pwb]

15. thats funny, the kool aid packets.

wish i knew how to insert things like that.

[GeorgeGist]

22. You're almost right ...

Rove (and his pundit media) has played the Dem leadership as the no-brainer guys. And they fell for it.

[Blue-Jay]

23. Karl Rove kicked my wife and fucked my dog.

That's how evil he is.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

24. So, we should trust the collaborationists who enable the Republicans?

I think not.

[Lerkfish]

25. so, any who disagrees with caving into Bush is playing into Rove's hands?

:crazy: :wtf:

[EFerrari]

26. These are not mutually exclusive options.

The Democratic leadership has chosen a political strategy that isn't satisfying to their base and that may or may not cover them in 2008. Rove is Rove.
