Dear Congressional Dems… let me lay it out for you in bullet points
maybe it’s easier to see it this way:
– November 2006 said NO to Bush
*
– the polls say NO to Bush
*
– the low approval of Congress for NOT saying NO to Bush says NO to Bush
*
– the retired military brass say NO to Bush

That means Sen. Durbin, we the people do NOT want you to vote to give president George W. Bush another $200 billion for war. We are afraid he will use to attack Iran… why aren’t you worried, Senator?
That means, Sen. Clinton, when you talk about us being ready for the NEW WAR, you start sounding like one of THEM. Are you talking about Iran?
That means Congressional Democrats MUST STOP any planned attacks on Iran.
That means if we go to Iran, every single Democrat in Washington and in any part of the infrastructure of the Democratic party is complicit with Bush’s decision.
That means that we, the millions upon millions of citizens, do NOT want to hear any more excuses, like the Republicans are going to make you look weak on terror. If any of you had even half a conviction about doing the right thing, the Republican lie would NOT stop YOU from telling the truth. This isn’t about terror. More bullet points:
– it is about war profiteering
– it is about oil
– it is about control
– the terror can be counted by the 100s of thousands of dead, maimed, orphaned, widowed Americans and Iraqis… all committed in the name of democracy. You bastards… corrupting a beautiful word with the blood of innocents…
Are we clear YET?
That means if you, Congressonal Democrats are afraid to do the right thing because the Republicans will make you look weak on terror, YOU ARE WEAK. Weak and without principles. My dog has more principles than any of you.
You know what? I have bigger balls than Dick Cheney and I’m a woman. Because I’m willing to SAY NO MORE… this is a lie and YOU were elected to stop this insanity. I’m willing to say this OUT LOUD.
In fact, declare yourselves… let us know where you stand… so we can decide if we stand with you or if we need to move on from you and find other solutions… another party… or better yet, kick you all out and find netroots candidates who will uphold the principles of the Democratic party and, not to overlook it, our Constitution.
Let me put it this way: if you Congressional Dems are afraid, then we need to find people to send to Congress who are not afraid.
And if you’re not afraid, then what are you, the people’s elected representatives, waiting for? Or are you all complicit in the policy-making of George W. Bush’s administration? Somebody, give me some other options…
… cause this isn’t working for me. Is it working for any of you?

If it weren’t for NPK you’d have the Rec List all to yourself.
Thanks for the content.
and im all for working ‘outside’ the system if we must…but not ignoring the system in the process.
we can begin to weed out ‘weak’ dems WHILE we do whatever else we need to..but dont leave the line-toers in place thinking we’ll be able to undermine the entire system eventually. that would be a too much like what the dems are doing now…
im waiting through sept, but come october, if i dont like the actions/reactions of the dems to the hearings, etc, im mailing a penny to every elected dem in the federal government, with a ‘not one more penny from me’ message. i have the pennies…i just need to buy the stamps…d’oh…
and just for a giggle…
with few exceptions the democrats are already fully complicit in every regard….
this why they are afraid to impeach or change course…….
