I'll keep this short and bitter. Every god damned blue state senator who failed to sign on to the Alito filibuster MUST be fought in the primaries and replaced. The Democratic party has failed the rank and file members.
It is time to take back the Democratic party from the right wing, loser hacks who have been fumblingly, failingly controlling it and the candidates put forward. I can't believe how many people tell me that they believe the DLC and right wing democrats are really Republican operators.
IN the OpEdNews.com/Zogby people's poll I just ran in Pennsylvania, about 29% of the respondents were liberals or progressives. With 51 percent of the respondents being democrats, that means that 58% of the democrats are liberal or Progressive. We ARE the majority.
If a stab-us-in-the-back senator in a blue state failed to suppor the filibuster we MUST find strong, tough candidates to run against and BEAT them. We must raise money for candidates, even if they are not running in our states.
We, the Progressives and liberals must define the issues. We must tell our elected officials what to do. This was the last straw. We need to draw up a list of these traitors to democracy and take them out of the political arena. I bet they'll end up on some corporation's payroll.
We need leaders who will go to congress and not be cowed by the seniority system. They represent constitituents who are just as important as the senior members. So F**K the seniority system. F**k Barack Obama for selling out the people who put their trust in him.
Here's the list of the "Democratic" senators who betrayed us.
Akaka (HI), Baucus (MT), Bingaman (NM), Byrd (WV), Cantwell (WA), Carper (DE), Dorgan (ND), Inouye (HI), Johnson (SD), Kohl (WI), Landrieu (LA), Lieberman (CT), Lincoln (AR), Nelson (FL), Nelson (NE), Pryor (AR), Rockefeller (WV), Salazar (CO)
Ad Bob Fertik, of Democrats.com, said, "There was no reason for this betrayal. We only needed 40 of the 45 Democrats to sustain a filibuster."
Some of them hail from solid Red states. We can't blame them. But the ones from blue states and purple states should be treated like wanted criminals and removed from their positions of trust and power. It's not having people who call themselves democrats when they fail us when it matters most. These lowly cowards should have treated this fight like a war and supported the filibuster even if it meant taking an election bullet. I believe the action would have gained them votes. It would have forced Bush to submit a candidate who would actually be good for the US, unlike the unworthy liar he's appointed.
I would say that we are now in a state of war, but the right wing has been at war with the american people for a long time. Today, we learned of the traitors in our midst. We know what to do with traitors. And we need to act fast.
6. Just goes to show you one thing
No matter how much they've taken over all three branches of government,
No matter how much they're agenda is taking over the entire American system,
No matter how much they're allowed to run free and roughshod over everything this country was built upon,
the freepers will NEVER be happy or satisfied.
DU is the gift that just keeps on giving. The unbridled tinfoil-hattery never ceases to amuse.
Oh yeah its amazing isnt it?
They are on suicide watch, while we are jubilent and they claim we are deeply saddened!
Those people honestly dont have thier gears engaged
I really am not familiar with OpEdNews.com . How much does this stuff represent the opinion of the left?

Has anyone told them that the unions and the old media are all but dead?
Looks like the baby killers are on the war path. Threatening that little humanist ritual with constitutional judges is going to invoke the bowels of hell, apparently. I would not want to be a Democrat Senator right now. They can't get too close to Republicans; but they can get close enough to stab one of their own in the back.
The trouble with the Left is a lot of the Lefty loudmouths THINK they know politics.
This idiot obviously knows bupkis about Senatorial politics, and should shut his ignorant piehole but pronto.
Fortunately, Lefties like this can't even tell when they're peeing on their own shoes, and so continue onward... ;-)
Coming soon A great SotU speech, taxcuts and the excecution of Saddam.
Well, at least they got it right. And isn't the taste of 50 years worth of payback gonna be SWEEEEEEET!
Now yer just rubbing it in! L0L
Hillary and Nancy leave a legacy of this rabid, insane left.. the little people actually believe the baloney they have been fed ,and now that the left has no way possible of delivering on their crazy power play antics- the left is screwed... now watch everyone shift right and try to get those undecideds... Hehe.... what a hat dance this Democrat lie festival is becoming.
Justice Stevens will b 86 on April 20. He will be 88 before the end of Bush's term. Several justices have lived to see their 90th birthday, but I think only one justice in U.S. history has stayed on the court past his 90th birthday--Oliver Wendell Holmes. Blackmun retired at about the age Stevens is now--Holmes may have been the only one to continue to serve in his late 80s.
Basic Math for DUmmies:
GWB won 31 states.
John F. Kerry won 19 states.
So 62 Senators are in Red states; 38 Blue. No wonder the Senate is trending Republican.
Even the lunatic who wrote this column admits that red-state 'Rats can't afford to Kerrybuster (just like a filibuster only fake). So if the few 'Rat Senators in blue states hadn't crossed over, they would have lost 66-31. Losing by more than 2-to-1 is an asskicking in anyone's book.
But if the DUmmies and other losers on the Left want to run the six crossover 'Rats out of town, I'm all for it. That makes it more likely we'll have over 60 Senators eventually and the filibuster will be dead.
Yes, we have most of the guns. (grin)
Lienenkugels over here please :)

The hypocrisy of this statement would be embarrassing, except that I am pretty sure I have it figured out - - there is not a doubt in my mind that Rob Kall is a Republican operative, and the rant posted above is clever satire. (Good work, Rob!)
