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.
The author of this is howling at the moon! It was the smart move and they will be fine. Those following their counsel will destroy the Dems.
Er......,on the other hand, hang the traitor bastards!!!
That is SOOOO over the top.
Makes me wonder if Lowell Weicker will challenge Joe Lieberman.
I thought about becoming one but I just don't have the stomach to even pretend to be a democrat.
Man, they're just getting more and more need of medication, aren't they?
It's like standing over an insect battle and watching them tear each other apart. You just want to keep them from crawling up your legs....
Wow.
sounds as though some of the "real" traitors may have been outed, and are due for their butt kicking.....
these demonrats deserve as much. I am overjoyed the "real"
traitors have opposition in their own demonrat party.
LIVE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man, this is sweet! Can anyone say MELTDOWN! :-)
"Right wing democrats" -- gotta love it.
United We Stand
Divided They Fall...................
Every now and then, even a blind pig snorts up an acorn.
LIVE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Delusional about being in the majority.
It's no wonder they keep losing, what a bunch of lunatics - it's GREAT !!!!! lol
It is time to take back the Democratic party from the right wing
