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.
YEEAAAAUUUGGGHHH!

51% x 29% = oh, I dunno... 14.79%.
NOT a majority.
Pointy Haired Boss: "What do you take me for?"
Dilbert: "Not an idiot savant. They can do math."
Notice that the dims always count the independent as a dim? Not that I can argue with it, but its telling.
Honestly, I don't know WHEN I've had so much fun!
I do starting worrying when I see words like this "we know what to do with traitors." How long before the left in America gets violent and are we "conversatives" ready for it?

Maybe I am just slow tonight but can somebody help me understand his math on this.
I know what you mean. I can't even bring myself to get on any of their mailing lists to keep an eye on what's going on. I could never pretend to be a Democrat (capital D).
Ever notice how bitter, angry, and vile these leftists are? I have never ever heard or known a lefty that was ever in a good mood. Always ticked off about something, and always using curse words to try and make their points. I guess if you only have half a brain you have to use curse words because you don't know any other ones.
Yes. What is badly needed in this country is a breakaway Progressive Party that will get a solid 20% of the vote, and successfully scare 20% of the remaining dims into voting Republican.
Republicans 60%
Progressives 20%
Democrats 20%
I can live with that. The dims and commies will spend all of their time blaming and triangulating each other, while the Republicans move to the right.
It is SO sweet to see the Ditch Witch come back and haunt the pols and MSM who created her!
"right now things are interesting."
Indeed they are.
Now if only another Supreme Court vacancy were to occur...
Isn't there some obscure Senate rule that states that a filibuster can be attempted again tomorrow morning before the final vote on Alito's confirmation? Oh please, please, PLEASE(!) moonbats, please try to find that obscure rule and detonate it !!!
/sarc off
"The Democratic party has failed the rank and file.."
Loons.
There is heavy D.C. buzz about a retirement this summer.
I think we're waaaaay past medicating here. This is more and more small padded room type of stuff. With daily electroshock therapy.
