Democrats are lying. To themselves. As a lifelong, donation-giving Democrat, and a staunch and proud liberal, I have, alas, had it up to the gills with my party.

And that is what I expect of my representatives in Washington--especially in this time of near-theocracy in our country. I want to hear Democrats stand up and loudly and passionately and clearly state that they are pro–human rights, pro-gay rights, pro-same-sex marriage rights, and pro-choice!
And while they’re at it--evolution and global warming and the Big Bang are not theories! Oh, and thunder is not the angels bowling. I want to hear the Democrats denounce the Republicans’ attack on the poor! Denounce this administration’s handling of every single domestic crisis and issue since the White House was taken in the political coup of 2000.
Democrats have to stop being verbose or thoughtful or strategic. They shouldn’t be standing on the sidelines waiting mutely for the Republicans to self-destruct. They should be furious! Bush and his cronies have destroyed our country--our international credibility, our human rights standing, our military pride, our economy, our educational system, our health care, our workforce, our environment--all while making themselves and their pals rich! And they’re so damn obvious about it! Adding insult to injury, Bush then has the nerve to announce that we’re “addicted to oil”? No! Really? As if Karl Rove had just invented the idea that morning! Gore was talking about alternative energy sources back in the ’90s! And idea that seems to have only just now occurred to Bush. Of course, Al wouldn’t campaign on it, due to some moronic advice from “Democratic consultants” who seem to have some kind of magic wand that turns every viable candidate we have into mewling kittens.
