Where the hell are our Dem representives on Gannon?
Why aren't they united and in gear demanding answers?

The MSM have proved they are definetely a right wing arm of he white house due to their lack of coverage, but where the hell are our senators and house members on this?

Unbelievable.

1. Other than Conyers and Slaughter (with a cameo walkon from Lautenberg)
They're off getting their pink tutus pressed.

Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 07:34 PM by Skidmore
how they are going to sabotage Howard Dean and to outBush *.

Gannon aside, they can't come up with a cohesive messge on SS or medicaid or Iran.

8. And especially Kerry when you think of it-- where is John Kerry???
Here he has the opportunity to really do something positive and he is silent.

6. And biden goes on Bill Maher and says the right thing-- but's thats on HBO
with a limited audience. All it takes is enough making a a coalition of the willing coming out with daily strong statements to keep this story on top. I just don't get it.

4. I wondered the same thing
back in 1972. The story of the Watergate break-in made the papers in August with little attention paid to it. Nothing at all concerning the break-in or a connection to the White House was brought up during the presidential campaign.

5. It appears they are delegating battles.
It's the only way they can keep up with the right-wing shit piled deep.

Some are committed to budget, some to military, some to voters' issues, some to intelligence, some to the obscene propaganda, etc.

He's the only one with a mouth.

9. Biden spoke about it on Bill Maher's Real Time show. Also,
two Dem. representatives demanded by letter an investigation, and wrote a follow-up letter.

Other than that, I haven't heard much. But this is picking up steam, as well it should.

11. Biden also said that it takes a Committee Chairman
to bring up charges to investigate. With the Repugs controlling all, it's hard for the Dems to break out. But I still don't understand why the Dems don't push to lay the pressure on and force the issue one way or another.

14. They have the power to "make a record" and,...
,...do covert work and,...count on us to keep the pressure on the media and get the word out about what's happening.

Now, more than ever,...we must find our strength and energy to get the word out!!!

20. That's right. I'd forgotten that.
I hope Biden mentions this again on some other shows.

10. Where the hell have they been whenever after the elections??
They are as guilty as the Bushistas (with very few exceptions like Boxter). They aren't talking to the foreign media, the aren't even complaining in the US - no! - they are VOTING for the mass murderes and torturers!

And some of you WONDER why the foreign media don't report on what's going on in the US?

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

13. They are afraid that Bush/media will "hit them back."
So they choose to lose 2006 as an alternative.

17. At least 80% of the Dem party are...
Rethug Lite weasles slurping at the corporate trough. Dems that think the majority of the Dem party actually represent the people that voted for them are naive at best and delusional at the tail end.

19. Some say the story is just beginning to get steam.
But I heard the same kinds of comments with the election fraud and the dems did nothing about that either.

I'm hoping for the best - but expecting very little from them.

in his little black book & how many stars they have next to their name.
