Does anyone else feel that without Conyers and Black/Progressive Caucus
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 07:34 PM by KoKo01
we would have no "MO JO" anymore in the Dem Party? That with their exception and Dr. Dean's feistiness in going against the Repugs that after this Third Election where we Lost...we would be "dead fish in the water?

There have been "burps and bubbles" from Reid, Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy and a few handful of others.

But...mostly it's been kinda weak...give the POWER and SHOCK AND AWE from the Right. And there's been some piddling stuff from Nader and a few of the "oldie left gard" bloggers, columnists and writers.

BUT: Sy Hersh, Robert Parry, David Podvin and some courageous reporters for WaPo and other BIGGIES MSM (I leave out so that the RW'ingers don't send them "DEATH THREATS") are the very few who are supporting the ANTI-PNAC/ANTI-BUSH DOCTRINE (of "Pre-emptive Strike, etc...yadda, yadda) and that we are really out here fighting on the BLOGS for our very LIFE? :shrug:

2. You're right. Howard Dean, John Conyers, and Barbara Boxer have been...
Leading this party, and forging the path to the truth. Not any thanks to our "special interest group" higher democrats....

8. My Brothers and Sisters Are Not Afraid To Tell The TRUTH

and when they tell it they are really soldiers in the heat of battle.

Dean can tell it like it is too.

If the other Democrats would only get a spine.

The reason we have been having a great week is because the TRUTH is setting a lot of people free in Congress. Even a few rethugs.

4. They are "stalwarts" who seem to have their heads glued on straight.......

I've thought so since election day.

6. They stood up for us during Bush vs Gore in the House
and they fight like hell to this very day for our rights! I think other Dems should take be forced to take notes on what a real Dem (complete with backbone) looks like!

13. The CBC is the best...
I have the greatest respect for those Freedom Fighters and Truthseekers. They are the only group in congress willing to go where others dare not tread. They are to be commended.
