Democrat Leaders, either Lead, Follow, or get the hell out of the way

when a republican asshole says something outrageous and stupid, DON'T let it slide o.k.? that's what we give you the big bucks for remember? and DON'T apologize, they won't, so let's don't either.

when they start to lie, call them on it immediately and loudly, and don't back down, they don't, so neither should you.

take the examples of david obey, cynthia mckinney, john conyers, howard dean and ted kennedy and others who HAVE GUTS, and can still remember why they are there in the first place.

and just abandon folks like joe lieberman and daschle and gephardt and any other wishy washy types, let them just go join the other side and forget them.

it's time for bold actions, real opposition, straight talk and resolve, in fact way past time.

2. I don't know. I kind of liked Reid's statment.

"I am deeply disturbed and disappointed that the Bush White House would continue to use the national tragedy of September 11th to try and divide the country. The lesson our country learned on that terrible morning is that we are strongest when we unite together, that America’s power is in its common spirit of democracy and freedom.

"Karl Rove should immediately and fully apologize for his remarks or he should resign. The lesson of September 11th is not different for conservatives, liberals or moderates. It is equally shared and was repeatedly demonstrated in the weeks and months following this tragedy as Americans of all backgrounds and their elected representatives rallied behind the victims and their families, united in our common determination to bring to justice those responsible for these terrible attacks.

"It is time to stop using September 11th as a political wedge issue. Dividing our country for political gain is an insult to all Americans and to the common memory we all carry with us from that day. When it comes to standing up to terrorists, there are no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. The Administration should be focused on uniting Americans behind our troops and providing them a strategy for success in the war on terror and the conflict in Iraq. I hope the president will join me in repudiating these remarks and urge Mr. Rove to take appropriate action to right this terrible wrong."
