I'm tired of excuses for Dems not getting in Bush's face. I don't care ...

[European Socialist]

about their districts or past voting record. These people run for office to be leaders-and if they cant see the need to fight this extremely dangerous person that is in the White House, then they don't have the right stuff to be in Congress.

1. You are right. The Republicans in congress are standing up to Bush more.

THAT IS SOOOOOOO SAD!

WHERE ARE YOU?!!!

[Harry S Truman]

2. One thing I've noticed...

even when Dems are in his face, the MSM never touch it. Edwards was a perfect example of this last fall. He was on Bush for weeks, yet all I ever saw on TV here in Pa. was that lying sack of sh*t Cheney. Dems have no MSM voice.

Destroy all media.

3. they have no balls...Paul Wellstone had balls.

4. Yeah, I'm in Maine and even Snowe and Collins have been

making more waves than some of the other Dem senators out there.

5. I Agree

I am so sick of these wimpy Democrat leaders. Bush has to go! Fight him, dammit!

6. They fear the ridicule of the media.

And being associated with "the left". If shrub-0 goes down, the republicans will take him down. Not the dems.

7. Let's hope so....

I don't think we survive 3 more years of Smirk.

8. You're right on. Most dems are business-as-usual COWARDS. n/t

9. I agree. I was so angry at Durbin I had to skip a luncheon with him.

I was afraid I might do something I would regret down the line, If you get my drift.

My post below is a perfect example of a no brainer win win attack point.

11. Another oil related lost opportunity.

Bush said energy companies didn't need incentives because of high prices. The dems could of pounced on that in the Energy Bill and made a public stink. Nope, just give away billions. GOP pays no price for their corporate welfare.

Lourey, Rowley to join vigil at Bush ranch
Dane Smith and Greg Gordon, Star Tribune
August 17, 2005

Two Minnesota moms at the forefront of the anti-Iraq war movement, one of whom recently lost a son in the fighting, are flying to Crawford, Texas, on Thursday to join Californian Cindy Sheehan's expanding, and increasingly controversial, protest near President Bush's ranch.

State Sen. Becky Lourey, whose son, Matt, was killed piloting an Army helicopter earlier this year, and FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley, a recently declared DFL candidate for Congress who spoke out early against invading Iraq, said they will join the stakeout at "Camp Casey" -- named in memory of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, 24, who was killed more than a year ago.

12. I'll give them a pass

on their district -- since that's who they were elected to represent.

But I don't see NY as a conservative stronghold, and the senators from NY have been abismal (note, NY came to me first, but is by no means the only example).

Where are the Newt Gingrich's of the left???? I want to turn on C-Span every day and see 1-3 reps on that night lambasting the administration. It worked, but it required work and effort.
