Democratic leadership should be going Apeshit!

[Neocondriac]

...Where are they?...Seize the moment !...Be opportunistic , American lives are at stake. WAKEUP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. They'll keep their mouths shut

don't want to politicize the disaster.

[Mr_King]

5. Exactly

They're just giving Bush enough rope to put the noose around his neck. Then when it comes time for the clean up.

Bam!!!

They pull back on the rope and hang him.

Just like then Governor Clinton did to Papa Bush in 1992 after Hurricane Andrew.

You know Carter will be down their to help rebuild and he'll bust Bush in his ass.

[Jacobin]

2. are you kidding me?

if they criticized, they'd just be out apologizing for criticizing the next day.

[Skidmore]

7. It's kinda hard to claim the moral high ground when you've

already built a cabin on the amoral low ground.

[BiggJawn]

19. Yeah, one squawk from Mehlman or Lott...

and they'd be stepping all over their bad selves with the apologies..

[Pithy Cherub]

3. We are!!! The elected politicians are conducting a poll

to see if its OK to speak.

4. i just emailed my two senators

6. The DLC will just say it's too dangerous due to rioting and snipers.

In the meantime, those in the affected areas will deny any rioting or sniping going on, and the remaining Dems (save Conyers, McKinney, and the usual handful) will be MIA, while the usual handful gets nothing more than a couple of blog posts out.

[Mr_King]

12. Is this????

Another reason to rag on the DLC?

[Neocondriac]

8. This is the tipping point...........

......they run the risk of total compliance. Even the ulta-neos are critical of Bush.

[mom cat]

9. Call your "leaders". Keepp up the pressure.

[DemoVet]

10. Wot leadership?

They're mice.

[Don Claybrook]

14. I worry that calling out Bush now, while the world watches may

make us more vulnerable. The world community doesn't need to hear everyone scream how much this effort has been mishandled and how unprepared we actually are in the event of another attack or disaster.

[Dr Fate]

18. Telling the truth is the best thing we can do. Lying wont help a thing.

The world can see that this is being mishandled- so lying about it, or letting Bush's lies go unchallenged is not the answer anymore.

If we continue to let them lie, it will just happen again.

[VADem11]

15. Pelosi spoke out

yesterday demanding a special session of congress whiel Hastert was reluctant. Dems are introducing a bill to shield hurricane victims from bankruptcy law. They are doing stuff.

[Sewsojm]

16. What Democratic Leadership??

I haven't seen any for a long, long time!!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

17. They don't need to say anything. BushCo is their own worst enemy.
