When FOX tells the truth, it's time for the Democrats to speak out
People are suffering on a massive scale in New Orleans. If what Shep Smith and Geraldo Riviera are reporting is true, people who need help are not getting it. This is not a matter of political gain. This is a matter of speaking out for Americans. If Osama held 30000 Americans captive and treated them like people are being treated in New Orleans, Democrats would be all over the issue without a second thought. The Bush Administration has failed and failed in a major, catastrophic way. It's time to speak out and demand immediate, no cost be spared, no excuse be made help. Now.

4. I don't really think we have to spread this story
I think their incompetence and wacked out priorities speak for themselves. I get the feeling that all across America, people are now convinced that this guy is a terrible leader. We only need to help people tell their story.

6. We have to show we can lead. We have to show we care.
The Republicans and the corporate media have convinced America the Democrats can't do anything right. It's not enough to show Bush is an idiot. That's obvious. We have to show we can step up and speak the truth when it needs to be said.

8. The only Dems that speak out are members of the CBC
why don't some of these very rich Democrats rent some buses and some drivers and get these people the fuck out of there - there has to be military bases or churches or schools or whatever to take these people to. Why don't can't we get some out by plane - is the airport operating - I just don't get this Think about it if there are 30 thousand people left - then have each freaking state take a thousand each or so - this is so god damn frustrating
