Poll question: Are the Democrats secretly in control of the Federal Government right now?

Thought given some of the questions/posts here I may be un aware of who's really in power? :eyes:

[MojoXN]

1. Uh huh...

[aquart]

What a bizarre question. Also ridiculous.

[mzmolly]

10. It's meant to address the questions about Democrats handling of the NO

crisis.

[H2O Man]

2. No.

The democrats are in a position to become a government in exhile, however.

[mzmolly]

8. I'd gladly follow them into exhile.

*sigh*

[H2O Man]

17. Better yet

we will walk back with them to reclaim our land. And we just might start singing Bob Marley's song "Exodus."

[mzmolly]

18. I'm there!

:hi:

[Ediacara]

Ya, I wish...

Who knows though, they may be soon LOL

[AlCzervik]

3. you mean an actual shadow government? I doubt it. Do you know something

we don't?

[mzmolly]

7. No, I'm just responding to all those insulting the Democratic handling

of the NO crisis when Democrats are not in charge. That's the reason who we elect for President is so important. Presidents get to put fourth budgets that gut relief efforts as this loser President has.

4. They could be

if they had a pair.

This coculd be used to destroy the Republican Party forevermore.

But the so-called Democratic "Leadership" are scared of their own shadows, so of course thwy won't seize the moment and take charge.

Hell, the silence from Hillary Clinton alone has been deafening.

[mzmolly]

6. Hilary Clinton made a statment today. But when the media covers

the hurricane 24/7 they don't ask Dems what they think. They will soon I'm certain.

So far Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the CBC, Clark, Edwards, Kucinich and others have held Bush accountable. They are all Democrats.

[Walt Starr]

9. Got a link to her statement?

BTW, Clark, Edwards, and Sharpton are not part of the Democratic Leadership. Not one of them holds elected office.

Kucinich, though not part of the leadership per se, has demonstrated real leadership for quie some time.

[mzmolly]

11. We don't have an official leadership.

I don't have a link but it was posted here. I'll check for it.

[H2O Man]

12. They are not

part of the congressional leadership. But they are part of the democratic leadership. I think that you are both right: the congressional leadership is reacting with silence, because they are afraid of being accused of "playing politics." The real leadership, which in congress is the Black Caucus, and in the greater society includes Edwards, Clark, and Jackson, represents the interests of those in NO.

[mzmolly]

14. Here is her statement:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/02/AR2005090202079.html

One must read between the lines, but I'm sure this is the beginning of things to come.

She has not criticized Bush directly as Clark and Edwards have. But as I said - I expect more in the future.

5. There should be a "Fuck No" option somewhere in there. nt

[Old Vet]

15. thats 2 votes--Fuck No

[kenny blankenship]

13. Uh yeee-aaah... that must be it!

that must be why the Government, in the fifth year of G.W. Bush's Administration, is blowing HOMELAND SECURITY so badly.
The DEMOCRATS must be in charge...somehow.
It looks like a Republican controlled House and a Republican controlled Senate and a Republican Presidency with a Republican appointed majority on the Supreme Court bench, but SECRETLY the Democrats have taken control.

Or else HOW could things be so going so badly?

[DemInDistress]

16. You should ask

Are Democrats being screwed every election cycle by E-Voting machines?
Since 2000 when Clinton Curtis wrote a program that enabled the user to manipulate the vote the Democrats have lost each time 2000-2002-
2004..Something is very wrong here !!
