Let's quit excusing Dems by saying they are letting Chimp hang himself

[joanne]

We are talking about PEOPLE'S LIVES!!

That excuse is ok for certain things, but not this national disaster.

NO WAY.

1. Sadly we'll probably hear that "excuse" two years from now

I learned something this week we have kool-aide drinkers on both sides.

[joanne]

4. There are a few exceptions

Maxine Walters, Dennis Kuchinich, Russ Feingold, maybe a few more. But for the most part they are AWOL.

2. Isn't that the most pathetic thing you ever heard in your life? Talk

about spineless...

3. Can't hang himself

if he's been fed 20 miles of rope. Been hearing inaction explained as "giving him enough rope" for 4 years, so that's the least he's got.

5. What do we have to excuse them for?

At least they are getting money, relief, supplies, shelters,etc. You don't really think it's the republicans doing it, do you. I'm proud of a lot of them - they can talk till hell freezes over but they are in action. Just like Iraq is full of Democratic soldiers & military while the repukes sit home and bitch about unpatriotic Democrats.

7. Exactly...

Their job is not to satisfy people sitting in front of computers bitching that they are not mean enough to Bush...they are doing what they can to help...they are working hard to get relief there.

[joanne]

8. Yes, Dems like Jesse Jackson are working hard

but he is not an elected representative. No surprise to see Jesse there.

6. right on

[EC]

9. What are you talking about?

Many of them have been down there on their own dime rescueing people and others have drawn up requests to help and will present it tomorrow. Look at Raw Story's site. And by the way Al Gore made several trips in a chartered plane and got out more than 140 people...

10. He is hanging himself. And Dems did step up and needed to until

the army was actually really sent in. Now they are attacking big oil? Why bother going after Bush. He is a patsy.

11. Not trying to be glib

but I have no idea what point you are trying to make. Who are we excusing, and for what? And, for whatever it is we are excusing the "Dems" for, who exactly said that the excuse was that they are "letting chimp hang himself"? Enlighten me.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

12. The Dems gave * plenty of rope and he's choking them with it!!

13. they're just using that as an excuse to cover their asses . . .

if you don't do or say anything, the worst thing you can be accused of is not doing or saying anything . . .
