I didn't spend 24 years supporting and defending the Constitution

[BOSSHOG]

to listen to a bunch of you whiners bitch about John Kerry. Get it out of your system then get back on the horse. We got a country to win back. If you want to sit on your ass and feel sorry for yourself, fine. Others will do the heavy lifting; even though without your help the task will be a little harder, but that's okay. Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of my party. I suggest we vent through Christmas then hit congress hard with emails and messages about:

THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE
TAX EXEMPT STATUS FOR CHURCHES
A PLAUSIBLE EXIT STRATEGY
- ADD YOUR CAUSE HERE (YOU PEOPLE ARE A LOT SMARTER THAN ME)

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS NOT DEAD. I AM A PROUD LIBERAL DEMOCRAT AND WILL BE UNTIL THEY PASS MY FLAG TO MY WIFE.

1. TAX EXEMPT STATUS FOR CHURCHES

Amen to that! Let's get on this now!!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. Relgious Institutions need to be taxed to the hilt.

3. corporate control

There is no other issue. Everything hinges around corporatism, fascism. We lose that war, there's nothing left to fight for.

4. Hear Ye!!

if people freeze or flee, they better not try to take credit later!!!

5. New leaders in the Democratic Party

I for one don't want a repeat of Daschle. We need to get a strong minority leader in the Senate. We need to get the message clear that we aren't going to roll over and vote for his agenda.

6. not to be a buzz killer or anything, but . . .

why would the new, stronger Republican Congress want to listen to anything we have to say? . . . particlarly about the Fairness Doctrine and church tax exemptions? . . .

7. its about trying to change the national debate

They won't listen to us, not right away. But with enough noise, with enough Bills peppering their asses over and over again, with enough bodies calling and calling and calling -- They will have to listen soon.

Our media operates only on volume. The more volume the more control of the debate you have. Look at Newt, he made tons of noise, he's a laughing stock these days but guess what? He paved the way for the neocon take over. Bush would not be in the White House in 2000 were it not for Newt and Helmet Hair Lott.
