competant and Gonzales was just a waste of a vote. More or less. I know you meant to be snotty, but I thought I'd anwer anyway! Sheesh. And I remember the Gonzales argument. As WH Counsel, The Prez is Gonzales client. They were citing Gonzales's lack of cooperation as aTtorney client priveledge! Therefore, no accountability, not Gonzale's fault! Just representing his client ! Gag!

55. Has it been doing that recently?
It seems like Congressional Dems have hardly been taking it lying down. From what I can tell, we are going to fight on Social Security, we got the most votes against a Sec. of State nominee since 1825, and they are going to be many votes opposing Gonzalez. And Dems have been very active in voicing their clear opposition to Bush policies.

It's been kinda' scary :scared: ya' know.

Geez. I've got a list of 16 Democrats who have become my heroes (and believe me, it takes a LOT of positive proactive GOOD to get on my list).

I want to focus, really focus my anger at those who are 100% responsible for actually creating and imposing the division and hatred and death and suffering that is borne by humanity. I have that list of barbaric predators, too!!! They are the ones who deserve "the club".

I want to focus my HOPE on those who are my heroes and those who need both education/information and ultimatums. They deserve my support.

15. Why stop at DC?
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 05:42 PM by dolstein
Why not purge EVERY Democratic elected official EVERYWHERE? And while we're at it, why not purge every REGISTERED Democrat? After all, they're the ones who voted for the elected officials in the first place.

So let's start with clean slate. No elected Democrats. No registered Democrats. No party apparatus to speak of. And then, like a phoenix, a brand new party will magically arise from the ashes of the old one.

31. They are purging themselves by not fighting the GOP/media.
Just look at 2000, 20002 and 2004.

The old "Stay the course" "lets work with GOP/media liars & criminals so they will be nice to us" wing of the DEMS is doing that better than any old silly thread could do. Just ask Tom Daschele or Max Cleland.

I guess more DEMS need to learn that they too can be impeached, be accused of inventing the internet or faking their purple hearts-even if they play nice- b/f they start kicking some ass.

...an honorable man- but he refused to listen to the voices in his campaign that were telling him to fight the smears against him.

Believe me, he knows that the "Lets be nice and work with the GOP/media" strategy is why he lost.

36. Another cannibalistic thread? What gives with you people. Our Dem's a
currently involved in a superb and well informed debate regarding Gonzales. The only people I have heard claim Gonzales will be confirmed are THUGS. There is a goal here. Part of that goal is to force GWB to have to answer for his crimes. The other part IMHO is to get the information on the record PREVIOUS to any bush attempt to drag this country into another war for democracy in another Arab country which will involve re-instating the draft. Also IMHO Rumsfeld should be shaking in his boots. The Dem's are going to go after him like rabid dogs!

Find something more productive to do with your time. There are any number of actions, petitions, letter writing campaigns, and GOOD causes to get involved in. BASHING the party is NOT one of them. Get over yourself will you?

37. I think you are missing the point.
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 06:27 PM by FrustratedDemInNC
This isn't about being a Dem or Rep, it's holding people responsible for atrocities committed by our country.

I can't support ANYBODY that endorses this nomination. It would be like saying it's OK to violate human rights, international law and rewrite the Constitution.

This is an extremely important decision for many of us. It makes me wonder what it will take for our reps to WAKE THE F**K UP.

What is it going to take for YOU to stop apologizing for Dems who vote yes to confirm this AG.

If you support them, fine but stop jumping on those of us who don't.


Edited to say:
I am extremely proud of the DEMS who are speaking out against AG.

And there are times when I want to say to the ones who state that they're going back to the Greens if the Dems don't do this or that, "Okay, bye."

If we don't represent the Greens interests, it's because we aint' the Greens. We is Dems.
