"They’re the ones in charge and Osama bin Laden is still at loose..."

[Human Torch]

Sen. Mary Landrieu Fires Away

Christy:

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), for one, decided she’d had enough.

"In light of the rantings that went on for 30 minutes by two colleagues from the other side, I’d like to state for the record that America is not tired of fighting terrorism; America is tired of the wrongheaded and boneheaded leadership of the Republican party that has sent six and a half billion a month to Iraq while the front line was Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. That led this country to attack Saddam Hussein, when we were attacked by Osama bin Laden. Who captured a man who did not attack the country and let loose a man that did. Americans are tired of boneheaded Republican leadership that alienates our allies when we need them the most. Americans are most certainly tired of leadership that despite documenting mistake after mistake after mistake, even of their own party admitting mistakes, never admit they do anything wrong. That’s the kind of leadership Americans are tired of."

She concluded,

"I’m not going to sit here as a Democrat and let the Republican leadership come to the floor and talk about Democrats not making us safe. They’re the ones in charge and Osama bin Laden is still at loose."

1. K&R!

:kick:

[blondeatlast]

2. WORD.

I know many will slag her just because she's considered the rw of the party--and she isn't left enough for my tastes, I'll say it now--but she told it like it is.

That's the kind of talk we need from all of them.

[Johnny Noshoes]

5. She may be the rw of our party

but hell man truth is truth Rock On Senator. She isn't left enough for me either but she spoke truth.

3. K&R'd AWESOME....Reality and Sanity was let loose....more evidence

Common Sense is also making a comeback

[Human Torch]

4. Now that Rove's entered "attack mode," common sense is critical.

:patriot:

[opihimoimoi]

14. We need to out Rove with the Higher Level...with Truth and Common Sense

We need to define our attack with shit they cannot refute unless they use Delusion...cause that is all they got

[TheFarseer]

6. It's amazing

Republicans can get all up in arms that Clinton didn't capture/kill Osama when it wasn't clear he had even done anything, but Bush can't find him in 5 years of all out war since 9/11 and that's just fine!

8. Osama WHO? Contrast with W's speech the other day, here:

They want us to conveniently forget him. We need to throw him in their face at every opportunity.

[OnionPatch]

9. A very good point that bears repeating

Thank you. :)

[reality based]

7. This should be the theme for the next two months n/t

[Straight Shooter]

10. LOL. Did she deliberately say "boneheaded" cuz it sounds like Boehner?

Boehner, Repub from Ohio, house majority leader who replaced the Hammer, now known as the Bent Nail.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

11. Boehn-headed, like the House

[Human Torch]

12. Good possibility...

...but no matter what the intention, her message came through loud & clear.

:toast:

[bvar22]

13. The Democrats WON WorldWar 2....

...in LESS time than the Republicans have been looking for Osama!!!

The Anthrax Terrorists, the ones who attacked the US AFTER 9-11, are also STILL FREE, and the Republicans aren't even looking for them anymore.
YEAH, these assholes are going to keep us safe......NOT!

BTW: Gooooo Landrieu. Not my favorite, but give credit when due. A torrent of E-Mail from the REAL Democrats congratulating her may have a liberalizing effect on her.

[blondeatlast]

15. Great point.

And I like the idea of e-mail support, I'm on it now.

God--please let our guys keep speaking out like that!

[blondeatlast]

16. Landrieu contact info--let's support a tough talker even if she's not

as left as we'd (I'd, anyway) like:

17. This belongs on the home page and the vid needs pushed up.

It's our Dems fighting back--HARD--don't miss it.
