I'll see yer Murtha & Cleland, & raise ya' a Waters & a Conyers.

I got a good hand here, John Murtha, Max Cleland, Maxine Waters, John Conyers, Democratic fighters you can win with. These are the Democratic leaders I have the most respect for, the ones who can stand up in a storm and survive. The ones who speak truth to tyranny, boldly, clearly, plainly, defiantly.

Help me with a few more names here. We need Anti-liebermans, we need vocal and solid opponents of the neo cons, not appeasers, cut and runners, and white flag wavers, but fighters. Who among our elected Democratic leaders are the fighters for our nation?

We could have a winning hand, in this game full of cheats. We need a full house of kings and queens.

4. If one allows a few from the deck of senators,

Fine Gold is almost a royal flush all by himself.

The problem is there are waaay too many jokers in the deck.

5. LOL!

I used a poker metaphor in your other thread. :D

Dennis Kucinich, Al Gore, Barbara Boxer, Barbara Lee, Russ Feingold, Shiela Jackson Lee, Henry Waxman, Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean... et al.
