DEMS THIS IS IT !!!....THERE IS NO TOMORROW.
Last night the republicans were scrambling burning the midnight oil, loading up the sludge truck with Hail Mary legislation. They intend to ram it through the doors of both chambers Monday morning as soon as those doors open and dump it immediately on your calendars.

It will be the dirtiest, most contrived, deceitful, no-holds barred desperate force use of despicable majority power possibly ever seen in the US Congress. They have been told for six months they are about to have their private Disneyland come to an end. Felony charges and mean muscular prison cell mates are visible now in their rear view mirror. They will stop at nothing to keep their fingernails still clinging to the edge of that cliff. Absolutely NOTHING !!!


They know that with control of Congress, we’re going to turn them from enablers to inmates. They know we will Ken Star that motherfucker in the White House to death. The one they've been protecting for the last five years. And expose every war crime, high crime and misdemeanor he has ever dared to perpetrate against our cherished Bill of Rights.

They know we'll give him a government all expense paid trip to the Hague, convict him, strap him to an electric chair, tape his eyelids open and make him watch videos of Iraqis getting their heads drilled with quarter inch bits until he's covered with his own puke. Others we’ll just distribute to American prisons.

They know this week they must attempt to intimidate you, insult you, embarrass you with distorted whole cloth manufactured pre-packaged and ready to serve horse shit. Bill names will have titles just the opposite of what they really are. The 2006 Family Security Act will be the Bush Gestapo is authorized to kick down your door anytime they want act. The Preservation Of International Values Against Torture Act will be, Bush will decide whatever fucking torture he wants act. The Fence For Security of America Act will actually be, we need to bleed every dollar we can squeeze out of our stupid base act.

They will dump 200 page reams of legislation on your benches fifteen minutes before you are supposed to vote. They will put one Democratic supported initiative inside of a manure load of other bush expectorate and ridicule that you are voting against your own proposals. They will threaten you with obstructing the will of the people if you don't cooperate.

Don't fall for it!! Don't bend. Don't capitulate. Don't compromise. Don’t negotiate. Do not refer to any republican as my good friend on the other side of the aisle. Nobody on the other side of that aisle is your friend. They're looking out for two things, the corporate money that keeps them in power and whatever they have to do to keep their job. They’d screw over their own grandmothers.


The leak of the National Intelligence Estimate has just opened a cavernous door to their conspiracy the size of the Grand Canyon. They know it and there is no low they won't find too despicable to attempt to derail the impending consequences. They’re as desperate as a bear in a trap that would chew its own leg off.

Today and all this week, let those halls of Congress shake from wall to wall. Take not one step back!! Tell them, torture of detainees or prisoners is NOT negotiable. Not under any president. It never has been and it never will be. Not as long as any Democrat is still alive !!!

Do not cave on FISA. Not one inch. The right to of freedom from invasion of privacy of Americans without probable cause and warrant is not malleable in the constitution. It’s a 200 year indelible guaranteed and incontrovertible right!!

And a Mexican version of the Berlin wall is not the answer to illegal immigration. Competent leadership and diplomacy is. And spending the Treasury money for implementing the 9-11 commissions recommendations to secure our homeland and being in the right fucking COUNTRY to suppress terrorism, is the answer to terrorism.

The fence is nothing but a last minute 90 yard pass being thrown by the REPUBLICANS to their bible kissing, anti Mexican contingent base of creeps so they can claim they delivered something to them on immigration reform in hopes to make them so orgasmic they have to go out and polish the gun racks on their trucks.

Monday is D-day in the wells of your chambers. It is going to be nasty. And it is going to require Mt. Everest size steroids. It is not a choice, it is your duty!!

You have literally enraged me with saving your powder. So many times you said you felt the need to keep your powder dry. You have so much dry fucking powder, you could blot up the Pacific Ocean. There is no more dry powder excuses.

As the Democratic party you are the last bastion firewall beween licensing this war freak tyrannical dictator or standing for our cherished land of the free and home of the brave. The entire world is going to be watching you. You have only one chance to get this right.

This is your equivalent of the Cuban blockade. The gravity is no less depraved. Missiles are heading straight for our constitution and Treaty of the Geneva Convention. It is your job to back these fuckers down and turn them around!!

John F. Kennedy and Harry S. Truman will spiritually be in those bodies, shouting and yelling at you with their heavenly megaphones exorting you, as will we at Democratic Underground and in every home in America that is seeing their country ravaged by this degenerate silk suit mafia, demanding that you stand united. We will write, we will encourage others, we will call, to let you know as you face every challenge, that we are counting on you.

Republicans haven’t done anything in six years. They are going to throw every technical maneuver they can conceive to try to logjam these bills through in hopes of salvaging some of their angry base in the election. They have only this week before they’re toast.

This is not political paintball. You hold the lives of soldiers and everything we ever stood for in your hands. Rip the rubber makeup off the faces of these phony war profiteers and expose them for what they really are.

Square your jaw and don’t take one step backward. Demand the American heritage is not for sale. Never!!! Not for any price. No matter what it takes.

Raise your voices, filibuster, make CNN interrupt their regular programming with breaking news of your refusal to capitulate. Rule 21 those bastards, shut down the Senate and House chambers if you have to, turn off the lights and walk the fuck out of there. Show them the humiliation. Show them this is the United States of America, not the Republican States of America. A United States that does not condone torture. A United States with a Declaration of Independence, a Bill of Rights, and a Constitution.

A nation which sets the standard, not desecrates the standard. A nation that has always been the shining beacon of hope, not the symbol for hate. And a nation that will never know the shame to violate, defile or dishonor International treaties.

You will hear the roar of adulation all the way from Maine to California.


Election night, when that number 218 is flashing on the televisions all over this land, I bet anything JFK and Harry will be smiling. Lady Liberty will wink. And we will fucking take this America back!!!!

29. Sen Reid & Co. should just shut down the Congress. This time
it would be a service to the people, rather than the '96 fiasco in budgetting the R's staged. No $ for Iraq etc. etc. should send a real shot over their bow.

who knows election fraud? Bin Laden's withered body-riddled with bullets?

A powerful demonstration which articulates clearly many of the points you make will help IMHO.

10. You've got me so angry, I had to reply to another comment you made!
About the powder comment, I just remembered something else that Lieberman did that was critical, but his hesitation caused us to lose our adversarial strength:

Remember when he was majority leader and had subpoena powers? I think it was 2002. He could have gone in for the kill right before the mid-term elections, but he hesitated. He could have looked strong before those elections, but instead he ended up adding to the Democratic milquetoast myth, and in so doing the Senate went to the Republicans and four years later we still don't have an investigation that people trust.

Why didn't we see Lieberman for the party traitor he was?

He let Bill Clinton down in 96 when he voted to override Clinton's veto; He let Bill Clinton down again over the Monica Lewinsky mess; He let Al Gore down in 2000 when he didn't put up a fight; He helped the Republicans take over Congress in 2002; He let us all down over the Alito filibuster and now he shows that he has no respect for the Connecticut Democrats by ignoring their decision in the primaries.

Salazar, both Nelsons, epecially that Nebraska mystery. There are many that puzzle me.

If they don't tighten up the wagons and give no quarter this week, I throw up my hands.

15. Print this out...
and fax it to every representative you have -- it't not enough to (excellently) rant on a net board, it has to be shoved in our Rep's faces until they get it.

They need to know any capitulation on this issue is unacceptable from their base. They need to know their jobs are on the line.

That's some clarity and unity of party values NOBODY who calls themselves a Dem should find ambiguous or confusing.
