Boy wow, sometimes it sure seems like the Dems are complicit

[Jackpine Radical]

in the destruction of America. They put up no fight over ANYTHING. I've always tried to make excuses for them, tried to rationalize their inaction. Maybe they're waiting for the right occasion or something.

Yeah, right.

I'm beginning to feel like the abused, codependent spouse who's finally running out of patience with the jerk.

Feingold, Kucinich, Conyers, McKinney, Dean, lately Gore and a few others excepted, I'm getting pretty sick of the whole damn bunch.


Edited to add--BTW immediately after I wrote this I saw the latest from Queen Molly. Right on, Dear.

1. You're not alone

I am getting so depressed and disgusted at the roll-over mentality of these Vichy Dems.

You'd think that as the outrages mount, so would the resistance. Instead, they just get more and more limp.

They're either all bought and sold, or they're scared to death.

[colorado thinker]

3. Dammit, what is there to be scared of?

That if they do something, the military will fail, the economy will fail, the environment will fail? Oh, wait! That's already happening!

(fixed my bad typing/spelling)

[blm]

2. Or they don't get adequate coverage of the work they are doing -

just as corporate media has intended.

4. For whatever reason, the Dems have acheieved G. Gordon Liddy's

visoon for them when the Watergate Conspirators plotted the eventual rise of the One-Party Bushevik State.

Did they follow through on Liddy's "hookers and booze" plan?
Was it the fear of being Wellstoned or Anthraxed, knowing you could die and the perps would get away with it easily, since they would be "investigating" themselves?

It no longer matter why G. Gordon's visionhas come to pass almost exactly as he envisioned it 30+ years ago.

But it has.

5. I've worn a bald spot scratching my head about this for the last 5 years.

Right on! I wish I knew!

10 nay vote on the POS PA. F me harder!

6. Since I heard Pelosi and Reid called Dean on the carpet

the other day, and all this Hillary talk, I'm pretty disappointed.

If McCain gets the GOP nod, I could just stay home if this crap keeps up.

[Deja Q]

7. I forgot what the bill was about, but on CSPAN @ 6:30PM CST,

EVERY repub was unanimous... 19 Dems had defected on the issue. More repubs than dems not voting...

It was about something regarding nutritional labels... but then they had 2 captions and then the guy in the video talking about something the UAE ports deal, it could have been any of those 3 issues...

[mikehiggins]

8. Vichy Dems? THAT is a great label

Whoever came up with that should get a prize.

Maybe we could get teeshirts made up using it, sort of "Fed Up With Vichy Dems" with a montage of our alleged leadership.

Again and again it becomes obvious that the Beltway is the dividing line between the powers-that-be and the rest of us, and again and again it remains obvious that most of our "leaders" are Beltway Dems even if they are presently in statehouses or other local offices.

There is a incredible divide between "us" and "them" and it isn't getting smaller.

[feistydem]

9. I'm with you! Most of the Dems in office now are HUGELY disappointing!

Maybe Bush's wiretapping has made blackmailing the members of Congress a Rovian board game.

[Disturbed]

10. "What is there to be scared of?"

The NSA dosiers?

[eridani]

11. Well, 2/3 of the Dems are on our side about the Constitution-

--as opposed to 5% of Repubs. That's enough difference for me.

[latebloomer]

12. Then why

did most of them vote-- again-- for the Patriot Act?

[eridani]

14. Most of them voted AGAINST the Patriot Act

124 against, 66 for. That means 65% of Dems are on our side.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. Woo Hoo--We have 65% of a minority party on our side.

Hot Damn, just when I thought things were kinda dismal.

[eridani]

21. 65% is still opposition

We need to get Rethugs out as well as to make that last 35% of ours shape up.

[latebloomer]

18. Not in the Senate!

Kerry, Clinton, Biden, Lautenberg, even Kennedy and Boxer all voted for it-- only 10 of them voted against it, I believe.

[eridani]

20. Nine more than last time n/t

[Jackpine Radical]

22. As a Feingold constituent & supporter, I can't help but wonder

WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH THE REST OF THEM?

ok--only 90 of them now.

[converted_democrat]

13. I don't know what the problem is, but it's pissing me off.. The Bankruptcy

Bill got my panties in a knot, and I'm still not comfortable with what's happening..

[dogday]

15. Keep the few that are working for us and vote out the rest n/t

[MadHound]

16. Welcome to our two party/same corporate master

System of government. Bipartisan screwing of the people a specialty.

It is because of this very fact that we desperately need to enact nationwide publicly financed elections. Take the money out of the equation and give the government back to the people.

[MissMarple]

19. Why can't they "just say no"? Or better yet, Hell, No.

No need to argue, just state a position and firmly stick to it.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. The Republican Party and the Not as Republican Party.

Two wings of the same Nationalist/Capitalist Oligarchy.

[foreverdem]

24. What ARE they scared of?

It's like if they keep playing nice nice, the repukes will be good and throw them a bone every now and then. These repukes are ruthless and will steamroll over anyone in their way, and you'd think the Dems would realize this by now. Geez, don't they ever get tired of being maligned, kicked in the head and slapped in the face? Then thanking the repukes for it?
