Why is so hard for Democrat's in Congress?
Do they even talk to each other?

Why can't they get together and agree on doing something twice a month? That's it, just twice a month.

'This week we'll ALL agree to come out against Bush's health care plan'

'This week we'll ALL agree to get behind Feingold and censure Bush'

'This week we'll ALL agree to come up with a Democratic plan to save the American worker'

'This week we'll ALL stand behind Conyers/Kerry/Feingold/Kennedy in whatever they're fighting to protect'

'This week we'll ALL introduce our own Democratic plan to fix America'

Why is it so hard?

:shrug:

1. Those are the very questions I have been asking..
the Repugs are tap dancing now and the Dems need to up the ante....but they fail to come together on any issues...

It's not hard...it can be done...what are they doing?

Are they waiting for Fitzgerald!!

2. So why are people setting in front of a monitor instead of................
....running for Congress since we all know the easy answers? :sarcasm:

In all seriousness, put yourself in a roomful of screaming neocon/fundies and see how far you get with Frist's version of, "We won, so now it is payback time."

OK flame away!!:rofl:

4. Apparently this hasplagued the party for a long time
I would guess that is why when they were in power for 40 years, they never got together in such a way to truly subvert the Republicans..

I sucks though, I wish they would see that their voting records are key to us proving the true intentions of lawmakers..... Ansd the way they ignore the blogosphere against their own interests.

5. because we don't force a standard
every anti-abortion democrat cancels out one pro-choice democrat.

Every pro-war democrat cancels out one anti-war democrat.

That's what happens when we're not taking a stand on the issues that divide us - with democrats like these, who needs republicans.
