1. wish I could agree with you
but in my experience, when the powerful fight, it's usually the little people who end up getting hurt.

2. Yes - Just Like The African Proverb Says
When the elephants fight, the grass gets trampled.

4. If you want to look at it that way, the liberals are getting crushed.

7. It wasn't good when Kennedy challenged Carter and it's
not good now.

8. A revolution in the party is overdue. People are grasping at straws,
and even fake people. Toss out the selfish and debt-loving corporatist mercenaries. That is the change people expect.

Get back to the basics of doing the people's business to improve the lot of all citizens, and following the constitution and the rule of law.

It's not too late to impeach Bush and Cheney and show the world that we actually respect our laws and mean business. Or is it?

9. Actually I think it is good for the party. Much better than simply acquiescing to the republicans.
Of course, if the Dems united around NO MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY that would be better. With the tax cuts Obama suggests, our country will plunge into a deeper recession. We will certainly have a republican pres, congress in 2012, and the gap between rich and poor will continue to widen. This bill is very very bad news.

We need taxes. We need food banks and shelter and to create jobs, government jobs.
