Where are the Dems? Don't think I've seen one calling out the GOP and their lack of respect

[HipChick]

towards the President or Office of Presidency?...I'm not talking pundits,or talking heads...

1. You've identified the problem with your question.

The Dems NEVER fight back for practical purposes. Every once in a while Reid or Pelosi will slip in a bit of snark, but that's as far as it goes. :(

[HipChick]

3. Exactly..

[canadianbeaver]

2. nothing but crickets eh?........

the lack of respect is astounding.....completely

[Segami]

4. And don't hold your breath either for any to show up.

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

" Liberals tend to apologize for their outbursts. We even apologize for defending ourselves against some very unreasonable attacks from Republicans. Conservatives know that and like any form of predator take full advantage. Almost every time you see a liberal blast a conservative figure or activity, some conservative will announce they are outraged by the allegations or lack of civility and next thing you know, the liberal is apologizing and the conservative is smiling smugly for getting away with another one.

5. They follow their leader

and are "above" the fray. What a crock.

[CakeGrrl]

9. That's crap. They've been doing this since at least Clinton.

And the MSM helps take Dems to task for speaking out and turns a deaf ear to the spew from the GOP.

[theaocp]

16. So what?

YouTube wasn't around during Clinton, so take their message to the people. Fuck the M$M. Unless you mean they're inherently neutered thanx to the M$M. Again, I say, What a crock.

[OHdem10]

6. As usual, hiding under their desks. (sarcsm)

[jeff47]

7. That wouldn't be bipartisan, and might endanger the grand bargain. (nt)

[CakeGrrl]

10. Bullshit. They didn't get Clinton's back much better

until it came to the impeachment vote.

And the MSM has been aiding and abetting the disparity.

Don't act like POTUS has given them marching orders. You can't have it both ways. So now he's responsible for getting the Dems to heed his command on THIS issue while he's weak and ineffectual in all others?

[jeff47]

20. What makes you think they weren't using the same logic during the Clinton administration?

I'd argue that they were. The difference is this time the President truly believes it too.

8. Congress woman Barbara Lee was on Sharpton's show and she was brutal against the rethugs. nt

[MrTriumph]

11. Congressional Dems would love to have a real, fighting Democrat as president.

[Wait Wut]

12. I would call my Dem Reps., Senators, etc.

...but, I don't have any. So will some of you nice people that have actual Democratic representation please call yours?

[dgibby]

13. I don't think the President and the Congressional

Dems have a warm and fuzzy relationship. It's dysfunctional at best, downright hostile at worst.

[joeybee12]

14. I agree...Obama has cut them off at the knees one too many times for

them to get his back.

that said, even if he treated them decently, I doubt they would be that vocal in their support...Dems as a group are spineless.

[dgibby]

15. Harry Reid's statement says it all, imo.

"I'm the majority leader of the Senate. Why don't I know about this?"

[NC_Nurse]

17. They only criticize other Dems....

idiots.

[Maraya1969]

18. I see it on DU and it makes me sick. Under the title of "policies"

Bullshit. People are disrespectful on this board and they should be ashamed of it. Just watch how anti-Obama threads get so many points and are pushed up to the Greatest page so fast. Pro-Obama ones lag behind.

I'm saying it again. If Obama loses in 2012 I blame some of the people on DU.

[upi402]

19. yep, the real dems seem to be mostly ousted

or silent, or actually republicans.

[Raine]

21. That would be too partisan

too much piling on to the repubs. :sarcasm:
