"THE DEMOCRATS NEED A SERIOUS KICK IN THE ASS"

bradblog.com

The Democrats need a SERIOUS kick in the ass. My frustration with them is reaching new levels I thought were not possible. I just checked the DNC website to see if there was a word about the Downing Street Memo. Nothing. What...the...fuck?? Do they fight for anything? They let Republicans own and program all the secret software that programs the vote, and now there is clear evidence the President lied us into war, and again, they do nothing. How can a party this big have no instinct for self preservation?

I sent the following email to the DNC, and I'll say as much on the phone tomorrow (202-863-8000 - I think 6 or 7 of us should call).

Bush lied about Iraq - where the hell is the DNC?

A Gallup poll done in late April (link below) shows that 50%, I REPEAT, FIFTY PERCENT, of Americans believe that Bush "deliberately misled" (that's polite for "lied") us into Iraq. I bet that 50% of America is overwhelmingly on the Left side of the aisle. Now that there is smoking gun evidence that the entire Iraq policy was lies (the 5/1/05 publication of the Downing Street Memo in the London Sunday Times) that backs up everything the "Bush lied" folks ever said, I humbly ask you:

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE DEMOCRATS?!?!

Who is representing the 50% of Americans who know the truth - that Bush lied?

Who is representing the 100% of Americans that Bush lied to?

Who is representing the 100% of the 15,000 US soldiers with their faces blown off, their arms blown off, their legs blown off, who Bush lied to?

Who is representing the families of our fallen soldiers, of which, 100% were lied to by Bush?

Who is representing the 100% of tax payers who were lied to by Bush?

Who is representing the 100% of voters who were lied to by Bush?

Who is fighting to restore the dignity and honor of America, now that we've slain 100,000 innocent Iraqi's with our bombs and built concentration camps all over the world?

Except for Representative John Conyers and a handful of others, I hear thunderous silence from the Democratic party. WHO DO YOU REPRESENT ?!?!

A House amendment calling on President Bush to develop an exit strategy on Iraq received significant support but, as usual, very little media attention...
