Well spoken. We're winning big time now. Bullshit may have gotten them to the top, but good old Common Sense is taking them down now. What a bunch of f'ups they are.

"The Dems have to learn the Rep game of RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION."

Yup. And if the present doesn't give rise to it, they are totally hopeless.

"I think I may just give up... "

Don't. This is the moment when the iron is hot. If the Dims don't rise to the challenge, then so be it. They will get tossed out with the rest of the rubbish. Yeah, that means a time of dislocation and upheaval. And that sucks for most people. But there comes a time...

We need to build a future that is secure for our children and grandchildren. Now is the time to do it. We have one of those rare opportunities to shape the near future. We are experiencing the same pressures that gave rise to the Grange and Populist movements or the late 1800s. The same pressures that led to the Marxists-Leninists movements in Europe. And those things gave rise to the labor movements and the toppling of the monarchies and the rise of democracy in Europe. We might fail, and odds are against us. But the stakes are high and the payoff is large.

History calls to us.

The Democrats should be screaming bloody murder. Every one in the House should have voted for immediate withdrawal. They are so freaking afraid of losing their freaking jobs it makes me sick. They are just as complicit as the damn Reps. What, five US kids killed today in Iraq? For nothing... who cares? Not our freaking "representatives". They are too busy cutting aid to the very poorest and taxes to the very richest, giving themselves a raise and going on vacation.

This time I don't blame the Dems. Even Murtha said, the withdrawal can not be done overnite. The GOP intentionally tried to embarrass the Dems by making their resolution call for an immediate withdrawal...withdraw completely like was done in Vietnam. Even I, as much as I want withdrawal, do not want a scenario like in Vietnam where the US embassy is evacuating in helicopters as foreign troops are knocking on the front door. The withdrawal must be orderly and staged.

As for the Dems worried about their jobs, sorry John but you have it wrong. If you saw what happened on Friday on the House floor.......the screaming and yelling........things were completely out of control. Five years of anger and BS bubbled over the top. If it weren't for the fact, that I am angry, I would have been worried. The Dems have finally got their act together. The GOP is in for a heap of trouble.
