How damned quickly they forget!!
We worked out buns off, we donated money we didn't have, we organized and GOTV, we kept the war front and center when the entire corporate media just wanted to forget (and hoped we would forget) the role they played in this abomination.
We identified and supported candidates, and inspite of the insider boasting of Chuckie Schumer and Rahm Emmanual,
WE DELIVERED A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!
We did it for a very good reason - to stop George Bush, and the Neo-Con delusionals, from destroying America.
But apparently they just didn't notice, those fund raising corporate whores that lead the Democratic Party.
Hillary lets Rupert Murdoch raise campaign funds for her, Barney Frank takes junkets to Europe, Blue Dogs vote exactly like Republicans and not a one of those elected Democrats have bother to step up and tell us why NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
The Iraq funding bill is being systematiclly erroded to give Bush everything he demands.
The "Surge" contines to grow in numbers and futility.
The killing goes on in Iraq.
The long warned of Middle East explosion is fast approaching.
And, not a one of our elected Democrats has bother to step up and tell us why NOTHING HAS CHANGED. In a Democracy the people making decisions do so with the consent of the governed. We have not given out consent - indeed, we withdrew support for this horror last November and, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
Is there a reason we don't understand?
Is there a secret deal that we know nothing of?
Is there some fucking strategy this Democratic Congress is following by not doing as they were charged?
The Twitocracy has spent the day moaning about gas prices. Like that was some big surprise with Big Oil running the world...
But I have been following the Congress very closely - NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
I propose to change things. It is time we began moving swiftly to find challengers for every seat of every Democrat that has not lived up to their promises.
Oh, you say, "But a Republican might win the seat if we try to take out a powerful, long serving Democrat."
My answer? What the hell would be different?
The Democratic Congress must be put on notice. Either live up to the hype, or kiss your ass goodby. And if you think Chuckie and Rahm can save your job, just ask 'em, when nobody else is around.
Update:
The Dem caucus is holding a presser on MSNBC. They are telling us how to interpret what they have done, but they are not yet "releasing the details". Yeah. Right.
