Hey Democratic Majority in Congress,
How's it going? Feeling good about yourself? Feeling like you can get a lot of important things done? Feeling like your team has a good chance in 2008?
The Republicans are laughing at you.
You guys have folded so often in the face of Republican blackmail and this historically-hated President, that you have no spine. The Republicans were worried in 2006 when you guys swept your way into power with the promise of change. But now...
The Republicans are laughing at you.
This whole FISA cluster$&#@ is just further proof to them that they still run the country. You think they care about all the little "victories" you guys have had? They've been able to kill nearly every important, game-changing bill or idea that you've come up with. And now you're giving them the power to do whatever they want (only for six months!) without any chance to even say "Hey! No fair!" You think they're playing straight with you? That they're not going to abuse this new power you've handed them?
The Republicans are laughing at you.
You came to power with a promise to end the War. That would have been very bad for the Republicans. Now, of course, everyone knows that they're going to do exactly what they wanted to do and keep this War going all the way through the end of Bush Jr. and let someone else deal with the horrible aftermath that WILL ALWAYS BE THERE NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES TO END.
The Republicans are laughing at you.
They are lying, cheating, swindling this country left and right. Gonzo is lying to you, lying right to your face and everyone knows it. And yet you do nothing.
The Republicans are laughing at you.
Bush and Cheney have committed FEDERAL CRIMES. They are CRIMINALS. And yet they know there's no way you'll ever impeach. The longer you wait to do anything, the more petty it'll seem since they'll be gone in 18 months. Why bother impeaching now, right?
The Republicans are laughing at you.
You're like a battered wife who, after being beaten for the fifteenth time, says "I think he's learned his lesson and he won't beat me anymore." Are you really that stupid? The Republicans HATE you. And they revel in the knowledge that they control you. You have over 70% of the country behind you on many, many isues, and yet you let this gang of thugs run all over you.
The Republicans are laughing at you.
Do you think, now that you've given them the FISA "Get Out Of Jail Free" card they asked for, that they're gonna say that you guys are suddenly strong on national defense? Do you think they're gonna drop that whole line of attack for 2008?
The Republicans are laughing at you.
And you know what? You guys are now truly weak. You look weak. Everyone knows it. Why bother electing Democrats? They had a chance and didn't do anything. The Republicans are right, the Democrats are no different from them. Why bother showing up to vote? You guys look WEAK, giving in so often.
The Republicans are laughing at you.
The rest of the country is crying.
