Thanks a lot Harry Reid.
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 07:28 AM by annabanana
Now the media is hammering all the Democratic candidates on the war. The mood of the Country has finally caught up with us and EVERYONE is talking about getting the hell out of Iraq.

So a Democrat gets up and says "I've always been against the war" and all the media has to do is look up the votes. And it was YOU Harry, who orchestrated the cave-in for all the funding for this criminal enterprise. Who voted against all the funding? Did any of our leading contenders manage to withstand your acceptance of the bankrupt "eek eek they'll say we don't support the troops" trope?

Candy Crowley up and supports the vote suppressing "see? they're all the same, those politicians" media all time hit... and she can get away with it.

Really Harry. Thanks a load.

4. Dodd has to watch his own ass in Congress right now.. (he might need some support)
When he filibustered his own party to block the inclusion of telecom immunity on the warrantless spying case, Harry "let him get away with it" because of his Presidential campaign, saying essentially that he had needed something to "set him apart" from the pack...

Now that Dodd has dropped out, and is still talking about blocking telecom immunity.. he has been threatened with the loss of some of his commission appointments.

We have a lot of phone calling to do this week....

7. Reid needs to be replaced by Dodd.
I damned near voted for him in the Florida primary. We got absentee ballots a looong time ago.

9. Let me know who to call - I fully support Dodd's work
and woe to the man or woman who gets in his way of setting it right there. I think he now knows how many of us do support his work there. 500,000 signatures isn't something to sneeze at.

Have phone. Will call.

6. Now, now. We don't want to be confrontational.

I'm sure when the Bush Crime Family sees the error of its ways, it will embrace the concepts of Truth, Justice and the American Way.

We just need to bring them to the table and win them over with our kindness and charisma. Harry and Nancy are setting the example, and others are benginning to follow.

Give a inspirational speech, and a just society will follow.

It's the New Democratic way of hope and conciliation.

13. If I had anything to say about it
Reid would be gone so fast, there would be skid marks where his shoes used to be. And Pelosi would be right behind him. I can't even watch her on television no more. She makes me sick.

8. Sooner or later we all have to do the right thing.
Kucinich has voted against all. Voted against the war from the start yet he is minimized here because of his stature. Go figure. I make no excuses for people who do not do the right thing. The Dems who have voted for more war are responsible for their votes.
