The do nothing spineless Dems?

Goddess I hate the word spineless so many attach to my party.

They along with DR Ford and her attorney are derailing Kavanaugh.

Yes, yes. They need to be in front of the camera spouting their outrage!!!1!!1 Sorry kids. I like them where they are, behind the scene and working hard to make it happen. They come out when they need to, like today.

I love my party. I am a Democrat.

Liberated, involved women are their nightmare. And we are way woke!

We are rising up and our voices will make a difference.

I saw Hillary tonight on Rachel. Her decorum, intelligence and grasp of issues is amazing. Anyone not outraged that she is not President is not paying any attention. We will not be silent.

O'Donnell barked up the derailing Kavanaugh tree for an hour tonight and looked silly doing it.

Right now we are doing everything we can to slow or stop this.

Sad those that sat out the last election never cared about the outcome of our SCOTUS or women's rights or every Human right. Sad that the Susans had the last word.

Now I make a note to myself and then know just what I want to say either to a staffer or leaving it to voicemail. Easy-peasy.

they'd be accused of grandstanding and kabuki theater and not spending enough time actually doing their jobs. Newt Gingrich and his gang seemed to spend all their time on the steps of the Capital in front of the cameras and people got sick of it.

I hate that whether they're in the majority or minority, Republicans get the most media coverage. Why Democrats get blamed for that, I don't know.

People get sick of even the most popular celebrities if they see them too much, overexposure. Trump is doing that himself. Let him overexpose himself.

to thank them and support them. I noticed that the staffers always want contact info when they get a compliment. I always complain to the GOP staffers and they rarely ask if I am a contituent and want contact info.
