It's election time: time to become the Democratic echo chamber!

[pnwmom]

It's time to put aside our differences and join together. But only if we really want to win.

I do. I want us to take control of the House and the Senate, and to let John Conyers loose with his subpoena power.

Hillary Clinton – who is currently up for reelection to the U.S. Senate -- made a strong statement yesterday about how her husband would have acted to protect us from 9/11. And it got a lot of news coverage. Let’s put our political hats on, not our whiny, hair-splitting, perfectionistic, pie-in-the-sky hats on – shouldn’t we be glad about that? Shouldn’t we be her “echo chamber”?

I think we should all be rejoicing, not complaining, when a Democrat comes out and says something strong that benefits THE ENTIRE PARTY just before a major election. And when the media actually covers it.

Why don't so many people here get it? When the whole Republican election campaign is based around their theme that they are the National Security Party and the Dems can't keep us safe, then

ALL OF US SHOULD BE SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOP THAT CLINTON WOULD HAVE, GORE WOULD HAVE, KERRY WOULD HAVE, ANY DEMOCRAT WOULD HAVE -- IN THE BUILDUP TO 9/11 AND BEYOND -- FOUGHT FOR OUR SAFETY!!!!!!!!

Instead, what do we have?

A President who ignored terrorism before 9/11.
A President who gave up on capturing bin Laden so that he could start his fantasy war in Iraq.
A war that will only breed more terrorists, no matter how or when it ends.
A President who would rather USE the FEAR of terrorism than take the concrete steps that are necessary to protect us from it.

Thank you, Hillary, for your strong words. And good luck in your campaign.
