2. And with Stark's comment we get ....
... more bad press and nothing else.

Stark was a problem, but he is not the problem.

3. If Stark was a problem
it was that he told the truth, and the 'moderate' dems thought it was hell.

The problem with Stark is that we don't have 100 Starks saying this everyday.

4. Bull
If more representatives stood up and represented the disgust We The People had for Bush then the press would be forced to deal with the real problem. But as Stark was cowed and forced to recant the press will continue to look for the next sensation to make money from.

5. Now you're starting to address the real problem.
The problem was NOT that Stark stood up, it's that he made drop a real bomb in the middle of it all. If we had 100 Starks sounding off every day in that manner, we could look forward to losing it all in 2008.

However, if we had 100 members of Congress actually representing their constituents, it would be a different tale. (

6. if we have no starks
there is nothing to win in 2008

electing the complacent party will not help us

censuring other democrats should be off the table

7. "electing the complacent party will not help us" What does that mean? Off to the Constitution Party?
We don't have a lot of choices.

It would send a clear message to not vote for our incumbants in the primaries and to support Democratic upstarts instead. But we don't do that. We criticize everyone else's representatives and keep voting in our gutless wonders.

9. My outlook is not so dark, but I see what you mean.
The place to make a difference is at the grassroots level. Get involved soon!
