Representative Pelosi and Senator Reid -- I Am YOUR Boss-NOT The Other Way Around

Representative Pelosi and Senator Reid -- YOU SUCK
by bonddad

...............

OK -- let's review why I'm so damn pissed off at the Democratic Leadership.

Speaker Pelosi -- one of your members said that Bush "just likes to blow things up." And then it was reported that you weren't gong to back his play. What is God's name are you afraid of? Rush "I have a pimple on my ass so I don't need to go to Vietnam" Limbaugh? Sean Hannity calling you a name? Getting bad press? Leadership is about leading -- which means standing up to the idiot inhabiting the White House using this thing called the Constitution like toilet paper. For God's sake, show some spine.

And Senator Reid -- one of your fellow Senators has decided to place a hold on a bill granting blanket immunity to the telecom industry. There is evidence that telecoms were spying on Americans before the "9/11 changed everything" arguments even entered national discourse. You might want to consult this quaint document called the Constitution, especially the Fourth Amendment about search and seizures requiring probable cause.

And before I get the, "you don't understand the stakes involved because you are a mighty member of Congress and I am but a lowly citizen" garbage, let me remind you that I am your boss -- not the other way around.

2. well that is good to know, now bonddad can go stop the war...

fix education & health care and not a moment too soon

[Zodiak]

3. That's my assessment, too

I reject the notion of top-down democracy.

[Occulus]

4. Kos needs to implement a spellcheck n/t

[EST]

5. I'll bet they would disagree with you, figuring how much crap

they have had to abide for many years.

I have watched Speaker Pelosi for quite some time and, much as it pains me to say it, she lacks the "common touch" to the point where I really believe she is convinced that the life and fortunes of a member of congress are worth a lot more than that of a common citizen.

9. She's a fulltime, professional 24/7 pol.

suffering from the standard DC insular Beltway elite syndrome. I don't think its about having or lacking the common touch with her. It's about keeping her job, keeping her status, not rocking the boat, being "nice" and non-confrontational to Bush. Meanwhile Bush and Cheney are dryfucking Congress and the Constitution on a daily basis and laughing/sneering about it. History is not going to be kind to Pelosi.

6. one of the responses to the OP: "intentionally losing is not a path to victory."

[JMDEM]

7. What I am afraid of is...

Maybe they DO know something we don't. I'm not sure what that would be -- could be a lot of different things -- anything from the world is about to come to an end to blackmail/bribery to... who knows...

I don't know which is scarier -- the above, or just sheer incompetence and greed.

8. cause they can away with it.

1. why would super rich and super out of touch people listen to us

2. its a representational government whithout the ability for recall elections. means they can eat babies on the floor of the senate and you/me/we couldnt do anything about it to the next election which quite probably is rigged for them anyways...



3. go read some thomas jefferson, go to your local dem meetings and get frickin radical and loud

[Kablooie]

10. I'm afraid she sees it differently. To her George W Bush is her boss.

She always seems so excited and proud to be in his presence.
She's basically a GWBush Groupie.
