The democrats aren't even trying anymore. Pathetic.

With friends like DiFi, who needs enemies?

Wake up and smell the damn coffee, Leahy! I don't think they'll pull another anthrax attack on you. Gawd, "pathetic" is right.

Californians - puh-LEEZ vote this DINO out of office!! She's worthless!

Very very sad.. I agree w/ Curt. they ARE NOT trying

Maybe it's because the same corporations who fund the Republicans also fund the Democrats, so maybe the Democrats are, like, bought by the same corporate interests? Just sayin'.

spineless

heh...

Democrats "wide stance" on a lot of issues makes them suspect. Lets get to the bottom of the shady bathroom deals. Time to flash the badge from the other stall.

And what's with Leahy playing footsie with the thugs so they could work on Feinstein and flip her vote to get another thug into the 5th Circuit.

What did they give him? Somebody needs to ask him poin-blank what the deal was.

Leahy!!!! Shit.

Or a Cuban will spank them?

I'm so proud to have voted against Dianne Feinstein last year. Once the mayor of San Francisco, she is now a cold, conservative shell of her former self. She makes me sad, the ultimate example of a once-ideological liberal who sold out.

difi is a DINO, anyway. Wife of a war profiteer. WTF does she care? not a jot!

Leahy, Reid and all the 'collegial brethren' in the senate will continue to sell this country down the tubes.

You got to give it to the democrats (Washington Generals) - They are total pros when it comes to being spineless losers. No one can do it as well as them.

Why should we vote for them again? What was the point? Was it something like they are not as bad as the reps? Frankly, I think they are much worse...

How come we don't have any independents running this race?

Ricky: Oh Loooocy! Look at this!

Lucy: Wahhhhhh!

this is the root of the problem, imho

(well, there are several roots, i think, corporate control of both parties being one)

and another root?

this sunday's MTP... shrum, carville, murphy, and the evil wench (one mustn't say her name in polite company). these charlatans and machiavellians must be dejected, rejected and ejected, not soon, but NOW. i puke a little in my mouth every time the MSM rolls out the "brain" trust. they are all prostitutes, and none more disappointing and duplicitous than james carville.

Diane on more than one occasion has shown her prowess for stupidity, she's as useless as tits on a boar hog.

the one thing that unites the d's and the r's in there attempt to quash any other party or indep candidate from entering the fray.

we have but one party in america, of which the dems and reps are the two wings of said party. all others need not apply.

i EXPECT fucked-uped-ness from DiFi...its Leahy thats such a dissappointment.

If you are just dropping links, then you are authoring nothing. There really isnt a need to know who dropped the link.

Just because the Repubs are so bad the Dems must be assuming that we like whatever they are doing. The problem is they don't seem to be doing anything of great merit. How about a symbolic impeachment or two? I'm still bitter about the 40 million bucks spent prosecuting Clinton, and now the Dems won't or can't do SOMETHING to prove their worth. Third Party anyone?

Dear Dems:

I know this will come as a shock to many of you, but the Republicans are not your friends. They equate bipartisanship with date rape. Do yourselves a favor, stop going on dates with them.

John W's picture

Some one please explain to me why I should vote for Democrats? I may as well vote Republican at least I know what I'm getting up front.

carefulwiththatAXEeugene's picture

i agree that trusting your fellow uman beings is an honorable trait.
but republicans are not human.
ENOUGH ALREADY....
news flash......they are never going to turn a new leaf and play an honest game.
NEVER!!!!!
get that through your thick skulls
stop playing their game.

Wanna know why DiFi always votes ReThug?

Look no further than her corporate crook husband, Richard Blum. He's ripped off labor unions in Northern California by "Investing" their pensions without Fed approval, lost their pensions, while collecting fat commissions ($8 million a pop).

Follow that money - Blum's hands are all over it, courtesy of his Senator wife, and the ReThugs know it. All DiFi has to do is go against Trent Lott and watch how fast "leaks" regarding Blum and Feinstein's connections to him get started.

DiFi doesn't surprise me anymore. One way to get rid of dems like her is to vote them out when the time comes. Her re-election is in 2008 - make some noise, people...

Shadowgm's picture

DiFi lost my vote a long time ago. She's on her way to losing any respect, as well.

I swear this is like watching a bad horror movie, where the evil scientist presses a button and turns everyday people into obedient zomb-- *BZZZT* - yes, master, we are plagued by defeatist liberals who want only to cave in to terrorists who hate us and hate our freedoms and want to come here and kill innocent Americans and I think Senator Lieberman is right we must bomb Iran n-- ies. I tell you, I just don't understand.

The U.S. government owns us so why would they care? We've been reduced to serf status and this won't change until we take control and take America back. A few honest politicians along the way won't get it done.

Batocchio's picture

Thanks, I had missed this one. It's easy to overlook the far-right stacking of the courts by Republicans for the past 30-some years given the current debacles, but it's one of the most important and insiduous strategies to watch and fight.

Paul's picture

DiFi, Leahy, they've all got to go. Put them out to pasture. Let them retire. They've done enough harm to this country - I would say their pensions have been well and truly earned. The longer they stay around, the worse damage they will do.
