Legal Schnauzer (friend of Gov. Don Siegelman) FINALLY gets noticed by The New York Times

11. Thanks Octafish. The Siegelman case is a travesty, of justice, but of much, much more than that.

Watching the Christie situation too is about much, much more than what we already know about how our system works, the lack of will on the part of Democrats to STAND UP against bullying, against corruption, as in the Siegelman case and in the case of ACORN. The complicity of OUR party, their willingness to quickly abandon their own GOOD Dems, and Siegelman is one of the good guys, has disgusted many people over the past decade or so.

THAT is what needs to be fixed so that we have no more Siegelmans, no more Dems supporting bullies and right wingers like Christie, no more jailing of bloggers who actually have the guts to stand up for people like Siegelman when his own party is too frightened to do so.

What ARE they afraid of? If there is some kind of coercion going on then they NEED TO TELL THE PEOPLE.

And look what happens when someone actually does stand up to them, as in the case of the Fort Lee Mayor while most of his own party were bowing down in front of Christie. THE TRUTH emerges because bullies cannot take anyone standing up them and when someone does, they reveal themselves.

So sick of being on the losing side of issues that we SHOULD be on the winning side of. But that would take guts and REAL Dems and we seem to be in short supply of both on our side of the aisle.

I was thinking about Siegelman today. Being targeted by Rove and his criminal cohorts is bad, but imagine how he must feel about the abandonment of his own party?

ACORN expressed how they felt when the party for whom they signed up over one million voters in 2008 so quickly threw them by the wayside: 'It hurt'! Yes, it did, badly. As did Dems supporting Christie and Dems abandoning Siegelman, and Dems supporting Bush's wars etc etc.
