(62,325 posts)chose to look the other way. It is sickening. Republicans stood up for Siegelman more courageously than our own party.
They should understand one thing, when you don't stand up against such egregious injustice when you have a chance to do so, you may very well be next and who will stand up for you?
The Christie situation is a perfect example. All those Dems who supported Christie now look like the cowards they are and I hope every last one of them is challenged in a primary and loses, they don't belong in public office. BUT the Democrat who refused to bow down to the Republican Bully and who DID suffer the consequences, for a short time, exposed the whole corrupt Christie operation simply by doing the right thing.
I am disgusted by the cowardice, the collaboration of our own party with some of the worst, most evil right wing bullies, not just Christie, but Bush/Cheney et al, ever.
We never had a chance of changing anything because those we supported were not willing to stand up and fight for what was right. The Democratic Leadership who abandoned their own candidate in NJ in favor of the Republican should now have to answer for that betrayal. There is more to explain than what Christie's administration did. WE as Democrats including Buono and the few who refused to go along with the Dem position on supporting a Republican, Right Wing Bully.
We need answers now as to why the Democratic Candidate was left to fend for herself. Because there is an election coming up, and this was not the first time the Dem Leadership abandoned the Dem Candidate in favor of the Republican.
