Our "leadership" has failed us dismally. Very few have the guts to stand up and say what's wrong with things today. Many of the Dems are cowed. I still have "I stand shoulder to shoulder with pResident Bush" ringing in my ears and it makes me ill.

The media assured us only Kerry was "electable" and the masses bought into it hook, line and sinker. Then, figure in how the Dem congress-critters formed a little cabal to stop Dean so we could run a candidate who couldn't beat trained chimp.

I like to fantasize about the notion of the K/E campaign being as vicious with the dim son as they were with Dean. Yet he was a class act, being a team player. Helped the lame K/E campaign as well as Dems across the country. No other candidate did nearly what he did and what he did manage to do far outweighs what the impotent DNC&DLC achieved.

We need to take the party back and quick. Get involved locally and on the state level. Gain influence so that we the people call the shots and not the milque-toast assholes who have no clue like Brazille and From. Ignore the mamby-pamby calls for complacency and declare war on the neo-cons.

If the leadership doens't get with the program they will soon lose the real workers. Sure the armchair quarterbacks will gladly heed the call to play nice and keep taking it in the ass from the neo-cons but those of us who can move mountains will do so on behalf of those who stand up and fight. Those who tuck tail and run will find their "base" are the useless whiners who think demanding capitulation to the Rethugs on DBs constitutes activism.
