The Soft Underbelly of the Democratic Party
by Cenk Uygur | Aug 6 2007



Here we go again. I was going to write a nice, fun piece about Matt Damon on a lovely Sunday afternoon when the Democrats went and ruined everything, as usual. From time to time, I am told that I am too hard on the Democrats. It is not possible to be too hard on these vacillating, spineless, rudderless, clueless clowns.

Alright, there has to be an important distinction here. Most of the Democrats in the House voted the right way on the latest capitulation to the most unpopular president in history. And 28 Democratic Senators voted the right way. The rest are the biggest bunch of weaklings and half-wits I have ever seen. They are the soft underbelly of the Democratic Party.

How many times do I have to write this article? How many times will these same Democrats give in to the worst president in history? So, this time, they caved on FISA. And they caved big time.

The president has been running an illegal warrantless wiretapping program since 2001. He has been continually and brazenly breaking the FISA law. He finally submitted the program to the FISA court recently. And a FISA judge said earlier this year that the program was not legal. Now how do the Democrats hold the president accountable for breaking this federal law?

Did they impeach him for high crimes and misdemeanors? Did they censure him? Did they cut off funding? No, not only did they not do any of these patently obvious things, but instead, they turned around and changed the law to give him the authority to ignore the courts. How do you not call them weaklings? How am I supposed to take it easy on them? How can this possibly be justified?

1. Yeah, I really don't get this one - how in the hell can you justify

giving more power to a person who has demonstrated the abuse of the power they already hold.
What polls were these Dems reading that made them think this was the responsible thing to do?
I've got to believe that they are truly out of touch with reality.

2. Most of them are blue nose.

Brought in by Rahm Emanual(sp) and Steny Hoyer they are both blue nose democrats. Rahm is DLC and Steney is trying to destroy Nancy Pelosi. Look at the republicans they converted for the last election he voted with the pukes. They have to be stopped. Both of them. Get real dems to run against these 28 dopes.

3. Pelosi doesn't get a pass on this

The Democrats have absolute power in the House. NOTHING gets a vote without their say-so.

4. "vacillating, spineless, rudderless, clueless clowns."

Right on spot!

5. The SOFT UNDERBELLY

of the democratic party is the blue dogs. AND I don't care what anybody says, I think they are sneaks. Sneaks who were republicans who ran as democrats just to get elected. And I think rove and the white house helped them. Maybe that's why rove said he HAD THE NUMBERS. YEAH THE numbers of the sneaks.
