It seems the left has finally grown a set! |
|
I am excited about the backbone shown in recent days from folks like Harry Reid, Dennis Kucinich, Louise Slaughter, Diane Feinstein, Chcuk Schumer et al.
Looks like the team finally has a game plan and they are executing!

3. I just hope they hang tough! |

I do worry with the 'negotiations' going on in closed meetings that it's going to be a big thumbs up for these last few circuit court judges through an up or down vote. But there will be a gentlemen's agreement to allow filibuster for SCOTUS should the need/opportunity come to pass during Bush's term (which it will).
Then, when it does come, Frist will throw it all out the window, Cheney will appear, and *poof*--there goes the filibuster. Of course, Bush will already have his 100%.
Not likely, I know. But they scare the crap out of me on a daily basis.
BTW, has ANY President EVER had 100% of their nominees approved?

7. Yup. Galloway has set the standard. |
|
and no one has come close, except maybe Byrd's pre-war speech.

6. Kucinich always had a set. It's just that no one else did except a few |
|
As far as I can tell, that still has not changed.

8. As Bush said, you're either with us or against us. |
|
So, Dems need to prove NOW that they are with the world - us - and not helping the NeoNaziCons, who will eventually be tried for genocide.
