1. they should resign today..but

no matter what,they`ll never resign

[funkyflathead]

2. We Dems to speak up and let them know we are displeased

We have to force them out of the party. Noone else is going to.

I'm sick of them not slugging it out with the repukes. We try to be repuke-lites.

Hello! That doesn't work!

3. A Dean or Kucinich getting elected

Then they'll get a clue and quit. If they have a conscience they'll go on National television apalogize to party loyalist and the dead of Bush's oil war. After that they'd put on "Seasons in the sun" and take out a pair of pistols and kill themselves.

5. would a Dean or Kucinich even getting nominated send them a clue?

4. We need our own attack dog

We need Carville to take over. He'll kick ass and take names. Daschle and Mcauliffe have no fire in the belly. We have to fight back, and damn the consequences. I want a leader who sticks up for Democrats, not one that allows the GOPologists to pass bad bills like the HMO protection act masquerading as prescriptiuon drug "reform."

:mad:

6. I hope that Daschle doesn't resign.

I admit that I'm not entirely sure what McAuliffe does as chair of the DNC, so I don't know that he should resign.

Remember that while the population is pretty evenly divided, there are more conservative STATES than liberal ones, therefore it is tougher for Dems to stay disciplined in the Senate than the House.

9. well if they can't

as you say "stay disciplined" they shouldn't be occupying their seats. Sorry, but this is no time to be making excuses for these guys. WE elected them. THEY have an obligation to US, not the other way around--let's remember that first. These are tough times and we need tough people to face down the fascists who have invaded this republic.

7. Would MoveOn possibly be interested...

in calling for new Democratic leadership? Other ideas? Is there a Democratic Senator who could be persuaded to lead an effort among fellow Senators to oust Daschle?

8. We need a Democratic attack dog,

Draft Carville !

[pippin]

11. we need a pack of attack dogs:

us--the people.

10. McAwful, never

Well, Daschle might lose his seat in the 2004 election. That would end his term as leader. Part of the reason for his behavior might be to hedge against losing his seat.

But the only thing that would make McAwful resign would be for someone inside the party to take control of the DNC. The only way for that to happen is for one of the nine running candidates to win the White House.

As long as Clinton controls the party in anyway, it appears tht McAwful is there to stay.

12. I think it's up to Ted Kennedy

he's seeming like the true leader of the party these days.

Yesterday he commended Daschle for his leadership on the medicare issue, and they both said the fight isn't over, that they were going to take the fight into the 2004 elections, citing previous elections that were decided on Medicare, and which resulted in bad Medicare decisions being reversed.

So they are going to use the issue against the republicans instead of against the democrats, which made sense to me.
