McCoward and Mooselini have repeatedly called Obama a traitor. Where are the Democrats!?!?!
I'm just pissed off because I don't see the Democratic party leadership out there demanding an apology. Where is Howard Dean? Where is Nancy Pelosi? Harry Reid? Why aren't the Clintons out there condemning these remarks? Where is the leadership? Had Obama or Biden said anything like that, best believe the Rethugs would have been out there crying, calling for a resolution on the Senate floor condemning Obama or Biden for their remarks. McCoward has consistently insinuated that Barack Obama is a traitor to his country, making statements like "Obama would rather lose a war and win an election." He has repeated this statement over and over again. Mooselini told Biden that he is "waving the white flag surrender" straight to his face last week, and yet no one has said anything or demanded that she apologize for accusing him of being a traitor. They have repeated these disgusting talking points over and over again. Had it been Obama or Biden telling voters that McCoward and Mooselini are "cutting and running" when it comes to Afghanistan and Pakistan, again, the Rethugs would be calling for their heads.

All I'm asking is where is the Democratic party? Where is the leadership? Do I need to make phone calls and write letters again?

Why isn't the media demanding an explanation for why Mooselini is inciting violence against an elected official?

WHERE IS THE FU*KING DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERSHIP!?!?!?!???!!

1. I could care less about the leadership.
They have been utterly non-existent for years now. It is time the true leaders, Obama and Biden stepped up and took it to mccstain and moosealini. That is why I am voting for them after all.

3. I think I will be splitting my ticket this year. I'll vote for Obama/Biden, but not
Chris Van Hollen or any Democrat on the local level. I will vote for the Greens on the down ticket. I've had it with the Democratic party's lack of leadership and cowardice.

Note: I live in MD, so it'll be more of a protest vote, sadly.

4. Yeah
I wish we had runoff voting, because I would vote green as much as possible. Greens are like democrats if democrats had balls or principles.

5. The Clintons...

Maybe Hillary has been out, but is not getting any press time or publicity?

Bill?? I've written him off. He could care less if Obama loses.

7. Is this a serious post?
The Democrats are out kicking ass and taking names.

Why would any of these folks take time out of their schedule to give the McCain campaign attention? I mean, you realize that's what this is, right?

Let 'em squawk.

The media consolidation into right wing hands over the past twenty years has dramatically affected how many opportunities our Democratic leaders get to appear on TV.

They used to be covered as a matter of course due to their positions in our national government, and part of "balanced reporting." Now reporters and media companies need only be accountable to the RNC.
