Dems may be too nice?
:shrug: As the dixie chicks have said and correctly so,
"not ready to be nice"!!!! As we already see in the news
Reid and Durbin meet with the W the "the devil" and are
ready to make NICE!!! WTF. They should be snubbing the
SOB. I don't like what I see. We need some fireworks here.
Anyone agree??

1. It's just the beginning
Right now the Democrats might be acting nice, but when the new Congress gets started the action starts and the nice attitude will be gone.

2. I agree. This nice shit better work in a hurry. If these bozos are around
to pull their neo-con bullshit again 2008, it'll be the end of nice for the next 5 decades. I'm willing to go along with nice, so long as nasty is simmering below the surface.

3. I dont think it would be a good idea this soon after the election
Edited on Sat Nov-11-06 11:48 PM by HaggardsMethDealer
revenge is a dish best served cold. The truth is that when we take the reins in January, it really doesn't matter what they think. And the best responses that I have seen have been cold and matter of fact. No reason to be a drama queen about it.

The best response I have seen was to the idea of nominating that ass clown Bolton to the UN again, and the Dems just said "Dont waste your time."

That's all that needs to be said. Just reminded them that we have the majority and casually dismiss their idiocy.

6. I want investigations

And I want criminal liability if that's what's called for.

If they want to play nice to get there, fine with me.

8. They had better not "make nice".
We narrowly averted fascism. Time for subpoenas, investigations and serious trials here and abroad.

9. It's not averted yet.
I'm not sure there are going to be trials. The media is going to have to play along with this. Right now, he still has more power than the constitution allows.

10. Screw the corporate propaganda machine.
Dimbulb only has two months to go. I truly believe that positive change is coming. The election was only the beginning.

13. That's a great idea since we are going to be in power forever.
Yes, we have won an election recently. One. That was probably as much or more for the reason that the public is unhappy with the Repbulicans. Many apparently believe that we won because they are head over heels in love with the Democrats. So we think we can well afford to be self righteous jerks just like the Republicans have been and continue to be since they will never be in power again? But the chances are they will be again, some time. Then they ratchet it up a notch and when we regain power again, so do we. On and on and on it goes. We can be smart and tough and not naive without being assholes and by doing do we will stay in power for a long time. Whether we like it or not, we have a relationship with the Republicans. Somebody has to be the adult, so it may as well be us.
