Dems: you are NOT Khan
the Senate is NOT the USS Enterprise.

Can we please stop with the "revenge" talk?

Why not let the Republicans continue to dig their own graves?

Why must we grab a shovel and dig our own by acting like them when they were in the majority?

Khan was driven by revenge, and look at what happened to him?

6. Good advice
They pretty much screwed themselves up with excesses this time around. I'd rather focus on what I want Dems to do to help restore our Constitution than work a shovel. Greater satisfaction!

8. Khan failed
Because he let emotion get the better of him and he wasn't willing to wait, and use his superior intellect.

repeat itself folks. Huberis on the part of Dems in the early 1990s -- along with some serious scandals (ala house post office kiting scheme) led to the Democrats fall the last time.

Khan: To the last, I will grapple with thee.
Khan: From hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.

45. never said that it was
one entails critical thought, the other raw emotion.

I'm not so hell bent on getting justice that in the end I will destroy myself as well.

Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 08:26 PM by kgfnally
I'm sure they would feel it were such.

32. The only people I hear talking about revenge are those telling us not to call for it.
They don't seem to understand the difference between revenge and justice, which is what I hear, and am making, a demand for.

34. The Klingon proverb that "revenge is a dish that is best served cold"....
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 06:58 PM by terrya
is NOT applicable in this case.

I agree. And I think that if the Democrats don't take this great opportunity to advance an agenda for America...Iraq, an increase in the minimum wage, ethics in Congress, addressing the budget deficit...then our majority will be very short lived.

39. when I think about their tactics
such as all the insults hurled at Gore, and the stupid hunting costumes they donned to make fun of Kerry, and the way they misconstrued Kerry's comments in the final days of the campaign, I just take solace in the fact that we are so much better than them.

Excellent post, Terry :hi:

Let's rebuild America. One step at a time. And leave the childish bullshit to the Republicans.

43. A note.
The crimes and tragedies that have taken place in this country aren't going to go away with bi-partisanship. Constitutional lawyers will still be battling in the courts. Many people aren't going to forget that which they know and that which this country has not acknowledged to itself yet. While the passage of good legislation with help of both parties is desirable and can get things done for the benefit of us all, the boil of crimes against this nation's constitution will continue to fester. It will have to be faced. Too many patriots out there.
