To all Democrats
Why should Gov Spitzer resign?

Did Senator Larry Craig Resign?

Why should Democrats allow Republicans to tell them how to run the Party is beyond me,
this has always been the weakness that the party have shown, the Republicans are known for
scandals, but not one of them are relinquishing their positions.

Our concept have to change, our perception certainly HAS to change, the Republicans
are interfering too much in the Democratic party and it is becoming obvious that
they tend to set the standards that the Democratic party lives by.....this is down
right annoying and demoralizing, are the Democrats soo inane that they can't run their
own party, have they ran out of ideas.....look, here is the argument, if the Republicans
wants Governor Spitzer to resign, they should first start with all the SCANDALOUS Republicans
in position as of now to resign too.

Its about time to start taking the fight to the Republicans, if they can show etiquette, then
the Democrats will too, there is a lot at stake here, this is not about just Gov Spitzer, its
about the Democratic party.

To all you hacks, shills and disguiser's (sheep's in wolf clothen) time to get your stinking
claws off the party.

Just can't get over the weak ass Democrats that are echoing the RW babble, what a lackluster
aptitude, hence probably the reason why they(Republicans) feel they have the right to dictate
to the Democratic party.

Wake up People!

14. Maybe you should try explaining
or expressing yourself further....I know exactly what I wrote, your phytoplankton's comment
maybe lost me, I'm not sure if you're referring to my post as a floating plant or what,
did not get your metaphor if that, once again, WHATS YOUR POINT.

16. Have you heard this saying before
'who the cap fits.......' my comments was meant to reach those that deserved it, now
I sure do hope you're not responding because you felt obliged, which leaves me with a begging
question....Are you a sheep in a wolf clothen? :shrug: I raised this question based on your supposedly attempt with phytoplankton analogy.

20. Nope - I think they give moderate Democrats a bad name
for two reasons

1. They sell out at every opportunity

2. They pretend like the only reason to be a moderate liberal is because you can't forward actual liberalism - in other words it's always just a compromise.

I am a moderate democrat because I want governmental solutions to some problems, and business solutions to other problems.

21. Your assumption does makes sense
not that I agree entirely, I don't know if there is any such thing as a moderate Democrats,
IMO you have to be FOR or AGAINST there are no gray areas, lately people have been trying
to cut corners, you have to be for the people or against the people, you can't say well
folks there are things I agree with you on this side but also there are thing I like
on the other side, eventually you end up with gridlock, which is what you have now in the
Senate, for too long people have been playing both sides and when you do that, you loose sight
of your loyalty creating an open for mischief.

Moderates Democrats are IMO responsible for most of the debacle the party is faced with, because
folks have friends on the other side that they owe favors to and now those folks need a return
favors, so instead of working on Democrats party interests you have people working on their
personal interest in turn living majority of the party policy go unaccomplished.

22. Well again, you have to decide between a Dennis Kucinich or a Joe Biden
I like Joe Biden, and agree more with what he's trying to accomplish. If you agree more with a Dennis Kucinich, work to get guys like him elected.

That's democracy.

23. You're not saying
Joe Biden is moderate are you?

I know Dennis is more left than anyone of them

but in all fairness he (Dennis) lacks something

that Edwards also lacks, they do have the message

but people feels they can trust them when it comes

to executive positions.....by the way, did you see

this political video by Bill recently;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZQzJiEnwx4


just listen to him and maybe that will give you

and idea of why some of our leaders are tossed

overboard by the media.

6. He broke the law he should resign
Republicans will rationalize their own law breaking however they wish but we are above that.

8. Sorry, I beg to differ

what puts us above the Republicans? by bringing down our own and setting example.....really, you think thats going to change their thinking toward us?

They must have got you good, brainwash that is, why not defend our own instead of throwing them
to get slaughtered? why don't we show unity as oppose to destruction? covenant as oppose to
sacrifice.

10. Craig should have resigned as well. I'm not looking for Dems to act like Republicans.
I don't even really CARE about what Spitzer did, personally, but he's busted and needs to resign.
