Keith! Over the years we have thanked great patriots in a big way.
Boxer for standing up for voter surpression in 2004.

Helen Thomas for speaking out on the war.

What can we do for Keith?

4. Specifically here are some things I think Keith would agree with:
Edited on Thu May-24-07 12:18 AM by truedelphi
The Democratic Powers that Be need to realize the following:

1) The power is with you until - and only until - you concede.
Then the power is GONE!

Can you imagine Newt Gingrich - with or without the votes needed to carry something his party wanted - coming along back in his day and conceding BEFORE he instructed/ educated the media on what the public wanted??

When Pelosi is being interviewed by John Robert, she looks like she's been raked over the coals.

Why? Why would you ever EVER let yourself look like this. Why would you ever FAIL to use the expression "what the people want." (Remember that is what the Republican Congress, circa 1994 and on, let the media know: "We are the Congress, BLAH BLAH BLAH that the people elected, that the people wanted.")

Is it asking too much to ask that the Dems do this? That they acknowledge that the PEOPLE want this war ended. (Or would that acknowledgement make the corporate donors to their campaign chests wary?)

Why do the Democrats in power, again and again and again fail to see the importance of EMPHASIZING that what they are doing is the will of The PEOPLE -they are only doing what the PEOPLE want.)

Shame on Pelosi and the other "leaders" for caving, for failing to put up a fight. SHAME!

2) When you fail to put up a fight, then you are basically BEING, ACTING, and LOOKING like a coward.

3) Any politician who is worth their salt has read their Machiavelli

And has learned: You strike when the iron is hot

okay so at this minute they don't have enough votes.

But to make it sound better for our team, they add, in Spetember when it is proven that the surge has not worked, then the environment willbe better for change.

Maybe. But it's a big maybe.

I mean, do you HONESTLY think it will all be okay in September?? Putting aside the notion that the *only* downside <sarcasm> to this is that another thousand or so service people will have died, etc, there are HUGE ELEPHANTS in the central living room of the AMerican Psyche.

These HUGE ELEPHANTS in the living room of the collective psyche do include the US Attorney scandals. Including the oil price gauging. Including the fact that the President's polling numbers are in the BASEMENT.

Do you think if this was a Rove or a Gingrich standing up to a Clinton that he
would not have introduced these talking points into the efort.

Oh, I am forgetting - it wasn't a Rove or a Gingrich - it was the spineless SOUP lady, Pelosi (Jello having more wherewithal to stand up to an attack and an all out fight - SOUP is all I can think of with I think of Madame Spineless Speaker.

By September, if we let this HooliganBUSH stay in power, we will be in Iran. Or under his thumb due to another terror attack.
