Reply #49: Upset [View All]

[Donna Zen]

Upset by what? Frustrated by a lack of representation would be closer to the mark.

Yes, I know who they are because they have been listed here and on other boards. And yes, I did do my share of letter writing. In my case, both of my Senators are republican.

If you misread my initial post, I am very proud of the Democratic party--that is, the membership. I think considering how willing we are to work and compromise, to give and to take, we deserve some leadership. Real leadership--not just the brand that confines its duties to sending out those e-mails for money.

Furthermore--I believe in what we stand for. If I am frustrated it is because the Democrats who have received our votes are so ashamed of us. Yes, I mean that. Since the election, we have been called "God-Haters." Has one, just one, refuted the morals charges we up on? I don't think so. That the underlying polling does not show an increase in pro-bush data, one would think some Democrat with a mic, might have said something.

The opposition leaders in the Ukraine have stood up for their people, and thereby encouraged the people to stand up for themselves.

Getting a democracy with all of its magnificent pillars of wisdom back will be difficult, if not impossible.
