Reply #10: I am shocked at the response to Cindy on DU [View All]

Perhaps she has said some things that may not be correct and that most on DU disagree with, but where were all of you when she stuck her neck out to condemn the war. She almost single-handedly brought the wrongness of the Iraq war to the national forefront. I believe we owe her a debt of gratitude for standing up to power and being a whipping post for the repubs.

As for running as an independent. That's her choice to make. And I understand her frustration with Pelosi. I, too, feel that Pelosi is ineffective and a complete failure as a leader. Taking impeachment off the table was an act that was so bad as to be unbelievable. Pelosi has shown absolutely no backbone, no direction, no leadership, and no character. Pelosi should be replaced in the next election. Not necessarily by Cindy, but by someone who has some intestinal fortitude.

Impeachment is not an option. It is a duty. Not impeaching is the democrats saying that what has happened over the last 6 years is okay. Impeachment proceeding should be brought against both cheney and bush even if there's no chance of succeeding. The reason is to let history record that the dems didn't just stand by and fiddle while the repubs raped the country and looted the treasury.
Let the repubs go on record and vote against impeachment and say those things are okay.

History will record this era, not as how bad the repubs were, but how the dems sat back and did nothing.

The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing. And that's what the dems are doing...absolutely nothing.
