Reply #85: Senators. SenatorS! [View All]

All the Democratic Senators should stand up. All! And any Republicans who are true patriots.

And why NOT do this as your first political action in the Senate? Stand up for our right to vote in a verifiable election. Stand up against the BushCon bullies, liars, cheats, thieves and mass murderers.

Who voted for Obama? BushCon delusionists? Nope. Red-blooded Democrats, who would love to have SOMEBODY defend this country against the criminal cabal that has taken it over.

I have never seen such a cowardly, whining, naysaying, nihilistic, hopeless bunch of so-called Democratic commenters as those at DU today touting the "political suicide" line.

We are the party that created and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. And the fascists in the Republican Party have been trying to destroy us ever since with their "Southern Strategy" of appealing to white bigots.

And they've failed time and again--and have only succeeded in recent years by cheating--because bigotry is disgusting to most Americans.

We are the poor! We are the black! We are the brown! We are the gay! We are the defenders of women's rights! We are the students and intellectuals and artists! We are the scientists and the professionals who run this country--the teachers, and nurses, the writers, the techies, the medics and fire fighters! We are the maids and the garbage collectors! We are the small business people! We are the environmentalists and human rights advocates! We are the majority, and we will not allow anyone's right to vote to be taken away, including our own!

Obama knows this speech. Why SHOULDN'T he give it now? And why shouldn't every Democrat in the Senate stand up for the principles of the Voting Rights Act and an honest, verifiable election?
