I hate most of our congressional democrats
Just got done watching Gephardt on This Week and Daschle on Fox.

Daschle was incredibly disappointing, saying W is likable, asked directly if he is competent, Daschle says yes. Basically, to Daschle, Bush is a swell guy, but we have policy disagreements. Why is he even on Fox giving it credibility?

Gebhardt doesn't answer questions. He just goes into his pre-programmed "my father was a milk truck driver and teamster" nonsense to every question.

No wonder we are a minority party. Our leadership is passive and clueless.

1. Every time they do that, I flash back to the SNL skit

on Johnnie Cochran..(to Judge Ito)

"Your honor is a handsome man, your honor is a fair man, your honor is...."

Most politicians talk out of both sides of their mouths (well except for Cheney)and out their asses..all at the same time..

That's what has turned off millions of people. They tell the people they are going to help, and then at the first opportunity , they cut and run and cozy up to the enemy".. That's why people don't want to vote..

There is no reason why , in FORTY YEARS.. we could not have solved the most pressing problems that we keep debating ..every session..and yet never solve..

2. I don't hate them
but the "regulars" on the sunday shows--who are afraid they won't be invited back if they actually act like leaders--aren't doing much to help.

As I pointed out in another thread, we need to avoid the mememaking that goes on every sunday morning--Gore's a liar, Clark's a waffler, the Chimp is honorable.

Check out my thread for examples.
