commenting on the Colorado three incident the the government is now sweeping under the rug.

Face it, folks, your representatives are cowards. A couple of testy letters isn't going to get the job done. There is a REASON why it isn't okay if you're a Democrat. It's because Republicans act like it isn't okay. *** THANK YOU *** !!!!

If the shoe was on the other foot, Republicans would be making a big deal about this. Democrats won't. They suck.

Democratic leaders will forget about this. Like they forgot when Tom DeLay illegally used the DHS to track down the Texas Democrats.

Like they forgot about Republicans hacking into their electronic files.

Like they forgot about Republicans calling the Capitol Police to arrest them.

Like they forgot about James "Bulldog" Guckert.

Like they forgot about Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

Like they are forgetting about the Ohio coin scandal.

Like they forgot about Plame for two years.

Like they forgot about the forged Niger documents.

Like they forgot about the forged TANG memos.

Like they forgot about Bush unconstitutionally diverting hundreds of millions of dollars from Afghanistan to Iraq.

Like they forgot about Paul Bremer "losing" $8 billion.

Like they forgot about the GOP paying Ahmed Chalabi to provde bogus intelligence and leak secrets to Iran.

Like they forgot about Condoleeza Rice blowing the cover of a Pakistani-Al Qaeda double agent.

Like they forgot about about the WH lying to Congress about the costs of the prescription Medicare bill.

How many times does the GOP have to walk all over Democrats before they give a crap?

They need to be screaming at the top of thier lungs every god damned day, all of them, that Rome is burning and we are going down with it!!!!!

3. It's not just the Democrats, it's the whole population rolling over
for this shit. It's absolutely clear that the whole bush farce is unsustainable, it's just a matter of time before the whole monster house of cards: Iraq, Economy based on reselling houses, education based on passing standardized tests, environmental policy dictated by polluters and so on will collapse.

7. I believe it's the 3 students
who were forced to leave a Social Security Selling Tour that Bush had in Denver. They didn't do anything, I think they may have been wearing Kerry T-shirts, but they got kicked out, and they pressed charges because as taxpayers they should be able to see their President.

Anyway, I think that's it!

5. boilerplate dem bashing, imo
that piece you cut and pasted from Kos, was probably cut and pasted from somewhere else.

The ratio of the amount of actual thought to the number of words is very low.

9. Locking, per the rules, to wit:
"Constructive criticism of Democrats or the Democratic Party is permitted. When doing so, please keep in mind that most of our members come to this website in order to get a break from the constant attacks in the media against our candidates and our values. ***Highly inflammatory or divisive attacks that echo the tone or substance of our political opponents are not welcome here.***

And:

"Please note that sweeping statements about entire groups of fellow progressives are not categorically forbidden. However, they are often inflammatory and counterproductive and the moderators have broad discretion to remove such posts in the interests of keeping the peace on the message board."

Thank You.
