If you ask me, I think the country is dead tired of WIMPS.

There are NO leaders in this country - except maybe Feingold & a few others who are OK but I can't think of their names right now. Even leaders need followers - Congress is a cowardly place with the Repukes grasping onto power with whatever idiotic high-school peer pressure stunt they can get away with :eyes:

I know we NEED to get as many Dems into office as possible, but it turns my stomach to think of working for some of these DINOs. There will never be a better time than now to stand up. Who will be our leader?

have a beer with him and not John Kerry!

WE NEED ALBERT GORE! * He needs to start his campaign today!

The various "leaders" usually have a grand time leading us into wars and other entertainments detrimental to health and well-being of the non-leaders.

A true leader who walks the walk and talks the talk.

Not a politician.

Brilliant in war and peace.

Stood up to the Secretary of Defense and won the war in Kosovo without losing a single American soldier.

Stopped a genocide because it was the right thing to do and then got early retirement because he stood up for what he believed in and for what was right.

Have you heard him speak? He's great one to one and fabulous in small groups but on Fox, he backs up what he says with logic, good sense and a dazzling incandescent smile.

I hope you're being facetious because I can't imagine Clark doing a Johnson daisy-cutter nuke commercial.

Jeeeee ZUZ Kee-Rist!

Now would be a good candidate--for the need of a true American leader. One who values the "Truth" and who also cares more for the people than for the Corporations and/or Wealth.

That seems, at least or especially among Democrats, to be an underlying need we all seem to be feeling. We're ready to pitch in if only we had someone to lead us, organize the masses and tell us what we need to do. For some reason without such we seem unable to do much of anything.

as if you just described Mr Gore.

Terrific as far as I'm concerned. Gore is my favorite and I think that he'd be our best bet for achieving the reform we need, if he chose to do so. In any case, we need somebody to step up--and yesterday wouldn't have been too soon.

"If you ask me, I think the country is dead tired of WIMPS."

The all-caps 'WIMPS' could only mean one thing to my poor little brain. WIMPS.
Weakly Interacting Massive ParticleS.

... the country is tired of those WIMPS, they don't even know what they are :)

simply didn't occur to me. I must get out more ... interact with people.

On edit: You're mostly right, I think. But while all wimps are the same, non-wimps come in many varieties. Some good, some bad.

* billed himself as a non-wimp, and spun Kerry as a wimp. Eh.

.. since I got here in 2002. People are coming around, but not nearly quick enough.

with Bush, either out of fear, or greed, or maybe a combination of both, or maybe something else. The Dems, when they do speak out, oftentimes back off and apologize when they are critized by the Republicans and the whackjob Righties. I'm sick and tired of it. I want someone -- no, I want more than just ONE someone -- to stand up and say, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." And call this Administration on its evil, destructive, killing ways, and NOT BACK DOWN when the other side starts crying "foul". THEY are the foul ones! They are the ones who are destroying this country. But the Spineless Ones are allowing this to happen by not standing up, speaking out, and not backing down.

:hi:

(Look at my namesake - no politician. No wimp.)

You'd THINK someone like Dean or another straight talker would rise to dominance, but no.

Dennis Kucinich!

the country would be in great hands with any one of these fine patriots.

spying, mealie mouthers, hijacking our religion, hiders, insiders, liars, killers, theives, smiling dickfaces, smirking chumps, fucking losers, asswip'n brownnosers, country killers, environment rapers, moochers, scum buckets,vox network, FAA, SEC, World Bank, FEC, information hiders, more than half of SCOTUS, and mainly and
mostly bushitler,
dishonorable dick,
red rover,
gopher,
red rummy and
snowjobtheblowin'job
Tired of the whole mutherfook'n lock stock and barrel!

the Repugs, I was struck by how disgusted even the business community is by these guys. This is not the first business leader saying these kinds of things. He also made a point of how divided the Dems are. When will the Dems get real. When will they quit playing nice. Better to be outrageous and make headlines. We're all tired of CYA politics.

The only time my husband liked Kerry was the incident where he forgot to turn off his microphone and was overheard calling them "the dirtiest bunch of ?? That got his attention. He immediately started listening to Kerry and was dissappointed when he went back to being civil.

The debate in the House is rigged in the Repug favor. Why didn't Nancy Pelosi just stand up and say that since the Repugs had no intention of participating in an actual debate but were simply grandstanding, the Dems chose not to participate. THAT WOULD MAKE NEWS!

They are acting like WIMPS and I am really tired of it.

not afraid of how he's polling. If every Dem in the House and Senate would start calling these guys out for what they really are, corporate shills, crooks and liars, we would win big time!!! Personally, I'm tired of the civility, I want them to stand up for what Dems used to stand for!!
