Molly Ivins speaks for me!
http://www.progressive.org/

Enough of the D.C. Dems
By Molly Ivins, March 2006
"I don’t know about you, but I have had it with the D.C. Democrats, had it with the DLC Democrats, had it with every calculating, equivocating, triangulating, straddling, hair-splitting son of a bitch up there, and that includes Hillary Rodham Clinton."

10. Hired?
Hardly. They are elected. They are OUR public servants. It's damned time we hold them accountable, all of them.

12. Conservatives will always be with us
terrified of change and nasty and defensive when we call them on their wrong world view.

It's up to us to fire party conservatives via the ballot. It is essential for the future of the party that we do so. Only by eliminating the place holders who refuse to stand up for party, principle or people will we be able to offer anything resembling an opposition party to people sick to death of GOP mismanagement.

I sincerely doubt that will happen, though. People are angry and sick of GOP mismanagement and Democratic appeasement. My guess is they'll stay home.

19. Warpy, I think we are going to have someone stand up and
sweep us away at some point. Have some faith. It's going to happen!

6. She speaks for me too. I'm not voting for Hillary in NY this time.
I'm voting for her progressive, anti-war, anti-corporatist, pro-healthcare for all opponent, Jonathan Tasini. If you live in NY please check him out:

13. Hilary,etc,etc
One solution would be to vote out every single one of these worthless politicians in Washington! They care nothing about anything but money and power....it's time to clean them out. What a pack of sorry specimans.....both parties suck.

15. I agree..
.... over the last couple month I've been changing from "anti-Republican" to "anti-incumbent".

The Republicans are actively raping the country and the Dems are voyeuristically watching, apparently figuring that it's no skin off their asses so long as they get re-elected.
