4. It's not all Harry's fault..........

Part of the blame can be laid at the feet of a system in which anyone can call him/herself a Democrat and run for and win an office.

Blanche Lincoln, Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson and all these other wishy-washy Dems should have had to jump through hoops and pass some kind of litmus test before they received the support of the DNC to run for office.

I'll say it again, these blue dog Dems are walking "monkey wrenches" in our progressive agenda.

5. that too, but I am thinking right now of why LIEberman still has his committee chair?

a majority leader with spine would have yanked it the minute he opened his mouth today. well, a leader with spine would have kicked him out a long time ago,.
