Namby Pamby Democrats

Okay, so Harriet Meirs withdrew from Supreme Court consideration. Pardon the phrase, but THANK GOD! What bothers me, though, is that the Democrats just have ridiculously poor judgement. When this President (who is, at the very least ideologically opposed to the way Dems would like to do business) is on the ropes, making dumbass decision after dumbass decision, do the angry Dems go for blood? No. They leave the dirty work of denouncing the President to the religious right. Dude, if ever there was a time to throw in with the far right, this was it. She is ludicrously unqualified and the Dems should have stood up and said so. I suppose they were afraid of the next pick W would make. Well, that's no reason to back a nominee by not protesting her nomination! Let's all roll over and piss on ourselves, shall we? Besides, wouldn't it be interesting to highlight to red staters that there are things we actually agree on? Wouldn't that be a nice fucking change of pace in this country for once? Agreeing on one thing does not mean we need to get into bed, but it does demonstrate to the country that politics are not as simple as the sound bite would have you believe.

I'm sorry, but the Democrats have got to get angry. They have got to stop being the guy at the party who just got dissed by the waiter and stands in the corner with egg all over his face in disbelief but still looking smug and superior. We all hate that guy! We hate that smirking nincompoop who doesn't stand up for himself but says snide little comments to no one in particular. Get pissed you fucking pantywaists! A little righteous indignation could go far. After all, you can't win this way anyway so you might as well try something else. Get pissed, get loud and get in charge. I'm sick of waiting for you! I'm your base and you are losing me. The only reason I am still here at all is because I don't see a viable alternative. Well, that just isn't good enough. Shape up or I will defect and just hang out with Nader for a while. You can't afford to lose me. You need me, fuckers so get on the freaking stick and have some balls for once! You are supposed to be a workers party! The workers of this country have guts, determination and persistance. Why don't you?
