tugmoose Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 At least that's what Andrew Sullivan sez: Schumer and Feinstein Surrender They both intend to vote for Mukasey, despite his refusal to state that torture, as practised by this administration, is illegal. Every time the Democrats fold on these matters, Cheney tucks a precedent under his belt. Every time they cave into their cowardice and fear, another critical part of our liberty disappears. These precedents are designed to destroy the rule of law and replace it with the rule of a Decider. And they will last for ever, as will the right to torture, because this war is for ever. This is how democracies perish. The rule of law no longer has any party to defend it. The Republicans want no check on the powers of our de facto protectorate. And the Democrats have no spine. We live under the lawless protectorate we deserve. And such lawlessness is always the result when cowards refuse to confront bullies. Whatever your view of the administration, can there be any argument that the Democrats are a bunch of pussies? You heard me, I called you a bunch of PUSSIES. Now, you gonna do something about it? I didn't think so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luke79 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Uhm...Vote against dick headed individuals like yourself would be my first impulse. Sorry, "What would be, Vote against dick headed individuals like yourself"? I always forget to answer in the form of a question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 So because democrats are pussies, you are going to vote against some guy who posts on an internet message board? Am I reading that wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 i find it very interesting that we keep seeing threads with quite hateful titles/topics against the democrats/hillary, yet there hasn't been any threads of that sort with the word Republicans or any of their candidates. even the threads discussing the current administration don't have such fierce titles. i think that says something...

Two words - Big Brother. I keed. Seriously though, I am REAL disappointed by this news regarding Chuck Schumer. He was the guy who really got in Gonzales' face. I think Pat Leahy should have a little talk with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Better mannered? Lazy? I think a lot of these threads mimic, in large part, what happens in the national media: finger-pointing and name-calling from both sides. In a large sense, it's become comedic in a Gilbert Gottfried vein. At least for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Does it say that Democrats are more resilient? Better mannered? Lazy?Probably not, because if memory serves, both this thread and the Hillary thread were started by lefties... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 67 votes is a REAL tough nut, anytime. I guess the hope is (for me, at least) that those Republicans who continue to blindly follow this President will get swept out in another year and by then the Dems will have an overwhelming majority. It's really hard to speculate of course, but this Administration could destroy their party for an entire generation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, not against a random moron on a message board, but against the people that moron would elect to office. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tugmoose Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Besides the fact that I'm a dickhead moron (that's ok, I started the name-calling), I guess my sentiment was derived from my sense that the Democrats in congress will always cave. And I foolishly keep hoping they'll prove me wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites

street spirit Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 No, not against a random moron on a message board, but against the people that moron would elect to office. he's "liberal" - which is a misnomer the way it's used in America - who exactly are you going to vote for?... in fact, that's sort of his point. that the Republicans are evil but the Democrats have no backbone. you should be more angry about that than the fact that some guy on a message board used the word "pussy" and pointed out the obvious.

bjorn_skurj Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I can see why the Dems would not block funding for the troops, but I agree that they should have held their ground on this one. The Justice Dept. will be fine without another Bush hack at the helm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
