I'm just wondering. I think it's important that we locate the people who promised change, who promised oversight, who promised an end to rubber stamping.
As we can read in this recommended diary by Maccabee, the plans are being laid, the preliminary work being done. Iran is in the crosshairs, and it's only a matter of time.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE DEMOCRATS?
Where are they? Did they get lost? Are they on vacation? Did they forget that they had a rather urgent appointment in Congress to stop George W. Bush?
I want to know where they are and what the fuck they're doing.
They promised change, they promised an end to the madness. Unless you paid close attention to the 2006 election, you wouldn't even fucking KNOW the Democrats won. They still act like the minority party, still act powerless, and still cower in the face of Bush's idiotic rhetoric.
Let me repeat that.
The Democrats. Are afraid. Of George W. Bush. And his WORDS.
HE CAN BARELY FUCKING SPEAK. And whatever garbled words he manages to squeak out send the Democrats shivering in terror.
Nothing changed, the madness continues, and the Democrats are now officially and willingly helping it continue. One of the most unpopular Presidents in history, a country overwhelmingly against him and his policies, and yet the Democrats are spineless.
I've been talking to someone who fancied himself a life-long Republican, a good friend of mine. He signed up for DailyKos within the last couple of days because, as he put it, "I feel like someone just took all my fucking money and now I have nothing." He's disgusted with the Republicans and the conservative movement in general.
The Republicans did that. The Republicans have been doing that for 7 years. Someone who I've known for years and years--who I never would have expected to leave the Republican party--is now praying for an Obama victory (but praying even more that Gore hops into the race). The Republicans have decimated their own party with their reckless behavior, and yet the Democrats do nothing except pose, give terse speeches, and make grand claims about what they're going to do.
In 7 years, George W. Bush and his Republican enablers have done everything they can to destroy this country.
Where the fuck are the Democrats who promised change?
I'll tell you where they are. Those spineless fucking cowards are simply waiting until Bush leaves so they don't have to DO anything. They send out letters, vote on censures, and talk talk talk so they don't have to actually stand up and DO something.
I'm so tired and angry. I feel betrayed, and I feel like a fucking moron for telling all my friends that "We have to elect the Democrats in 2006 because things will be different with them."
Guess what? It's still the fucking same.
All their grand words, all their promises, all their claims.
All bullshit.
The Republican collapse has been so thorough that it could have taken them years to recover, but the Democrtas refused to capitalize, instead choosing to capitulate.
Well, now I'm about to give up on Democrats. It's that bad and I've come that close to the fucking edge.
The Democrats have made their choice. They've chosen another year and a half of being the Minority party, but with more numbers. They'll come to this site and post their little diaries about how hard they're working and how they're going to give it their best, but fuck them.
I'm tired of their lies, their empty promises, and their enabling.
They need to decide whether they're going to fight back or surrender.
They need to decide whether this country is worth fighting for. I think it is.
The Democrats better wake the fuck up and realize what's at stake here.
It's not just about future elections, assholes.
DO. YOUR. JOBS.
