I keep wondering why our Democratic leaders are incapable of fighting Republican barbarians. (There is very little we Dem voters can do to carry this fight forward. -- We're not about to go into the streets with Tiki torches.)

There are plenty of tough Democrats out there who are willing to go head to head with the barbarians of the Republican Party. Congresswoman OAL, and others, have what it takes. Now, if the leaders of our Party would accept them and turn them loose, we may stand a chance.
