Reply #27: They don't need the voters because they only need 35% real votes

[tom_paine]

to "win" 50.1-49.9% in COUNTED VOTES.

And even if the entirety of DU was silent about Democratic weakness, do you think it would change the message THEY send to their base, you know, the people who provide the arms and legs and ears and eyes and feet BUT NOT THE MONEY, that we are stupid, foolsih, not worth listening to, to be taken for granted until the next time our Democrtaic Leadership runs away from us and goes grovelling back when Bushler calls.

Read what happened to FISA. If you are a Marine, how can you look at what happened there and NOT feel a curdling of your guts at the cowardly weakness. They came running back like dogs, under the threat of a pResident with a 28% approval rating.

Remember when America was still free, how a President with a 28% approval rating was hamstrung and no one let someone with no support run roughshod over them. Nixon in '72 and Carter in '79, both hamstrung because they had no support from We the People.

Just curious: Why do YOU think those mores, once ironclad and which reign almost without exception for the 224 1/2 year of Old America, no longer applies today?

I am curious to hear why you think that is.

Another one: Why, during the latest grovelling FISA disgrace, did the Bushie bill pass and needed to pass and did pass with only 50 votes, but the Democratic alternative bill required 60 votes to pass, and of course failed?

Please spare me any technical explanations of filibusters, I know all about them. The definition of filibuster IS NOT the answer to the question I am asking you. Maybe yuou can help me. Why do things work that way now, and how come they seldom, if ever, worked that way during the 224 1/2 of the Old American Republic, God how I loved it so and miss it now. The Greatest Nation in Human History and Bushler unravelled it as easily as you or I would unravel a sweater.

I digress, so I will simply ask you another question. As a Marine (and I am a USAF vet myself), how can you look at that odious display of dog-like cowardice (THEY CAME CRAWLING BACK IN FEAR AND GROVELLED, GIVING CHIMP EVERYTHING HE WANTED AND MORE) displayed by the Democrats during the FISA incident and NOT have a negative reaction?

I though cowardice and toadying were unforgivable sins to Marine, and indeed should be to ANY LOyal American. That's what it MEANS to be American..we don't BOW to Kings!

But the Democrats do. They bow, scrape, whine, wheedle, toady, and then spit right inthe eys of the people who bust our asses for them every other year.

Last question: Why, if those things aboout not having the votes to impeach are true, and they probably are, at least in the absence of the mountains of evidence that would fall from the trees if someone had the balls to prosecuted New Hitler or his Bushies, WHY did the Republic Party impeach Clinton, under the same condition of not having the votes AND WITH NO REAL CRIME TO PROSECUTE, just a bullshit trumped-up perjury charge in which the Bushies committed FAR MORE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY in setting the perjury trap than Clinton did with his BJ?

Why did the Republics go forward with such a fruitless endeavor that was bound to backfire (it did backfire, right? Gore was elected in 2000 and is now President, right?)?

Answer that and you will begin to understand the disease that killed the Old American Republic. Maybe we can resuscitate it, but right now that is one fucking cold corpse.
