Grow a Pair

Why have the politically correct police emerged from the Democratic woodwork and jumped all over advocates of accountability? Seems crazy to me that from within our own party is an apparently growing force of do-gooders who see it as their responsibility to ensure opinions are not too strong or objectionable. That certainly seems to be the case where Senator Feingold and his censure proposal are concerned. I have heard so many Democrats deny or apologize for the censure proposal, doing all they could to assure their Republican, conservative detractors that they have nothing to worry about. Of course the Democrats are not going to attempt to censure the president.

If I may be so direct, BULLSHIT! Of course we ARE going to censure the president and only because the government is skewed so badly against the Democrats that any attempt to impeach the bastard will fail.

The degree of acquiescence from Democrats is nothing less than vomit inducing. The obvious treason against his own party committed by Joe Lieberman can not be allowed to become the rule rather than the exception. Democrats need to grow a pair and then have them bronzed. When Republicans spew their talking points of disinformation, every Democrat should reach between their legs to get a feel of the metallic testicular orbs and, thus fortified, challenge the facts, the context and the reasoning of every disingenuous utterance from the Right.

The other thing that has caused the gag reflex to kick in is the perceived need by prospective candidates to be as committed to carrying on the war on Terrorism as the nutcases now prosecuting this failed and illegal occupation. Biden and Clinton have both attacked Bush for how he has handled the war and both pledge to continue to do the same thing.

I think that a Democrat needs to come to the fore of this party if we are to have any hope of taking back 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. or the institutions at either end of the street. The party needs an individual unafraid to speak truth to power, which is what we are not getting now. For instance, people of this country concerned that our democratic system of government is in jeopardy would most likely listen to a candidate willing to accuse the Bush administration of crimes we all know they have committed. Those who realize the current Republican leaders are willing to watch democracy destroyed rather than risk the wrath of the White House, would be happy to hear from anyone who will enunciate the offenses and transgressions of those whose job it is to oversee Executive authority.

Frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Democratic candidate with the best chance of being elected is the one with bronzed balls of such immense scale that they campaign on a platform of restoring democracy to the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches and by imprisoning those government officials suspected of having failed to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. If that means calling for the new Attorney General to take the entire outgoing administration into custody during the inauguration, so be it.
