Jerry,
Dems are beginning to do something about it. We're getting the facts out. Also we're starting to mobilize at the grass roots level. We've got a governor for Montana and Washington State. We're looking at country commissioner seats, school boards and local races. I am part of the Grass Root Dems and we are growing. Howard Dean is traversing the country encouraging Dems to get busy and elect local people. We are protesting the debacle in Iraq (check Ted Kennedy's speech) and we are writing letters to the editor of newspapers. Believe me, we are not whining but will be a formidable force in the future against this incompetent and dictatorial Administration. Karl Rove, Lee Atwater and the like don't have a monopoly on political action. They may have a monopoly however on dirty politics.

Bush is already digging himself in a hole over both Iraq and gutting Social Security. Also senior's prescription prices have gone up and AARP knows it.

Our biggest problem is the Republican wing of the Democratic Party. We need to reclaim our true base. We can't allow the Liebermans, Froms, Marshalls and the Frosts to speak for us. We can't allow Reid to dance with the other side of the aisle. It's equivalent to going to bed with them. Peter Beinart doesn't speak for us either since he's "more of the same". I am writing the DLC all the time in protest.

Right now the Christo-fascists are in power but it's not clear how long their propaganda will be able to prevail. People will wake up and find that their Social Security is being attacked. These elections in Iraq are a farce and will fail because it's not about freedom or democracy really. It's about corrupt Allawis being indebted to the corporatocracy in the U.S.

We are writing letters to the editors of newspapers, talking to our congress people, and our think tanks are growing daily. The problem with Neo-cons is that they think that criticism of their views is whining. They did not have a clear mandate with the percentage that voted for Bush. It was the lowest margin of difference in the history of presidential elections.
We have the right to criticize and to question whether they have the mandate that they think they have.
