Thread Name: BS: Sheehan vs. Pelosi
Subject: RE: BS: Sheehan vs. Pelosi
Don, I think you don't understand Cindy. She is not expecting to win really but she is sending an important message to the "do-nothing" Dems in Congress. If it were Newt Gingrich, he would be walking out with the Rethugs to shut down Congress. Pelosi has managed to get bills to the floor that should never have been there. The fact that the Dems are not walking out or raising hell about what is going on gives them little credibility. They are playing Party politics.

Three points the Dems have to do to be credible.

1. End the Occupation in Iraq.
2. Demand campaign finance reform.
3. Curb K-Street and do a Teddy Roosevelt and bust the fascist corporations.

Then the other important issues can be addressed and their solutions will have teeth.

If the Dems confirm either Lieberman or Chertoff as AG in place of Gonzo, it's all over for them. You have to get that.
