Sure is popular to call dems "traitors" and "wackjobs" lately

After being called that for 7 straight years by repukes, a person really has to wonder just who's posting that crap around here.

;)

by people who don't understand the Constitution. I've been called worse-Once I was called a "Communist" by some fool who was amazed when I busted out laughing at his remark. I told him some of my earliest childhood memories included seeing Soviet occupation troops in my home town, so calling me a "communist" just cracked me up.

because i want to vote my conscious.

The war hasn't ended.

Bush and Cheney are still in office.

Corruption and sneaky deals are still running rampant in Washington.

Americans voted for change in 2006.

What's changed? :shrug:

There are countless investigations going on. Healthcare is on the table. The internet is safe for now. Our wounded vets are no longer lying around in their own urine. The Senate Ethics Committee is back in action. Many 9/11 Commission recommendations are being passed. A bill to increase financial aid for colleges has passed--the single largest increase in college aid since the GI bill. The President's signing statements are being investigated. Legislation to restore haberus corpus has been approved. The Senate Armed Services Commitee has passed legislation "that would grant new rights to terror suspects held at Guantanamo Bay. The unions have a voice in the government now—as do gays, women, and minorities. The environment has a fighting chance. The House passed the Taxpayer Protection Act, to protect taxpayers against "identity theft, deceptive Web sites and loan sharks." It also makes it "easier for taxpayers to retrieve property lost as a result of a wrongful Internal Revenue Service levy and directs the IRS to notify lower-income people that they qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit." The House approved a bill spending $1.7 billion over five years for cleaner water. There's a new House committee devoted solely to addressing the issue of global warming. And so on.

"President Bush's success rating in the Democratic-controlled House has fallen this year to a half-century low, and he prevailed on only 14 percent of the 76 roll call votes on which he took a clear position.

"So far this year, Democrats have backed the majority position of their caucus 91 percent of the time on average on such votes. That marks the highest Democratic unity score in 51 years."

Don't let the media rhetoric fool you. The Democrats have acquitted themselves quite well--especially given their bare majority in both houses, and a relentlessly obstructionist Republican minority.

Just DLCers.

I agree.
