http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-10_iPus9gI posted this video on Nov 4, 2006 - at 1:00 min in is that banner (in the title).
We here on DU were anti-war, impeach bush, get dems in power and fight like hell to end the war and the bush regime.
We may differ here today on things, from Cindy to Nancy, but I still remember tonight how we were geared up to get a dem majority in power, however slight it might be, and fight the power.
We marched, we protested, all to end an illegal war where thousands were dying - both Americans and Iraqi's.
We won that election.
Is it any wonder that some folks here are upset that we are still there - dying and killing?
We are all on the same side here, we want the same thing.
And yet it all goes on.
Forgive me for being frustrated. But I am.
We won. And maybe reality is that we did not win enough, we can't do more, etc and so on.
But I would rather fall standing for something then fall while supporting something I see as wrong.
I don't care if we have the votes to impeach or to stop this war. I care that we try with all we got and show the people we stand on the principles for which they elected us.
America needs a hero, someone to fight what we are up against. We need leadership, not someone following polls or worried about elections.
The world is waiting on us to make a stand and show them we are serious about making a difference.
