you make us sound like a bunch of Sans-Culottes sharpening our pikes and waiting for the word that the revolution has started.

We're not. We are disappointed by the spinelessness of the Democratic leadership in Washington, not only over the Censure issue but over the Patriot act, the supreme court, the bankruptcy bill (but the Censure dance is for many the straw that broke the camel's back). We have watched a cabal take over the gop and have watched as a checks and balances are replaced by something that sounds very much like the divine right of bush to do what ever the hell he wants to. We have a respect for the idea of the rule of law, of checks and balances, of a just society. It seems like the Washington establishment is more worried about nice lunches and getting along. We are concerned about things like the 4th amendment.

We don't think a moderate democrat is worse than a republican. We DO feel that a DINO (such as Lieberman) is worse since he can be counted on to a) undercut the party and b) given the way the media works these days get lots and lots of coverage as he does it thereby increasing the damage.

Last thought - if we sound offensive you make take it as a given that we are offended.
