Get up and walk out!

This would be so, so cool if they did it.....

William Rivers Pitt has suggested that the Democratic congress people should walk out of Bush's speech during the SOTU. Unfortunately, my Representative and two Senators are Republicans. So, no point in asking them to do this.

Here is a clip from Pitts:

"Understand this, congressional Democrats, and understand it well: you are not dealing merely with a body of political opponents in the GOP. You are dealing with a group of people that want you exterminated politically. The days of walking the halls of the Rayburn Building, sharing a bourbon with a colleague from the other side of the aisle, and hammering out a compromise are as dead as Julius Caesar. Collegiality is out. Mutual respect is out. They want you gone for good. Erased. Destroyed."

I have to admit there are some Democrats that they would not mind having around, like Lieberman for example. The Democrats that make us ashamed to call ourselves Democrats. The ones who are nearly as immoral and strong war-mongerers as most Republicians. But it is true that the good and decent Democrats they would like to see get out of there. Oh, and don't be fooled by the so-called attacks on some of the Democrats, like Kerry for instance. Kerry and Bush both belonged to Skull and Bones, they really were not that different from one another. And while they attacked Bill Clinton endlessly, now Bush the senior acts like he is Bill Clinton's best friend. They still hate Hillary Clinton, but she is as much of a war-mongerer as they are. She is as much of an unquestioning supporter of Israel as there are (why do we have Israel's interests ahead of America's?). She is as much of a corporation waterboy as any of them. Well, I think it is worse than "waterboy" but I don't generally use language like that!

If you have a Democratic congress person, please call and ask them to walk out of the SOTU. And then hold a press conference where they discuss what Bush said three years ago in the SOTU. And hold him accountable.

Oh, and call the White House and let them know what you think: 202-456-1111

I call nearly every day.
