Scarecrow–Yeah- I think you’re on the right track there- but you’ve got to make sure that you can deliver on that promise. Nothin worse than an empty threat followed by nothing- that’s why GW Clusterfuck’s in political trouble with Korea. Too much “cryin wolf” as Redd points out.

I think the smartest thing the Dems could be doing is to tap into the incredible anger and disgust that’s out there, and tell them to get ready for mass action, cause the Repubs aren’t going to go down without pulling every trick they can. Cafferty on CNN and others are already setting the stage. The warning will put the country and media on notice, and would probably motivate people to show up and pay attention. Then if anything does happen, we’re ready and the media are prepped. I’m serious. What this country needs is a General Strike.

Hey, way back on 74, I was pondering the general strike notion just today. Knowing the GOP neocons won’t go down without a fight post Nov.7 I wonder how far they will go and how far we will have to push back.

Egregious- like the cut of yer jib- dems take both houses- OK! Next?

Not if Barbara Boxer gets her way. She supports fuckin unholy Joe. I hate her as much as I hate him.

Get this FDLers, Barbara Boxer is NOT an anti-war senator. Anyone who supports Lieberman, supports the war. You can’t have one without the other.
