#1 Upset that you realize you're only a tool of the entrenched power brokers?

Should have figured that out when even in New England you couldn't defeat Joe which was the one and only real contest based upon the war. You think the Donks want to give up their recently reacquired power by playing to your losing strategy?
They don't exist for you, they exist for power and while you help them in achieving that, you can also destroy that. They're not going to place themselves voluntarily back out of power.

Yeah, it much more fun and enjoyable not to be a tool, but that is what you chose. Now have a hissy fit.

#2 MoveOn was running VERY specific radio ads (on conservative talk radio!) explicitly calling on Steny and the dems to vote moveOn's way, "brought to you by the 3.2 million members of MoveOn".

I was thinking "only 3.2 mil?" I thought there were a lot more of them than that...

#3 that's what tehy would like you to think, Sea. I bet the numbers drop after they realize how ineffectual they really were. Just ask Sen Ned Lamont

They are particularly noisy, shrill, and annoying beyond their numbers.

Looks like the donks are losing their base. What now? They are counting on global warming as the election issue.

#5 There's a part of me that wants to register over at DU and Kos and start posting comments like this:

For all their rhetoric, Pelosi and Reid have always been reliable stooges for BushCo and the neocons. They voted for the war, and they've voted for every funding bill Shrub asked for ever since. They're as much the enemy as BushCo.

If I did that, would that make me a bad person?

#6 If I did that, would that make me a bad person?

Well, maybe from their perspective, but certainly not mine.

#7 Yes, Mike, registering at DU would be bad.

That was your concern, right?

#12 The big news this week is that Hillary sold out the troops as her way of celebrating Memorial Day. May buy her the Democrat nomination, but she just lost the vote of any American that gives a damn about this country.

#13 Bright Pebbles and Mike (#9 and 11) - Ya think it's easy writing headlines that resonate?

The Washington Post headline was Democrats Prepare for Another Funding Battle - How boring is that?

Anyway, if resonates means you liked it, I am pleased to be in your service!

#14 whenever I think of media resonating, I'm drawn to "what's the frequency, Kenneth"

#15 I'm clearly overtired. I read the headline properly earlier today, but this time I flashed on poor dear Antiwar from Australia, who was so proud of her reading list. Some of you old timers will remember her trollery, and how she and that Turkish lad seduced the previously gallant Mr. Davis from the side of his loving wife.

The rest of you will either disappear into Fred's archives (is 2004 the right year?) or think me mad. ;-)

#16 Murat, the Turkish lap-dancer and Antiwar were a 1-2 punch of stupidity and hate-America

ROFL!
