Yes, thanks.  I think kos' comments are irresponsible and said so in my post there.  What is truly outrageous is putting political considerations ahead of principle.  This has been a consistent thorn in the side of democratic party strategy.  We must advocate for doing what is right because it is the right thing to do, and get ourselves away from acting on the basis of political calculation.  Then, and only then, will we be able to regain the respect of the American people.

exactly

the idea that we wouldnt push for impeachment because it would give the repubs a chance to make thigns right and come out smelling better than a pot of shit is so laughable to me.

we should worry more that the dems would actually be successful at this, get control of congress and the white house, and screw it up themselves.

booman you make so much more sense than kos and bowers.

what is up with dems anyway?  annoint and clear the field for moderate anti choice candidates, back off impeachment because they are afraid the repubs will pull a 600 lb rabbit out of the hat...what special powers do they think the repubs have anyway?  this reeks of fear....fear of losing....what kind of warrior is so afraid of fear they dont want to fight?  the dem leaders show everyone just how emasculated they are by not standing up for what we are supposed to believe in.

Yeah, what is up with this 'Abandon and alienate more and more of our base so we can win' crap?  And now, to follow it up with the 'Let Bushco completely destroy the country before anything is done to stop him, so everybody knows how good the Dems are' strategy.  Hello, we are already in a deep hole in this country that will take years, if not decades, to dig out from.  Kos' plan suggests that we should go the way of post cold-war Russia and suffer a total economic collapse first, and be happy about it.

Pravda, anyone?

Cabin the Elder read this too, and thinks BooMan is right on, and Kos' ego is out of control.  His words, not mine.

Absolutely.
