I'm on the GOP mailing list and this morning they sent around a link to a video that says that the Democrats are the party of 'No'. First, it's tired. That was so, three weeks ago. Second, I say thank goodness for Democratic obstructionism.
Without the Democrats obstructing we would have Bush's horrible plan for privatizing our social security.
Without the Democrats obstructing we would have lost PBS.
Without the Democrats obstructing we would have had the Senate rubber stamping Bush's uber-fascist judges.
And what have the Republicans done when they weren't obstructed? They took away Terri Schiavo's last shreds of dignity with some sick psycho displays on the Senate floor and in Florida. And Bush launched a war on a country that never attacked us and created a second Vietnam quagmire which is killing American soldiers, men and women, every day.
I understand that the Democrats can't stop every crazy stupid idea this President has. They weren't powerful enough to stop Iraq, which is the worst of all of his mistakes. But they have tried and they are becoming more effective at putting a stop to this crazy train of Bush's illegal presidency.
When it comes to opposing fascist right wing dictators like Bush, we aren't the party of "no", we are the party of "Hell NO!"
