Cenk Uygur from Air America's The Young Turks often contributes to Huffington Post and has a message for the Democrats who voted for the wiretapping bill:
They are under the ridiculous assumption that voting against this president on any national security matter would hurt them politically.You ass clowns, he is the least popular president in history! Nixon spent nowhere near this much time at a 25% approval rating. In fact, when Nixon got to be this unpopular, he was forced to resign. Can you imagine Democrats capitulating to Nixon on critical legislation days before his resignation?...
...What if he took away all of the rights of a US citizen? Would they fight then? If you answered, well, surely in that case they would fight back, you were wrong.The administration already took away all of the rights of two US citizens, Jose Padilla and Yaser Hamdi - and the Democrats did nothing, zip, zilcho, nada. The courts ruled to protect American citizens' rights in those cases, but don't worry, there's still time for Congress to reverse them. Just wait till right before the next summer recess or next election and the Democrats will give this administration anything they want on a silver platter.
It's time to start wholesale primary fights against all of the capitulating Democrats. It's obvious all they care about is protecting their own power. They think the only challenge to that power will come from the right side of the spectrum. It's time to make them reconsider their assumptions.
While trying to find the website of The Young Turks radio for the above link I found this great You Tube of Cenk talking about why the Democrats are such wimps. I think his analysis is right on:
My favorite line: "Primary the crap out of them."
My only question is: When is Feinstein up for election and how can we convince Warren Beatty to run against her?
