He is now so fluffy and puffy as these poodles.

This farce is beyond comical it is now down right sad:

Armando fluffs and puff his poodly little heart out

The other defeatism is coming from the Left blogosphere. It is the knee jerk reaction of some to condemn Democrats before they have even decided on the issue. This is defeatism of a very dangerous sort. Why? Because it makes even a success a defeat.

Now, does this mean the fight is over? I say decidedly no. We must cajole, urge, fight with and plead with our Democratic Senators to do the right thing on principle and politically.

What we must NOT do is what too many in the blogs are already doing - declaring defeat; calling Dems cowards and worse; condemning them instead of cajoling them.

When we do this we declare defeat TODAY! IF we have lost already, there is no chance of success a week from now, a month from now. Senator Feingold has welcomed the fact that his resolution will be taken up in the Judiciary Committee. We should also. We should understand that only the first act of this drama has unfolded. There is more to come.

Declaring defeat NOW let's them off the hook now. It's not a question of trusting them, as one friend of mine wrote to me today. It's a question of understanding and thinking about what will be most effective in bringing pressure to bear on them in the battle to come.

I submit that declaring them a lost cause TODAY is not only not effective in this fight, it is harmful. Before we decry the defeatism of our Democratic officials it is best that we avoid it ourselves.

This reminds me of those smarmy info commercials for lawyers who want to take your insurance company to court. I find it irreprenhensible that you have to buy insurance only to pay one of there crooks to get your claim processed. This is how I see this whole bunch of ambulance chasers, Kos, Jerome, the Trained Hamster etc... they want us to pay them so they can shake down the politicians. Perhaps this is why they are so dead against real progressive politicians and consider voting fraud "ok"... real progressive pols and clean voting would leave them out of business and blog ads.

Why in the hell are these same people promoting Casey and any useless "fighting Dem" for office then freaking turn around and expect us to keep paying and pleading with these assholes to do their job in DC... go figure...time to buy my own damn opera glasses... this is getting interesting.

My gut feeling is that those "the Dem leadership" see a win/win situation... they have distanced the real progressives from the blogosphere and they have effectively muted the power of the blogosphere by sending Kos on wild goose chases and making him pubically flip flop for money. They would rather have the blogosphere monies dry up ... than go to the "wrong person" ie Hackett, Cegelis etc... that is far more dangerous... they can always hit up their friends in the corporations... but having millions of lose cash floating in the campaigns is more worrying... Lamonts defeat will substantially curtail online fundraising.

In my view the Reids and the Emmanuals see this fighting poodle as more of a nusance than a help... they will still used the idiots to tear down progressives and special interest groups but they are not making in headway with their so called "reform" which is basically impossible when you are in the pocket of those whom you are suppose to be reforming.

No wonder Kos is getting "rave reviews" for writing a book bashing womens orgs and NAACP without one peep against the DLC... seems that is the quickest way to make a buck in DC.

Had this last bruhaha been about NARAL... then they would have shown the world their tough little growls... like the little bitches they are... I see that the Trained Hamster didn't miss another opportunity to bash NARAL AGAIN.... the boyos are drooling over themselves to fp her. According to her rational because NARAL has endorsed Lieberman every misdeed he now does is an opportunity to attack NARAL... funny if that is the case then Kos is personally liable for his FP drooling of the racist, bigoted homophic Redstater... yeah... didn't think so... some bloggers are more equal than others.

is blowing the margins.... as long as no one ''replies'' to your comment, you can "edit". Can you resize to small? SOmething around 200 x 200

Thanks...

Is it me or are the trained poodles threaten a revolt to unleash the great unwash masses.

At this point, I suspect we won't make the predicted gains because most people feel helpless about the political situation in DC.

What every Democratic challenger should do at this point is run against DC. Not just against Republicans, but against the entire frickin' town. It's a mess. It's a disaster. Run against it. Run against Pelosi. Run against Frist. Run against DeLay. Run against Biden. Run against the Democratic consultants. Run against the whole lot of them.

Promise to shake shit up in DC, and maybe people will perk up. Maybe they'll decide they don't have better things to do on Election Day than trudging to the polls.

and more poodle attacks:

For my money, I think Democrats around the country should run against DC Democrats.

Ok this is not so realistic when the poodle then FPs Massa GOP extraordinaire.

Are these... not so veiled threats... if so then the poodles just confirmed what their true relationship is to the "DC Dems".... namely to keep a lid on the unwash masses... pay to play on his FP...

We don need no stinking FEC badges
