Sounds like the Dems are asking for Gonzales' rotting corpse in exchange for their vote for this ill-advised legislation: Get rid of Gonzales and we will vote for this,seems to be the Dems' ask. Instead of growing some cojones and going after him by getting behind Jay( death penalty) Inslee's impeachment of Gonzales proposal, the Dems wuss out one more time and give Bush and the Neo cons another victory.

Dems and the centrist pragmatists that love them will never learn.

Ralph Nader is about the worst thing to happen to the Democratic party since, well, since I don't know when.

How the fuck can president no approval rating have any ability to exert pressure on Democrats?!

The headline should read "Useless corporate whores now helping fascists consolidate power".

The green party is the only party that openly supports the gay community. Why more gay people are not supportive of the Green Party I don't know. Do you really want to support parties that are against your lifestyle.
