Molly Ivins Has Ovaries

Why can't the Beltway Dems get them? It does get discouraging out here in the woods, listening to "leader" after "leader" talk with a mouthful of mush. The Democratic Party really needs to grow up, marginalize the morons like H. Clinton, "I Don't Know When To Shutup" Biden, Joe "I Love Bush" Lieberman, & lead the country. Jeez.

"What kind of courage does it take, for mercy's sake? The majority of the American people (55 percent) think the war in Iraq is a mistake and that we should get out. The majority (65 percent) of the American people want single-payer health care and are willing to pay more taxes to get it. The majority (86 percent) of the American people favor raising the minimum wage. The majority of the American people (60 percent) favor repealing Bush's tax cuts, or at least those that go only to the rich. The majority (66 percent) wants to reduce the deficit not by cutting domestic spending, but by reducing Pentagon spending or raising taxes.

The majority (77 percent) thinks we should do 'whatever it takes' to protect the environment. The majority (87 percent) thinks big oil companies are gouging consumers and would support a windfall profits tax. That is the center, you fools. WHO ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

I listen to people like Rahm Emanuel superciliously explaining elementary politics to us clueless naifs outside the Beltway ('First, you have to win elections.') Can't you even read the damn polls?"
