We need an intrepis Democrat who will go on national TV and tell the American public the truth:the treath of Islamic terrorism as an existentia threat to us is astronomically exaggerated. Each one of us has a much greater chance of dying from the flu, electrocution, falling off a step ladder, not to mention traffic accidents, than of ever being injured or killed by Islamic terrorism. The great leader of Islamic terrorism is hooked to a dialysis machine, rides a mule and lives in a cave, while we have the most powerful and best equipped military the world has ever seen. Islamic terrorism greatest success against us could have been foiled if anybody in the Bush white house had payed any attention. The grossly exaggerated therat of Islamic terrorism is nothing but an excuse for corporate America and the neocons to make astonishing profits and achieve imperial supremacy. In order to accomplish that they need to curtail our civil rights and freedom, and 9/11 was the excuse they had waited for all along. Is there one Democrat who is capable of saying this to the nation?

Congressional Democrats suffer from an advanced case of primordial fear of being labeled by the right wing as "soft on homeland security" and "soft on terrorism". This paralyzing fear is the root cause of their persistent and repeated capitulation. It's hard to imagine what would change that.

Why exactly should be believe this felonious regime when they tell us that there has been "increasing chatter" indicating a looming terrorist attack? What kind of truth telling track record do they have that should oblige anyone to believe a word they say? They have been crying wolf for 6 years now. The one time they refused to see or hear anything we had 9/11. This claim of "increasing chatter"is just another scam on the road to a police state with no civil liberties. Jim Webb and his Democratic colleagues have fallen for this crude con-job, and probably not for the last time.

The American people probably don't deserve to live in a democratic republic. They could care less about democracy. All they want is an easy access to the mall, credit cards that go through and news that begin with Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan and a double murder suicide. 90 percent of Americans don't own a passport and are completely ignorant of the outside world. Most Americans believe that Creations explains the birth of the universe. Most Americans aren't even aware of the FISA violations, of their ever diminishing civil liberties and of the Bush regime crimes, nor do they care to find out. Maybe they'll start craving a democracy only after a few years of living in a police state, but even that is doubtful.

The Congressional Democrats and most Democrats in general believe that the Republicans play by the same rules they do. They are like those people who just couldn't believe, despite all the alarming indications that Hitler would actually do the things some warned he was going to. They just can't believe that republicans steal elections and supress voting, so they don't forcefully challenge voting results in Democratic districts that mysteriously end up with a Republican majority. While republican goons physically prevented recounts in Florida, the Democrats would never do something like that, and of course no democrat ever showed up to confront those goons and allow the recount to go on. Gore didn't fight for his Florida victory beyond the legal challenge and Kerry gave up on tOhio while the information on the massive voter supressin there was coming on. The Democrats panic very quickly and just refuse to believe that Bushism, Cheneysm and neoconservatism are what they actually seem to be:blatant fascism. Giving a fascist regime even more authority to eavesdrop is sheer lunacy, but the Democrats of course believe that the Republicans believe in the Constitution and in the rule of law.

I want to see one prominent Congressional Democrat go on the senate or house floor or on a major network and say: 'We won the 2000 elections but the Republican fraud machine stole it from us. We won Ohio in 2006, therefore the election, but the Republicans snatched that win away from us through massive voter intimidation,voter registration suppression and forced long lines in Democratic districts and of coursewide spread electronic voting machine hacking.'

95 percent of the population is totally unaware of this. When I mention what happened in Ohio even to Democratic voters, they are compleletly surprised and unaware of it, since the MSM never mentions it. Unless a prominent Democrat dares discuss it in a manner that gets the attention of tens of million of people, the Carl Rove apparatus will just continue stealing elections while the public isn't even aware of it.

For any democratic form of government to survive, a system of checks and balances must function. Any time an executive branch refuses to be checked by the other branches, democracy is over and tyrany has taken over, which exactly what took place in the US since Bush took over. Giving an exectutive branch that's rejecting checks and balances even more power is totally crazy. Chris Dodd is talking about becoming more of a skeptic when he should be screaming bloody murder about tyranny, subversion of our Constitution and immediate impeachment.
