    A Challenge to Salon.com

    What happened to the Democrats?

    Why are they so afraid to speak out?

    Where is their outrage?

    Is the media at fault?

    Did Rove shut them down through intimidation?

    What is going on?

    I challenge Salon to get to the root of this:

    Ask each of the Democrats from the Senate and House the above questions and more.

    I tried and receive generic replies. Maybe we all should ask the questions to our Democratic representatives.

    Otherwise, they will win, and the whole country will suffer badly for it. We're heading for a destroyed environment, collapsed economy, massive unemployment, and who knows what terrorist incidents fueled by the actions of Bush and Co.

    We're heading that way now. What are you gonna do?
