Note to Dems: this blogger thinks it's tie-yourself-to-the-railroad-tracks time

"gutless sellouts" is a little harsh and i don't think the majority of what i would call the liberal/progressive wing are necessarily using that kind of terminology... i do feel, however, that the united states is experiencing a constitutional crisis of unprecedented magnitude and that, if there ever was a time to stand up and be counted, it's now... in all candor, i don't see all that many in the democratic leadership speaking to the american people about just how serious things have gotten... oh, yeah, kerry and kennedy and murtha and louise slaughter have raised their voices and there have been others as well... i'm glad for any and all who have the courage to stand up to the bushco mafia but, to me, this is tie-yourself-to-the-railroad-tracks time and the dems - ALL of them - should be doing just that...
Democrats are getting an early glimpse of an intraparty rift that could complicate efforts to win back the White House: fiery liberals raising their voices on Web sites and in interest groups vs. elected officials trying to appeal to a much broader audience.

These activists -- spearheaded by battle-ready bloggers and making their influence felt through relentless e-mail campaigns -- have denounced what they regard as a flaccid Democratic response to the Supreme Court fight, President Bush's upcoming State of the Union address and the Iraq war. In every case, they have portrayed party leaders as gutless sellouts.

could it be that the bloggers are the only ones REALLY PAYING ATTENTION...??
