OUCH! Molly Ivins lays it on the line for the Dems: "Put up or shut up!"

she pulls no punches on this one... every paragraph lands a haymaker... i'll only give you a few short snippets to tease you into reading the whole thing...

• I will not support Hillary Clinton for president.

• Enough. Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling, enough not offending anyone.

• There are times when regular politics will not do, and this is one of those times. There are times a country is so tired of bull that only the truth can provide relief.

• Who are you afraid of?

• Can't you even read the damn polls?

• Oh come on, people -- get a grip on the concept of leadership.

• You sit there in Washington so frightened of the big, bad Republican machine that you have no idea what people are thinking.

• Do it all, go long, go for public campaign financing for Congress. I'm serious as a stroke about this -- that is the only reform that will work, and you know it, as well as everyone else who's ever studied this.

• Bush, Cheney and Co. will continue to play the patriotic bully card just as long as you let them.

• The minute someone impugns your patriotism for opposing this war, turn on them like a snarling dog and explain what loving your country really means.

• If the Washington-based party can't get up and fight, we'll find someone who can.

you go, girl...
