Who's this "us," my so-called democratic friend...?

robert parry reports on the "centrist" dems who, to use a word i have come to hate but that nonetheless applies here, want to adopt a policy of "appeasement..."
Reporting about a booklet issued by the Progressive Policy Institute, a think tank of the Democratic Leadership Council, the Washington Post wrote, “these centrist Democrats … warned against calls to launch investigations into past administration decisions if Democrats gain control of the House or Senate in the November elections.”

Many of us are disturbed by the calls for investigations or even impeachment as the defining vision for our party for what we would do if we get back into office,” said pollster Jeremy Rosner, calling such an approach backward-looking.

look... let's be real here... i'm no fan of ongoing, endless investigations, nor am i jumping up and down with excitement at the prospect of the agonies of a bush impeachment process... but, and it's a BIG BUT... bush, even though he may be a stooge and a puppet, is still at the head of the worst gang of criminals and constitutional scofflaws that have ever inhabited the white house... we need TRUTH and we need it bad... it's about time the dem leadership woke up and smelled the coffee...
