The Left Coaster has an open thread about Republican corruption that is a laundry list of left wing blogosphere retreads (click through for links):
Update: Mister Opus1 has another excellent example of (Kentucky) corruption writ large in the Republican party.
How much longer does the list have to get to stir up the Democratic party? The blogosphere cannot carry all of the Democratic party's water for them. They have to find their own voice and their own spine.
Will it take a criminal conviction before a single Democrat in either the House or the Senate files an ethics complaint? Credit where credit is due to John Conyers, Louise Slaughter and a very few house Democrats.
On top of the long list of blatant, in your face corruption, there is the extensive list of Bush/Republican policy failures. I honestly cannot name a single Bush policy that has been a success. Can somebody help me out?
Iraq war, failure. Afghanistan, failure. GWOT, failure. Overall foreign policy, failure. Tax cuts, failure. Employment, failure. Overall economic policy, failure. Stock market still at about 10,500, failure.
The list could go on and on. Where are the Democratic critics? Is Hillary's comparison of Bush to Alfred E. Neuman the best that Senate Democrats have to offer? That's it?
With one or two notable exceptions, there has been little or no criticism from House Democrats. Speeches on the Senate or House floor do not count. Whatever it takes, Democrats have to force the message of corruption and failure out into the public square.
There is no reason to wait until the election. The time to speak truth to the American people is now. Say it loud and say it proud.
Bush is a failure. The Republican party is a failure. The Bush administration is corrupt. The Republican party is corrupt. The President of the United states is weak. The President of the United States has dishonored his office. The President of the United States is a liar. The President of the United States has no honor.
Failure and corruption. Corruption and failure. Over and over and over ad nauseum and ad infinitum. You can say it a thousand different ways. Corruption and failure. Failure and corruption.
