Very good points.

The only way to stand up to a bull is to fight back hard and on their terms. If they want to slug it out, then that's what you have to do.  Last night, several Dems actually screamed at Republicans...and I think they actually meant it. That's a good start.  

Also last night, John Tierney (my Congressman) stood his ground in the well of the House and basically told Duncan Hunter to go shove it up his ass. 

Tierney called Hunter a "phony" for holding that picture of an injured soldier and alleging he/Hunter and the other Reeps cared at all about the soldiers. instead, Tierney said (I paraphrase here), "if you really cared about the soldiers, why would you strip words from Murtha's offering that clearly highlighted a gradual and safe withdrawal of the troops in a reasonable time frame...rather than imediate termination and withdrawal?"

Excellent post! You are absolutely right about the Dems and the DLC neutering the party.
