We brought you into this world, We CAN take you out

I am not sure where this came from, I have been jumping around quite a bit this morning. I know that its from a comment on some liberal blog, but it sums up the liberal blogger attitude towards the Democrat Party from this day forward:

Okay, guys, this is good……

But I’m warning you NOW that we must be on these new Dems from day one. They must come to know our names and hate the sight of new envelopes and emails from us. They must be made to tremble in fear at the thought of the Samuel L. Jackson level of righteous assbeating we will bring down upon their sorry lives if they don’t take the Democratic party out of the fetid swamp its been wandering around in for over a decade now.

I realize that substanitive moves toward fixing the Iraq clusterfuck, simply by their very nature, must come first. But these guys need to be aware that unless we hear SUBSTANTIVE talk about a living wage (as opposed to a "minimum wage"), about real health care, about fixing the mess our schools are in, about doing something to strengthen environmental regulation, and reigning in corrupt business practices, we will send each and every one of them home crying to their mommas.

The fact that the Dems won is not the time to STOP being angry. It’s the time to START being angry. Really angry. This party has walked away from everything its supposed base believes in through the last years, and they need to be made painfully, painfully aware of this fact. Don’t ease up on them. As we have given, so shall we take away if the party doesn’t get its collective head out of its collective ass.

And they have to know this. Everything that every one of us has done over the last weeks, months and years to bring this about will be completely wasted if they don’t.

What is the Mission?

Redeploy our troops out of Iraq- beginning as soon as possible.

Raise the Minimum/Living Wage

Investigations of War Profiteering in Iraq - Lawsuits that may get some of the United States funds back that have been stolen by Bechtel and Halliburton,etc.

Block Gates from becoming the next Secretary of Defense, if possible

Cease Military Aid to Israel

Repeal the Taxes to the Super-rich- redistribute to College assistance

Developing a plan to better assist our Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and Iraq Veterans- on all levels, from the PSTD suffering homeless to the families who have been bankrupted by Corporate loan sharks.

Building A realistic Healthcare plan - perhaps using some of the money we WON'T be wasting in Iraq

Rebuild OSHA and the EPA- Move to get rid of Bush's energy CEO cronies

Building a Realistic Anti-Global warming/Anti-Corporation pollution plan

Roll back all Corporate taxbreaks on ANY companies that have Outsourced factories, defaulted on workers pensions, or whose CEOs make 200 times what their lowest paid employees make annually.

Get to work. The Republican Congress that led us here was the laziest in History. I want this Democratic Congress, upon whom so many hopes have been pinned - to be the Hardest Working in History. Keep your noses clean and kick a Lobbyist in the nuts for Jesus!
AMEN.
