Ran across this post on one of the other political messageboards I frequent. It makes some pretty salient points for us progressives. It's time for us to stop letting the GOP put us on the defensive. The failed policies of the Bush administration and the neo-conservatives need to rest solely on their shoulders.

Conservatives like to point out that the Dems have controlled Congress the last two years...we should remember to point out that even though we have a majority, it is NOT veto-proof, and we haven't even got enough of a majority to get a cloture vote in the Senate through. So, still, the GOP is blocking any attempts that the Dems in Congress might make to try to stop the slow slide downward of our republic by threatening filibusters and vetoes by the President.

I will not forget.

I will not forget that we were told we should attack Iraq after 9/11. I will not forget who told us that, and the reasons they brought forth for doing so. I will not forget who claimed that there were weapons of mass destruction. I will not forget the claims of terrorist ties in Iraq, and how attacking Iraq would be punishing those who perpetrated that horrible day in September. I will not forget who made these claims, and who controlled our government at the time. And I will not forget how wrong they were.

We will never forget and we must keep reminding those who do.
