The Democrat's capitulation

Paradox at the Left Coaster exactly expresses my sentiments on the Democratic capitulation on NSA spying:

One more thing, again for the record: if there are any Democratic “consultants” to our elected DC Democrats or even the elected officials themselves reading this, please know how searingly painful it is to witness Democratic capitulation to Bush on the NSA spying scandal.

After reading Digby and Greenwald yesterday sleep was elusive—again—and I’ve been up since 0330 reading and worrying. I want our elected leaders to know that for people like Digby, Steve and I there is no other place to go but our party. To leave or condemn too sharply does not help, so great anguish over party leadership behavior is accepted, shouldered and made the best of. Please see the post below.

Year after year after year, defeat after defeat, the party liberal base still puts up, shows up and votes for you. Then Harman and Daschle put on that little show last Sunday. For the record I hope you understand how incredibly painful it is, and how totally un-fucking-deserving you are to be honored with the loyalty of men like Steve Soto. You sons of bitches, it hurts like hell.

For the record. It may be inappropriate or immature or poorly written, I don’t give a shit, I had to say it. It’s 0532 now and very thankfully I get to log into work—I don’t have to think about politics for another 12 hours.
