fair weather dems

hmmm.. so it appears the democratic party may have some backbone after all. Leahy's speech today in support of a filibuster to prevent a vote on patriot act reathorization gave me chills. Hell ya, it's time for checks and balances, buddy. Just wish you woulda thought of that 4 yrs ago!

So do the Dems only have guts when they think they have the votes? Well, let's just hope this is a foreshadow of fighting days to come. It may just keep me going to Democracy for America meetings...maybe I can reunite w/my former party yet.
