So why say it then?

...it goes without saying I want to wish everybody and their family a happy and a healthy new year
...said Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Democratic Caucus chairman, anyway, at a Democratic Party press conference the other day.

But Cindy Sheehan, the terrifying peacenik mommy who's been raising a ruckus about Iraq for a while, knew what needed saying and got right on with it.
"We're here to let the Democrats know that the grass roots and the anti-war movement elected them to create change," declared Sheehan.

(Raw Story)

Begging the question whether it was the "grass roots and the anti-war movement" that elected all those Ds to Congress, Sheehan's point sticks. The Ds are where they are because a lot of voters want some things in Washington changed.

As far as I'm concerned Emanuel and his D buddies can say what goes without saying all they want, as long as they get what needs doing done.

And good for you, Cindy Sheehan, good for you.
