BTW – Both my Congressman and Senator are Democrats.

I wrote to both my Congressman and my Senator yesterday about this. I told them if they choose to do nothing about ending the war, nor exercising power to check some of Bu$hCo, they’d better forget about getting votes in 2008. Dont’ stretch it out, then run on a platform in 2008 of ending the war when you didn’t do anything.

I also told them to not underestimate the desire of the voters to impeach or severely neuter Bu$hCo.

We’ll see what they do… (probably nothing)

Nancy Pe-Lousy and her vile crew have NO intention of doing anything to undo the illegal powers Bush was given by the Republican Congress. Contrary to what the media is reporting about ‘…the Congress is powerless to stop Bush’, Congress voted to give him the powers – they can sure as Hell vote to take them away.

What more evidence do AMERICANS need to DEMAND THAT CONGRESS IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY? (Oh, sorry, that would mean that Congress would have to give up the majority of their own traitors in the process. How silly of me to expect morals and scrupples and the obeying of Oaths to “protect and defend the United States.”)

THE EVIL AND THE INSANITY MUST BE STOPPED NOW!!!!!!

The Democrats are spineless. Either cut all funding for this illegal, immoral war for the wealthy corporations or forget about getting any vote from me. Yeah, yeah, THAT ought to hurt ‘em.

Apparently the Democratic party has no ability to convince right-wing bloggers that insisting on proper training and equipment (read, armor) is actually ‘supporting the troops.’

When will the nation as a whole realize that ‘Supporting the Troops,’ in Republikanspeak, is the new “Support the president no matter what?”

I seem to recall in the recent past, some brouhaha about the Pentagon being unable to account for some billions of dollars of funds. Why not a quid pro quo — the military budget is reduced by the amount unaccounted for? If DoD wants money, they should show where it all goes, eh? Or is this idea (accountability) too simple for Demos to grasp?

Ric says pentagon couldn’t account for billions.

Actually Ric, on Sept. 10 2001 The pentagon announced that they could not account for over a trillion dollars during the previous two or three year period. It just went missing. Thats like a convoy of eighteen wheelers loaded with hundred dollar bills disappearing. No biggie, they just ask for more

gene, the same thing can be said about U.S. corporation CEO’s. Those guys think they are worth a 1000 normal paying jobs and all I can see from them is a bunch of a-holes (the old monkeys in the tree model) that arn’t worth 1 paying job.

For examples, look how well the U.S. big two carmakers (Ford, GM) are run these days. It’s a nationwide problem.

I wonder how difficult it would be to change the drumbeat from ‘Support The Troops’ to ‘Support The Contractors’, since I’m told slightly over 50% of people doing ‘military business’ (yeah, I know, highly loosely defined) are contractors…
