If other Congressional leaders would speak out alongside Durbin,

[shance]

he wouldn't be on the scaffold like he is now.

Where are those other leaders? Why arent they standing by him?

Moreover, why arent they standing alongside the truth, which was what Durbin did? He was exposing our wrongdoing and where are the other Democratic Congressional leaders to stand by him and/or Conyers?

I believe this is why we have our best Democratic leaders barraged by an irrational, frothing Republican press corps, assaulted and worse.

Because spineless Democrats that like to play leaders on Capitol hill, but they refuse to BE leaders. As a result, they are leaving our REAL leaders vulnerable and isoloated as the spineless ones wave from the sidelines as the real Democrats go out and take the heat on their own.
