1. fed-up, you are absolutely right!
If the Dems think they are PROTECTING their seats/careers by not taking a stand, I got news for them. I will work to get them OUT and replace them with people who actually have a backbone. Since when did the core document of our country -- the Constitution -- become less important than one's job? Without that document, nothing else matters.

5. I am so disgusted & getting near tears about lack of visible Dem response
to Feingold's call for censure.

Is the Constitution really "just a scrap of paper" as * claims?

snip..
"The American people already made their decision," Cheney added. "They agree with the president."

I know this is Rove framing the issue, but I want to hear quickly some Dems take a strong stand on this backing Feingold, there are no if, ands or butts to this...

7. I'm with you. I am totally disgusted with nearly all of them.
Believe me, I am going to let them know. If I have to call and email every frigging day, I'm going to do it. My 2 year old nephew has more courage than any of the congressional Dems do!

at any Dem who is refusing to take a stand with Feingold on this issue.

Note to wishy washy Democratic leaders - us citizens of the democratic party are going to hold you accountable for this.

Ya know what I don't understand is this - the President's poll numbers are tanking. Poll after poll says that people would tend to vote Democrat over Republican now, so what the hell are these idiots AFRAID OF?!!!!!!!
:grr:
