Senator Feingold, it's time to censure Pat Roberts...

[Joe Fields]

while you're at it, for abuse of power and concealing information in an investigation that he is in charge of.

1. ??? Fill us in Joe

6. Since Roberts is in charge of the investigation of intelligence....

that led to the war in Iraq, he has stonewalled, called the effort a "complete waste of time, and hidden certain facts which he is privvy to, in order to kill the investigation.

A N.Y. Times article takes him to task on this subject.

2. Someone needs to do something, and Reid is too much of a chickenshit

to do what needs to be done.

I've said it for over a year now. We need to get Reid out of there as the minority leader. He is a spineless wimp. If he doesn't want to fight, he should step aside and let someone in there who will.

3. I reserved judgment in the beginning.

But I have been unhappy with his performance since not long after.

4. I assume you mean for not doing the part 2 on the intelligence

Feingold didn't sign the Kerry letter demanding this be done - why would he lead a censure movement? It would be better demanding it be done any way

5. I posted about this very topic here:

This one can't miss! He is the very symbol of uninformed Americans and legislators making uninformed decisions.

[Joe Fields]

7. Great minds think alike. Though, I might take slight issue.....

with calling Roberts uninformed. He is a pig, who has, yet conceals information that could be damaging to this presidency.

Abuse of power!

8. One of these days I'll learn how to write clearly!

I meant how the Iraq war funding supporting legislators made uninformed decisions. If the president (and the committee chair) withheld information that might have led to a more informed decision by the legislators (in that vote) and by the American people (in the 2004 presidential election) then they are culpable in the deaths of over 2300 US servicemen and -women.
