My response to Carl Levin fundraising letter: Do more than just harm me less than GOP

[yurbud]

Sen. Levin,

I appreciate the oversight hearings the Democrats have been doing since winning in November, but they are failing abysmally to do the two things Democrats want most: remove Bush & Cheney, and end the war in Iraq. Not only have you failed to take meaningful action on either of those two, you even failed to effectively block or even protest much their plans to invade Iran.

Frankly, you guys seem to take opinions and welfare of average Americans about as seriously as you do designating a national butterfly. You give us non-binding resolutions and empty platitudes. But when defense and oil companies come knocking, you hand out hundreds of billions of dollars and spill oceans of American and Iraqi blood.

If the Democrats want my money, they have to do more than just harm me three percent less than the GOP.

Love,

Yurbud

I think I'm a little impatient with him in light of a big lie he told about Iraq a few years back, that made it look like Democrats were knowingly complicit in the corporate looting of Iraq.

The Michigan senator, who is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee and a frequent visitor to Iraq, said that one of the few points on which the main Iraqi ethnic and sectarian political groups agree was that all want U.S. forces to remain in the country. The Bush administration should use that consensus to forge political compromise, Levin argued.

1. I don't blame you.

"Hey, at least we aren't Them" isn't enough of a stance for the Dems to take.

Just my 2-cents....

4. 2 cents is about all we'll get from Dems in congress too

2. But Since We're Not Allowed To Vote for A Third Party...

...all we are going to get is the party that sucks, and the party that sucks less.

3. that's why we have to make them fear us more than their pimps
