I just got a call from a democratic group wanting my money.
I told them that I heard Jim Mcdermott,democrat, on radio this morning saying they had not decided how to get out of Iraq!! They had four years to decide and get all the dems behind the plan and do the behind the scenes actions. They had four years and they did not do much. I told them they get my money when I see actions. I also did not like the fact that they took impeachment off the table.!!!
We are only 6 months after the election that put them into office and they are asking for more money. And we get no action in return!!

11. Their first priority should be ending the damn war
IMO, nothing else matters until we stop throwing our money at Iraq and bring our troops home.

5. I agree....
not one damn dime from me until they do something about the war in Iraq. They said that was the mandate and they understood it...so act like it.

Even if they can't get legislation passed at least TRY.

6. they had 4 years? Uhhhhh....the repukes have been in power for 12 FREAKIN' MISERABLE years
In the House and we lost the Senate in the 2002 mid-term election. The Democrats just took over Congress in JANUARY. This is March. They've been in power for 3 months. They've done more in 3 month than the repukes did in 12 YEARS. You do know that the repukes held NO OVERSIGHT HEARINGS on this administration, right? How many have the Democrats held since January?
