Disappointed in the Democrats

Democrats have a reputation of being wishy-washy; flip-floppers; perhaps even cowards. I've tried to refute such labels easily tossed about by conservative opponents. But now I have to side with the likes of Rush Limbaugh. It's sad to say that the Democrats — at least those WE elected to Congress — are indeed totally gutless and without resolve. And they have acted against our will.

I'm speaking, of course, about the Democrats giving George W. Bush the funding he wants for his war without requiring any timeline for a troop withdrawal. Once again, the Democrats have handed Bush a blank check instead of holding him accountable for starting a war based on lies, a war that costs American lives every day, a war with no end in sight and no clear explanation as to why we're there or why we went there to begin with.

As Keith Olbermann so aptly said in his recent Special Comment:
"Few men or women elected in our history—whether executive or legislative, state or national—have been sent into office with a mandate more obvious, nor instructions more clear: Get us out of Iraq."

Olbermann went on to say, "You, the men and women elected with the simplest of directions—Stop The War—have traded your strength, your bargaining position, and the uniform support of those who elected you… for a handful of magic beans."

Our government has shown once again that it is out of control and without accountability. But it is up to us to demand accountability, no matter how futile that sometimes seems to be. Contact Congress today!
