Should we support Dems who caved on "Intelligence Failures?"
We all know Bush lied to get us into Iraq. Am I the only one sickened by Dem "leaders" who agreed that it was all just a big "intelligence failure" but still the right thing to do?

Where are the courageous Dems calling for impeachment?

1. Take 'em out in the primaries. Support them in the general.
That goes for *every* single issue you disagree with a Democratic politician on. And ALWAYS keep in mind that you will NEVER agree on everything with *Anyone*.

3. Not
What if they go too far? What if they announce that a few of the constitutional amendments (1st and 4th) are no longer in the national interest? Or that we all should carry national ID cards and be arrested if we get stopped and don't have it handy?

I see where you are coming from. But you way of looking at things will never work for me.

2. Let's See
I don't think any have yet, unless Kucinich did, but we would have heard about it.

I still don't understand how "the right thing to do" is to attack a country that was contained and wasn't a threat to US national security.

But, then again, I'm not a politician, and have never been very good at lying to myself.
