Reply #41: "Demand" of them? [View All]

[Q]

The problem seems to be that there are not enough Democrats DEMANDING that the leadership do their jobs. You call it a 'demand' to make it look unreasonable for an American citizen to expect politicians to do their jobs. In the two-party system in America...it's their job to oppose and represent those who vote them into office and pay their salaries with their hard-earned tax dollars.

That's right. They're our employees. They're public servants. They're supposed to represent us...not the monied interests that stuff their Cayman Island accounts.

If you 'demand' nothing of politicians...that's exactly what you'll get.

Thank God all Democrats aren't like you. We'd be polishing Bush's hobnail boots forever if it were up to you.

On edit: and why is it that YOU don't seem very concerned with Bush revisionism? Is it your position that he got 'bad intelligence'? Or did he manipulate it to make it appear as if Iraq was a threat to national security?
