there is no excuse for not doing what is right.

i get that the dems are being pragmatic about things, but that's not getting them anywhere either.

i can count on one hand the number of dems who outright say that this war is illegal and that this entie administration is complicit in numerous war crimes and has broken many constitutional laws.

their job is to represent us, do right by the constiution by following the letter of the law and keep the administration in line.

instead they triangulate, manipulate, stall and play us, trying to garner the best results for 2008 no doubt. i get that's what they are trying to do, but i don't agree and i don't approve. i expect my elected officials to do right by me and to do what they swore an oath to do, and that's uphold the onstitution.

what they are doing now is undermining the constitution and allowing criminal behavior to go on unfettered and unpunished. you can't hold the upper hand, reside on the higher ground or be taken for a honest person if you are a hypocrite. they need to do what's right and let the chips fall.
