5. Chicks Had Guts...Unlike Most In Congress

I like country and I've liked the Chicks. I like them even more since they had the guts to tell America what they believed and to truly put their own career on the line because of their beliefs about GWB, and the war in Iraq.

How many in Congress who were supposedly in the know were afraid because they might lose their job or a future political opportunity?
