Look at What They DO
_In 2003, House Republicans, on a procedural vote, agreed to kill a Democratic amendment that would have added $250 million for port security grants to a war spending package.
_Two years later, nearly all House Republicans voted against an alternative Homeland Security authorization bill offered by Democrats that called for an additional $400 million for port security.
_Senate Republicans stood together in 2003 to set aside a Democratic amendment that would have provided $120 million more for port cargo screening equipment.
_One year later, all but six Senate Republicans voted to reject a Democratic attempt to add $150 million for port security in a Homeland Security appropriations bill.

These facts should should be on every billboard in the nation this summer - a wedge to kick the bums out of congress. Will the braindead dems pick up the ball?

Well, if the Dems do pick up the ball, we'll know if they have any life left in them. Otherwise, we're in deep doodoo, if they can't figure out how to repaint the conventional wisdom with the truth.
I didn't know this, Gypsy.
You're right. The Dems should be screaming this at the top of their pathetically weak lungs. It's high time someone take it on the chin for the team.
Course, trying to get Dems to be team players is a kind of like herding cats.
Ain't it bitch? The Neo-Con's arrogance is only exceeded by their hypocrisy. The only war they are whiskey-bent and hell-bound on waging, is on the truth.
Hey RD,
I think we're in deep doo doo, because every time the Dem hierarchy has a choice between a new and principled, candidate; and a new and weenie candidate, they back the weenie!
Hey MM, glad to see you back, hope you are feeling better!
Herding cats is easy compared to getting a Dem to stand up for what his constituents want and need! I'm starting to think they're all feeding at the trough.... oink!
