30. Ahhh...But 17 Democratic Senators
DON'T feel that way.
17 Democratic Senators have linguine spine, and believe that the vast majority of their constitutents believe that way.
Remember, a politician's job number one is to get re-elected. This is classic sell-out, and all politicians, on both sides of the aisle, are guilty of it.

When's the last time you saw a politicain stand up against the majority and be a leader, and make some unpopular decisions, knowing full well that, while it was best for America...it might cost him his political career?

The days of strong-willed politicians standing up for what is right is over.

I think Zell Miller is the only Democratic Senator who really DOES feel that way...then again, Zell isn't really a Democrat, anyway. He just carries the label. A real wolf in sheep's clothiing. Zell might as well bolt the Party, he has practically broken his neck to caucus with the Repukes on everything.
