69. It's not a deathmatch between the two--I just think sometimes the expectations gets blurred
Edited on Tue Nov-13-07 02:51 AM by jpgray
What an activist can say fearlessly to promote a stance, a politician may not be able to say if he or she wants to -enact- that stance. This in no way excuses the behavior of our delegation, but I wish people would consider the reasons -why- Congress isn't just impeaching right away, or why the war hasn't been starved of money. "Keeping our powder dry" is a lot of nonsense, as was "impeachment is off the table." There's a definite failure of leadership there, but wouldn't such weak "official" stances be expected from a tiny minority with skittish freshman members? Doesn't excuse it, but it seems people believe Pelosi could just wave a wand and have the whole party behind her for impeachment.
