Reply #70: I understand your impatience [View All]

I would like to wake up and have this war be over too.

I am not trying to belittle anyone's pain, but I also think it is unfair to expect a new, slim, Democratic majority to change things in 6 months, especially knowing the culture of Washington. I wish they acted more quickly, but Pelosi is working against Republican party knee-jerk discipline, and she needs the Republicans, at least some of them, to be on board.

I know that Cindy feels the urgency and is transmitting that. But by threatening Pelosi, she has not guaranteed any change in Congressional strategy and she is upsetting many of us who desperately want a Democratic win in 2008 for many reasons.
