Note To All Dem Senators: Are You With Your Base, Or With Bush?

Either you support Russ Feingold's resolution to censure George W Bush for breaking the law and lying to the congress and the American people, or you're a Bush-humping sellout. Simple as that. Where does your Senator stand?

2. If it's censure - YES, they should support it.

If it's censure while downplaying impeachment, then I'm not so supportive.

Neither will happen in a Republican controlled Sente, but it is well worth

sending the message that this president, nor any president, is above the law, and he flaunts the Constitution and the rule of law at his peril. We are a nation of laws, and not of men. You know, all that stuff we are taught in school.

It is past time for the Democrats to "play nice." Playing nice will get you nowhere in the corrupted media world we live in today.

4. It's one of the few times you might even HEAR that Bush's behavior is

criminal - the newsmedia has built up so much protection for him these past 6 yrs, it's ridiculous.

3. neither - they're with their constituencies

some of them would paint their ass blue and stand on their head two hours a day if that's what they thought it would take not to lose their office. That's not strength.

5. Easy. Most are finger in the wind Congresscritters

Their heads are buried in polls and focus groups. No wonder the electorate is confused on where Democrats stand on important issues.
