It's if you have the balls to call for the Vote.
Really. That's what all of us want. We understand that you may be spinning in the wind on this one. We know it, truely we do. What we want is for you to try.
You know. Like they always told us in grade school. It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game. That was a life lesson those elementary teachers were trying to impart to our hard little heads. A quite important one, as it turns out. It teaches children that sometimes it is better to try and fail, than not to try at all.
More below the fold.
Did you learn that elementary lesson, Speaker Pelosi? If so, then may I ask, "what the hell are you waiting for?"
Enough is enough.
Dirty politics (phone-jamming phone banks prior to the election in New Hampshire)
Secretive, Sneaky, Executive Branch Officials (Dick Cheney, hey, do I really need to list the thousand links on this one for ya?)
Outing an Undercover CIA operative during a time of War (whose field was Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East)
Commuting the sentence of the only person convicted of any crime related to the outing of an undercover CIA operative during a time of war (Doh, even Homer Simpson would have passed on this one!)
How is this not enough for you, our duly elected Representatives in Congress, to get off of your weasely asses and Do Something. To be quite specific, when I say Do Something, I mean do what the Constitution sets out as the Congressional fallback position to reign in an Executive Branch run amok - Impeachment. I know that you know this one by heart, but just in case, here it is for you:
Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section Four
I'll accept it if you fail. But if you don't even try, then heaven help the democratic party come november of 2008 - because you may find that the citizens of this nation will be telling YOU that enough is enough, and we may find ourselves with the first independent candidate elected to the White House in over 150 years.
Seriously.
