I give up.
In 2006, we gave the power to the Democrats to derail this train wreck of an administration. Here we are 12 months later and what have they done? Worse than nothing...they have enabled this Administration in every way and further besmirched the good name of this country.
Quite frankly if this is the best of the Democratic leadership, we are sunk.
Since 11/2006, we have gotten:
- An Attorney General who thinks torture is acceptable and the President doesn't need to follow the law
- A bill authorizing the President to wiretap without a warrant
- A "surge" of troops in Iraq and a blank check for the President to conduct his war
- The utter inability of Congress to even assert on whether they can actually stop the President from attacking Iran
- Likely telecom immunity for assisting the President in breaking the law
- A Congress that has taken no action as the Administration contemptuously ignored its subpoenas
- A Congress that took no action against an Attorney General who repeatedly lied directly to them
- Blackwater is clearly an unsupervised mercenary army acting on authority of the United States. No one has moved to stop them.
- Halliburton and others continuing to be paid vast sums of money despite repeated evidence of massive fraud.
- No rolling back of Bush's reckless tax plan.
I could go on and on. One can only conclude that our elected official are either incompetent or in support of this Administration. Give Lieberman credit, at least he is honest in his support of the President. The rest of them talk the game, but clearly they must support this Administration. And these four Democratic Senators who won't use their power as Presidential candidates to lead the Senate in standing up to this President? I give up on them too.
Dodd, I had some hope for. Maybe he will still surprise me.
Obama = "Senator Caution and Compromise".
Hilary = "Senator Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss"
Biden = "Just Shut Up and Actually Do Something. Does he Ever stop talking?"
Wake me up in 2009 when Edwards is President. If not let me sleep. And if Giuliani wins, just shoot me.
