What is this crap anyway? And all these people are worried about their damned images?! Where the hell's the guts? If the GIs that saw combat against Hitler in WWII had taken this attitude, we'd all be speaking German now. These people were voted into office as legislators. If the laws they make aren't worth standing up for, even at the risk of censure, then why the hell are we paying them? I think they owe us, this country and the principles upon it was founded - even if it does mean political suicide. To my way of thinking, that risk goes with the territory. How much does a U.S. Senator make during one term? Probably more than most of us make in 20 years at a regular job. And don't their benefits follow them after they leave office? I'd love to have a gig like that for six years! C'mon Right Honorable Muckety Mucks! It's time to pay the piper! Get off your dead asses and do the job we pay you to do. There's a democracy in the balance. What's that you say? You're worried about your legacy? Worry about what history will say of those who could have acted but didn't when America fell to fascism!
