Congressional Leadership, are you with us or are you against us
It's time for the leaders in congress to start speaking out against this total disaster of an administration. I truly believe that if any of our political leaders do not start speaking up and supporting the total withdrawal of military personnel from Iraq, and addressing these neocon scandals they should be fired by we the people, every last one of them.

I don't care if they are republican democrat or independent, if they support this administration or this illegal war in any way they should be removed from office.

For the republicans who have chosen to ignore the scandals as they stack on top of each other, we should hold them directly responsible for the war crimes that have been committed by the neocons. Their refusal to address even the most obvious criminal activity is a breach of their oath of office. For example the eight billion dollars missing from Iraq, the abu ghraib torture scandal, the outing of a CIA agent, and on and on, this shit has got to stop!

We as Americans can not allow their negligence in the name of their political party to stand. We must organize and take back the house in 2006. If we win then we take no prisoners and show no mercy. I am a religious person by nature and I pray to god that someday these people will pay for their despicable inaction. As for the dems, if they continue to take a pro Iraq war stance then they should be opposed in primaries. I am sick of belonging to a party that acts like republican light, you hear me Hillary?

Congressmen who threaten to bomb Mecca for Christ sake (no pun intended), what the fuck is going on in this country! we must fight this, our children will suffer badly if we do not

Okay, today I am angrier than I have ever been about this shit, can you tell? :grr:

2. If any of their own did decide to actually come clean...
..they'd be hailed by Americans as heroes in the end.

Can you imagine what those who were given the "hush medals" are keeping mum about?!?! :wow: :wow: :wow:

"Let's keep this between us guys"

3. I can tell
But, you're absolutely right. We have to take control of Congress and the Senate. That's job one. It's a numbers game. But we also have to hold our representatives feet to the fire, and say enough is enough!

You were lied to, to get us into this war. But there was plenty of evidence (calling Scott Ritter) they were lying. Now there is NO excuse to support this war. Either straighten up or get out of the way.

is that a rhetorical question? Sorry, I guess the last 5 years, and especially the last 5 days or so, have utterly destroyed my faith in our "Congressional Leadership".:mad: :mad:
