Sorry, it seems I have misdirected my disgust. But you are right, I am appalled at the way Republicans were able to be totally stampeded by the likes of Chuckie Schumer.
Apalling. In fairness, though, I have to say that the White House could have seen this coming.
There is a lesson here, taught once again as if it were needed: NOTHING is too low, too putrid, too dishonest, or too damaging to national security, to be off limits in their overweening desire to reclaim power in the interest of their leftist idology.
Intelligence and courage have never been strong points with Congress.
I can see how you might have thought that, given it's not too far off the mark of what folks have been saying. Maybe a little more blunt than they strive to be because put in those terms it's indefensible to hold those positions.

Or an attempt to hold onto power, as in the case of the Republicans.
I have never had such a low view of Washginton, granted, I'm only 28. But not even when Clinton was in office did I feel this complete disgust...rage...what the fools in Washington have done is amplified by the fact we ARE in a war currently and makes it so much worse.
Worse in that it's evident they do not consider us to be at war.
If they did, they'd never have handed our enemies license to justify the sterotypes against this country and WHY we are in the M.E. as a war against Arabs. Laughable when you consider it was THIS Congress preaching about our image in the world! As well, hurt REAL allies in the M.E.
All in pursuit of being able to sit in a cozy office and get fat off our tax dollars for another 2-6 years. Well, not from my vote this year.
