And did anyone expect the rats to stand and fight for anything (besides gaining power)? Heck, they are already cuttin and running from the nonbinding Iraq resolution.

NEW YORK — A majority of Americans thinks the U.S. House of Representatives was wasting its time passing a nonbinding resolution on Iraq. Nearly half say if they were in Congress, they would vote to continue funding the war, while the other half says they would vote against funding it as a way to force a withdrawal from Iraq. These are just some of the findings from a new FOX News Poll.
Opinion Dynamics Corp . conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News from February 27 to February 28. The poll has a 3-point error margin.
Bush and Congress Job Performance

And you thought they had a mandate?
The encouraging thing about this is it means most Americans are on the smoke-and-mirrors gig of "non-binding resolutions" and other empty pontifications of political spinelessness.
I guess guvmint education ain't *so* bad if many adults understand the meaning and import of the word "non-binding."
I could never be in Congress, I am not rich and I consider myself an Honest man.
Congress needs to sweep both sides of the isle and just leave the isle.
If I had my way we would toss out every stinking one of these smoldering piles and start from scratch, with the major rule being no lawyers and no millionaires,could run for office.
They are doing what they do best, wasteing time and the tax payers money.
And the great expense of keeping them.
Their salaries are a pittance compared to the upkeep.
Secretary's, staff , offices, trips around the world,their Capitol Hill Restaurant, their Barber shop. Their Library of Congress free pass to tie up researchers. It goes on and on. These people cost a lot of money to keep in the way they have grown acustomed to being kept.
They are bought and paid for long before they are sworn in.
That's true and all they have to do is lie to the people from there.
