Get over WHAT?! Demanding some accountability from our elected leaders?
Demand all you want, but don't get weird on us. Never allow the Democrats to gain power. Is that too difficult to understand? What good is demand accountability when it bites you in the butt?

"Demand all you want" and "demand accountability", just don't actually put your vote where your conscience is when it matters? Yeah, THAT makes sense.

Exactly why would the GOP (or anyone for that matter) ever bother to worry about being held accountable if they never have to earn worry about earning my vote? Should they shudder in fear over getting yet ANOTHER e-mail from me? Pfft.

Are you saying that the GOP will "do the Right thing(s)" out of altruism, since your strategy is to vote them in, no matter what? I'm not sure if you've noticed, but politicians of all stripes tend to stop being altruistic once they are in office (with the unholy exception of Liberals and their "altruisitic" habit of giving our money away).

Are you one of those Clinton Conservatives (the analog of the Reagan Democrats) who enabled him because of this accountability stuff? Did his accountability, or lack of it, hurt his reelection chances?

Use your vote in the primaries and elections to help elect people you agree with and to replace those you don't like. But, don't do anything that will empower the Liberals. It will only make you more angry.

Are you saying that the GOP will "do the Right thing(s)...

Will the Democrats?
