Why is this dated May 19, 2005? Are the ladies seers?
I would wish that the National Federation of Republican Women would change its name to: "The National Federation of American Women". Reason? The "League of Women Voters" is, without a doubt, a Democrat organization, yet it hides this fact in its ambiguously benevolent sounding name.
Republicans would do well to combat the Democrats tendency to obfuscate their satellite organizations agenda by imitating the same tactics of obfuscation.
Our troops have been endangered by this despicable act of treason.
You must be kidding! What a feckless bunch of drivel. I didn't see this earlier today. Must be due to the fact that I was e-mailing 55 Republican Senators. Since the pseudo apology had taken place, I wasn't asking for that. Nor did I ask for an apology Monday when I telephoned 98 Senators, could not stomach the thought of calling the two from Mass. Al-Jazeera has been running with this for a week and the best organized assault was to call for an apology.
Here is a sample of what I was asking for:
I am contacting ALL Republican Senators by phone and e-mail to request action on the Senator from Illinois.
1. APOLOGY: Un-apology is irrelevant, but done. Not acceptable.
2. CENSURE: We the people want to see where our representatives stand.
3. RESIGNATION: If Durbin resigns, fine. If not...
4. EXPULSION: Durbin is not fit to serve as a representative of the United States Senate.
This man is unfit to represent the United States Military, me, my family, you or our great country. This is an outrage that MUST be dealt with. Feckless apologies will not suffice.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter.
There was another thread on Monday where we were making calls and reporting back with results and comments, while encouraging others to take action aside from posting on the thread.
I receive boat loads of "Action Alerts", "Conservative Alerts" and other notices from a number of conservative organizations. Not one notice was received to take action on this outrageous display on the Senate floor. Now I know why the "majority" is so ineffective.
An apology from this excuse for a Senator, is worthless. If this is all that is being done, why bother talking/typing about it.
