This is the ugly side of the Republicans. It's typical of the PC way they have handled this whole 'war'. Unfortunately, most conservatives are unwilling to deal with the evidence that the Bush admin. is probably as corrupt as the Democrats in this area.

I've noticed something that nobody wants to talk about. We are frantically passing 'security' measures like the Patriot Act and others, encroaching on our freedoms with regularity. IN the meantime, Congress refuses to formally declare war, and the Admin. refuses to push for it.

Now, Im unfamiliar with the law here, but doesn't a war declaration provide for the temporary suspension of the Constitution and the subsequent reinstatement later on? It's exactly what we need to establish security, and protect our liberty at the same time, and the politicians are avoiding it. It's obviously a power grab.
