"I WILL NOT support these efforts UNTIL I see action on the real priorities"
What makes you know nothing is being done ? Are you privy to inside information ? What solutions have you presented or what productive steps have you taken to promote your priorities or do you think complaining will get the job done ?
"We've got too many in the political process who just say things, just kind of float something out there and hope it sounds good, hope somebody might bite on it, hope it convinces people, but have no intentions or capabilities of getting it done." - President George W Bush, 2 Nov 2002
Let's take just one example: Tom FREAKIN' Ridge. Recently nominated to head HSA. Bush COULD have just cut this known liar loose. Let his interim status lapse. But nooooooooo, we get Mr. "it wasn't military-grade anthrax" to lie to us about smallpox or whatever else.
Or, how about another: There ARE people willing to patrol the Mexican border and prevent illegal crossings. The INS ACTIVELY denounces these people. What have YOU done to help? Or are you one of the naysayers?
