I, and I think most every progressive out here, would like to know what our representatives are going to do about Iraq. I would also like to know what are you going to do about the over reaching unitary executive.
Here is your chance. Tell us what is the plan. There is a plan right? Maybe you plan to defund the war? Maybe you plan to resubmit the same legislation over and over so people see that at least you are trying to restrain the executive? Maybe you wish to draw the Republicans into constant filibustering in the Senate to show the world how foolish they are? Perhaps you plan to shut down Congress in some way until honest debate on these issues return? Perhaps you even intend to bring impeachment charges against the president, vice president, and on down the line? Maybe you plan to pursue inherent contempt against those you have subpeonaed but never shown up to Congress? Maybe it's something completely different, but will show us that you are paying attention and know the situation is bad? You do know the situation is bad right? Because if you don't know tell me so I can tell every one else that you haven't been paying attention. I have had it, HAD IT! Tell me, tell me here and now. I know you people come to the Kos to take the pulse of the progressives. I know you are reading this or some of the better posts on the Kos. So tell me. What are YOU planning to do. If you can't tell me this, then tell me what makes you better than this duplicitous president. In my eyes, if you have no plan to stop him or the war, then you may as well give up your seats and go home. What good are you?
Let me tell you what I am planning to do. I will not give one red cent of my hard earned money to any, ANY, democratic candidate that does not plan, or explain, how he or she will address these issues. I will not vote for any, ANY, Democrat who continues to offer this president a blank check. I have already informed my senator, whom I have supported for the last 15 years through money and votes, that she will receive nothing more from me. I refuse to hand over my power to people who refuse to carry out my wishes. I am not wishing for ponies. I want responsibility wrapped around a spine! If you have to turn Congress into a cricus to show that you actually give a damn then do it; you all look like clowns right now anyway!
