Wake up already. These dimbulb republican-liters like Pelosi, Hillary and the rest of the DINOs are out for their own hides. They like things exactly as is. And as long as the GOPers throw a few crumbs from the table every once in awhile, the dimbulbs are happy because as measly and meager as those crumbs are, they’re *still* in better shape with regard to finances, health insurance and job security than 2/3rds of the country. Why should Pelosi rock the boat and possibly endanger her 24k gold plated salary/health insurance and perks?<br /> ::::FUCK:::: the dimbulbs. They are republican lite and don’t represent anyone but their own bank accounts.

For instance should I choose to send the same correspondence to more than one representative I presently have to go to an individuals page and write an individual communication. Fine for in state business but not too efficient for individuals wishing to communicate with more than one recipient. I did write to Nancy Pelosi about her censure comments, however she apparently has two e-mails. One for constituents and another for out of staters. Thus my mail was returned with instructions to resubmit to the alternative address. There are too many unnecessary layers obstructing efficient communication to our representatives. The process is cumbersome and time consuming. Do these people really care to hear from the people? If I am wrong and there is an alternate group maiing process I’d welcome the info.</p> When matters of national interest are at stake there ought to be a format that lists the e-mails of all respresentatives together to enable multiple send selections.

Feingold’s call for censure is hardly a blood sausage event…but it could turn into one for Bush.

Is it so much better to be a minority congressperson than to risk losing your job? Is it just that lack of spine and common sense are pre-requisites for being elected? Does Bush have incriminating evidence on them gathered through illegal wiretaps? Have they just, as Norquist said, been spayed and neutered to be good little compliant opposition party members?</p> I’d be really interested in understanding what the hell is wrong with Dems like Pelosi.
