26. Getting 'pissed' is no longer enough...
We saw Democrats 'getting pissed' at Gonzales and Rice...but voted for them anyway. We've seen this same scenario played out again and again...from the blatantly stolen 2000 election to the illegal, aggressive war on Iraq. It's not enough to say you're pissed about something and then not follow through with action.

Do you really think the Dem leadership cares if you 'withhold money' until they flap their lips about electronic voting? They don't get most of their money from people like YOU anymore...they get piles of cash from corporations that don't want them to do anything about electronic voting. You've been taken out of the equation.

Nothing will get better until we begin to make Republicans and Democrats equally accountable to the people they're suppose to serve.
