8. There's cherry pickin' and they there is letting Congress Critters know
we are watching and plan to hold them accountable. They need to be reminded who they answer to in no uncertain terms or this isn't a representative democracy.

The neocons use strong arm tactics and we can't just stand by, sending polite requests then ignoring bad votes.

I agree Obama needs to be allowed some time, but the old hands in DC have a record and if the record shows a tendency to bend over for an agenda which endangers the well being of most Americans, I say nail their asses to the shed until they get a clue that we mean to change the direction of policy.

If they don't get a clue, they get fired. That simple.

Rice was NSA when we suffered a terrible attack which SHOULD NOT have come as a surprise to anyone in her position. Senators voting to give her a PROMOTION for that gross dereliction of duty are guilty of dereliction themselves.

Ditto the man who worked to make excuses for the use of illegal means of dealing with detainees and prisoners. He should be considered for a visit to the Hague, not AG of the US.
