Reply #8: More Democrats SHOULD have stood.....

[diatribe]

What do they have to lose? NOTHING.

They won't even stand up for themselves and they continue to wonder why the (moderate) Independents won't join them.

There was no way that Kerry or Edwards was going to vote for it - just to save face. In fact, Kerry was in Baghdad - but like you've said, it wasn't about Kerry and Edwards. If Kerry does have lawyers on the job, then he SHOULD have stood up right then and there.

But does he? NOPE. The only upside on this is that Kerry did investigate BCCI and basically shut it down completely AGAINST the political machine. Let's hope he makes this a top priority in the coming years.

Anyway, if a Moderate Independent party was to rise up our this mess, they would have the largest voter base of them all.
