21. I can believe Hillary would vote for it
Edited on Wed May-11-05 03:39 AM by Cookie wookie
being the opportunist she is. But all the Democrats? And Barbara Boxer? That's the unkindest cut of all. Guess they put the pressure on her.

There were 57 brave Democrats in the House who voted against it, and it appears they are the only members of Congress who refuse to collaborate with the fascists thugs, thieves, and pirates who have overthrown our government.

There is no middle ground here nor should their be. There is no such thing as compromise with the devil. There is a line beyond which no one can cross without corrupting their own morals. Those who vote for any of the legislation authored by the fascists are crossing that line every time. There is no excuse, no justification.

And complaining afterward when you've voted for it is the worst kind of weasel behavior. Guess they thought that tactic would somehow allow them to look good to their constituents while the vote would keep the corrupt fascist corporate press from criticizing them.

Wexler said it all:
“While I am heartened that 57 of my colleagues joined me in opposing REAL ID, I am baffled that so many Democrats caved in to the parliamentary tricks of the Republican leadership. Though I have come to expect as much from Republicans, by supporting the conference report in spite of the REAL ID poison pill, Democrats have abandoned our core values and failed to stand up for the rights to privacy, fair treatment under the law and freedom from persecution upon which our country was founded. It is tragic irony on the very anniversary of Yom HaShoa, the day we remember the horrors of the Holocaust, we are shutting the door to victims of persecution. . . . We were not elected to rubber stamp anything just because we support part of it,” Wexler said.
