Democratic "leadership" courage once again in short supply.

Apparently lying to American citizens about reasons for war is no more than a pesky little glitch for most Democratic leaders. Even Hillary, our party`s new G.I. Jane, was willing to wink and nod her way to a yes vote for Condi today. Like the framers of the Constitution left a message for her in a time capsule....We were kidding about the checks and balances thing. Maybe next week she`ll have a unity luncheon with Limbaugh.

It`s downright pathetic. Men and women are being sent to Iraq in droves so Bush can improve his bio and for once erase that underachiever thing. Even God wants him to kill, so who could argue with that? Bush is dripping in "moral authority" now thanks to black-boot Republicans and Democratic leaders eager to prove how tough they are on terrorism and how serious they are about national security.

Nearly half the National Guard force in my state is in Iraq, in training for duty in Iraq or on stand-by with their duffle bags packed. Nearly half. Today 30-something Marines were killed over there. How the hell much longer are our Democratic leaders going to nod in approval as Americans...and others...get blown to bits?

I don`t know about you, but I hardly recognize my country or my party anymore.
