say something that makes sense! It really is a 'put up or shut up' exercise, but way too many politicians prefer to waffle and fence-sit, and that's totally unhelpful. They're scared shitless of having to plant their flag on a position, and they sure as hell know that if they vote FOR war, it's blood on their hands, and voting against means they're 'wussies.'

It's way easier to just bullshit and go with the wind, I guess! And the voters of America let them get away with it.
