Reply #53: I doesn't have to be that way.

It is the cowardice of Democratic voters, who continue to put corrupt people into office because they are terrified of "losing," that has lost the big picture and the long-term health of the nation.

If Democrats don't like it, they can quit following the corrupt establishment blindly with their votes, and start electing people who won't play along.

For example, I find it to be the height of hypocrisy to agree with Turley's statements, and then cast a vote for several of the candidates on the '08 primary ticket.

Why not start right there, and nominate someone who won't play that game? Someone who WILL hold the Bush administration accountable, now and after they've left office?
