Were you hoping that anyone would actually support Sen. Feingold’s efforts to censure the prez? Did you actually think D.C. Dems would stand up and say “Ok, well this isn’t so bad, so I can go along with this. Afterall, the president did break the law.”
Well, as of right now, you will be deeply disappointed. Once again the Dems have proved that they don’t have a whole set of balls among the lot of them.
Even as he spoke, Democratic leaders held off the immediate vote that Majority Leader Bill Frist requested. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said he didn’t know if there ever would be one. Durbin said that Feingold had sought to use the censure resolution “as a catalyst” for thorough hearings and investigations.
The referral averted a debate and a vote that Democrats privately worried would alienate voters who could decide close elections.
Throughout the day, Feingold’s fellow Democrats said they understood his frustration but they held back overt support for the resolution.
Several said they wanted first to see the Senate Intelligence Committee finish an investigation of the warrantless wiretapping program that Bush authorized as part of his war on terrorism.
Asked at a news conference whether he would vote for the censure resolution, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada declined to endorse it and said he hadn’t read it.
Sen.Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., said he had not read it either and wasn’t inclined simply to scold the president.
“I’d prefer to see us solve the problem,” Lieberman told reporters.
They’re worried about voters and want the Intelligence Committee to investigate, and it’s just not going to work….Bullshit. Ok, I’m going to say it like I see ‘em, they certainly are a bunch of pansy-ass cowardly fucktards!
cross the Capitol, reaction was similar. Feingold’s censure resolution drew empathy but no outright support from Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi “understands Sen. Feingold’s frustration that the facts about the NSA domestic surveillance program have not been disclosed appropriately to Congress,” her office said in a statement. “Both the House and the Senate must fully investigate the program and assign responsibility for any laws that may have been broken.“
Why not wait until after the November election, eh, Nanc? No need getting your panties in a bunch over a little thing like the
President of the United States committing criminal acts!
That only matters when it’s a Democratic President, because we all know that lying about getting a blow job is so much worse than anything the Bushbots have done. Way to stand up to the man there.
“You’re either with us or against us! And if you believe the president should be punished for breaking the law then you are against us you traitorous bastards! Now get back in fucking line!”
Yeah, piss off, DINOS, if you’re going to act like Republicans I might as well vote for them. At least they’re honest about sticking the shaft up our collective asses and don’t try to pretend they’re on our side.
The real traitors are the cowards who let the president piss all over our Constitution.
***Pardon the very unladylike language in the above post. I’m a little annoyed right now.***
