Reply #190: Words and deeds

[Pobeka]

We can rationalize all we want, but congress knew very well that Bush would go to war if they gave him that power. No amount of wordsmithing gets them out of that. None. I didn't hire my representatives to "play to the polls" on such a critically moral issue, I hired them to do the right thing. They completely and utterly failed me on that point.

This vote committed thousands of innocent Iraqi's, and soon to be a thousand U.S. citizens (soldiers) to their deaths. When you are going to kill people, you should be more worried about their lives than your re-election.

If they don't get a reprimand from the voters, one way or another, they will continue that behaviour in years to come.

I remember them by the deed they did, not the words they use to rationalize the nasty deed after the fact.
