Reply #5: I too am AMAZED at the ignorance!

How is it possible these elected officials DON'T KNOW? When I read Byrd's book recently, he mentioned that the American people should not assume that congress and the Senate know more then the population does. He says that they do know more about some things, but not much. I saw Ken Salazar on Charlie Rose, and he just parroted the bland party speak when he had a chance to blast Bush's handling of the war. All the Dems are so mild, and "Bi-Partisan"...WHERE has it gotten them. They really are like an abused spouse...
