The death and destruction and sorrow and suffering don't move them because there's no sacrifice too high for others to pay just so long as it's not them doing the suffering, them doing the sacrificing, them doing the dying, them being tortured, them being locked up on the word of a man who was proven to have lied over 900 times by himself with untold thousands of lies by his people, his disciples, for 7 years and running, them being beaten, raped and murdered. NO, they are the ones who say "Forget it, move on, hide it, cover it up, classify it, let it go. they are the ones who care nothing for the constitution, the people of the United States, the United States ITSELF, if doing the right thing means they might lose their next election, if doing the right thing might give the other side ammunition to call them "unpatriotic" without even really understanding what patriotism is.

Surely they don't honestly believe it is "patriotic" to force one of the few remaining American corporations who still produced their goods here and provided jobs for American workers to merge with a foreign corporation, put most of their own workers out of work, start producing off shore with cheaper foreign workers, force the American workers into destitution and the few left working to take lower pay and a lower standard of living to come down to the slave labor levels in China or India, to sell pieces of America, roads, bridges, property, ports, to foreign interests, even to those who 20 years ago were considered our enemies, and may be so again in the future?

Both sides threaten war with the rest of the world and expect them to just bow to their demands. It is ludicrous to think more will not react like North Korea. They don't even care that Pakistan and Israel are nuclear armed countries with the will to use their horrendous weapons. They encourage Israel's war mongering and order our troops to covertly sneak into Pakistan and slaughter innocent civilians and spy on our allies in their quest for the elusive boogie man while the real boogie man is in their mirrors. They have become the thing they fear most, only they are so full of self righteousness they can't see the truth.

Bush/co LIED to them ALL, over and over and over again and they all swore not to be fooled again and yet here we are, 6 months after he's gone still hearing the same old lies repeated over and over on a daily basis. Republicans are begging for another 9/11 on a much grander scale to "save the party" from the horrible "liberals", those of us who care about people and peace and prosperity over war. They pray for the destruction of millions of people's lives and call themselves the party of "morals". Give me a break.

An awful LOT of people think Congress is doing a LOUSY job, not just me. And we all have our own take on what part of it is the lousy part. In my opinion, it's the fact that I can't see any hope that things will improve in what's left of my lifetime because the MONEY wins every time. I wish they would prove me wrong but I won't hold my breath. The money blinds them ALL. Even the best of them, those who run for office with the best of intentions, lose sight of what's right when the dollars are flashed. The only thing different is the extent to which each one does and that is up to them, and up to the people in each district to make sure they vote for people who will work for them and not for personal gain at the expense of the people who voted.

It's really very simple when you just look. When 73 percent of the American People want them, who are supposed to work for us, to do something, and they, instead, go with the people who fill their campaign coffers, it's pretty obvious where their loyalties lie. And that is a long way away from the American People!

64 yr old mother of 2, grandma of 3. I believe that all commodities should be nationalized. All of the oil that is pumped in the U.S. comes from public lands. Therefore, all profits from that oil should belong to the citizens and NOT to a few (more...)
