Cowardice

As with the initial vote on the recently renewed Patriot Act Russ Feingold is the only Democrat in this entire country who has some semblance of a spine. Per today's Newsday, no Democrat will get behind the needed censure of this president.

Cowards. From Reid to Pelosi, Lieberman was a given on this issue. We are not talking about articles of impeachment here nor are we in the midst of the Hague. Here is the resolution:

"Resolved that the United States Senate does hereby censure George W. Bush, President of the United States, and does condemn his unlawful authorization of wiretaps of Americans within the United States without obtaining the court orders required."

This is just a snippet. This president should consider himself lucky the opposition is so willing to live and let die. This has been happening for the entire Bush presidency. It happened during the Kerry candidency, it most likely will happen in 2006 and 2008.

On top of that, we haven't done this since 1834! We certainly can't do it now! At no more a point in time in this nation's history with the majority of the American people in disapproval of this president, a censure resolution is needed. Are the Democrats not reading these polls? Are they enlisting the services of Dick Morris again? The man who sabotaged the Clinton presidency? Listen to the electorate: WE DON'T APPROVE OF GEORGE W BUSH AS PRESIDENT.

UPDATE: 36 percent approval rating for this president and the Democratic Party is still in shambles.

UPDATE 2: Over at Angry Bear, there has been an endorsement of the Feingold way.
