Are they spineless robots who have allowed what many consider the worst president ever to freely exercise his will, bending their wills endlessly to this all-time presidential loser?

Why don't political presidential candidates avoid talking about plunging the U.S. into the Iraq War on the basis of lies and assorted misrepresentations?  

Why don't they lash out at the brazen propaganda fear campaign based on that State of the Union declaration that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and the U.S. had proof that Saddam was developing nuclear weapons?  

That State of the Union fear propaganda that launched the U.S. into the Iraq War is a day that will live in infamy, a day when the congressional robots jumped to their feet to give the bearer of this false message a standing ovation.

During these wild and wooly days where an unelected chief executive serves as a neoconservative dictator intent on achieving a global New World Order and has excessively low poll ratings with seemingly no end in sight, his incredibly inept Democratic Party opposition continues to refuse to confront him.

A classic example occurred when yesterday's (July 24) New York Times reported that Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, concerned that George W. Bush is playing politics with key legislation he threatens to veto, announced their intention to seek a meeting with him to resolve the impasse.

The article brought immediately to mind a term Jerry Brown used when he was California's governor, "planetary realism."  To request such a meeting with Bush at this time to resolve a legislative impasse flies in the face of planetary realism.

The article brought to mind as well that so frequently repeated film footage from 1940 showing a thoroughly flummoxed Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain standing in the balcony of his residence at 10 Downing Street holding proudly aloft a piece of paper.
