You're really spinning the facts here...

I am committedly anti-Bush, but more than anything else I am pro-truth and common sense. I read the response and did not gleen from it the insults and put downs you allude to. While I believe Bush's administration/policies are a disgrace to American, have hurt us enormously in the global community, and the man himself has no ability to see beyond his own dysfunctional reality... I don't see the glaring insults this article refers to.

Democrats should base their message on the truth that this war is immoral, uncalled for, and stemmed from a base of lies. Not some imagined insult.

But the dems saw all the information that the president saw and voted for the U.S. to go into Iraq. Now they are saying that the president lied and that they were never for the war (lies).

I agree that the democrats have to be held accountable for allowing the war to take place. Everyone who voted for Bush's blank check is responsible for another nail in the coffin of our great republic. That being said....the American people need to be told about the arrogance of the Executive Branch, and its subversion of the constitution. Just look at how offended they get, when a member of the Senate, one half of the supreme law making bodies in the land, asks for a little accountability. This is how republics are lost, and empires are founded!

"one half of the supreme law making bodies in the land"

I think that would be one third.

Also, I don't see how you could classify her request as "asking for a little accountability". More like, "asking for a little publicity before an election".

No, I mean one half.......The only LAW MAKING body in the land is the legislature, and the senate, is.....wait for it.....1/2 of the legislature. It is the position of the the Executive to enforce the laws, and the position of the judicial to interpret them, but only one can truly make law. But that attack on my comment is beside the point. I ask you a real question here....is there any move the democrats could make to reign in this imperial presidency that you wouldn't think was a play for publicity?
