You know what to do.
Cowards indeed. They owe us more than an apology.
It’s very disappointing, and more than a little frightening. My participation in Democratic Party politics is in suspension until I see more courage from DC Democrats. (I may support some local and state-level candidates; this is not their fault.)
Some of the names I expected; a few of them shocked me. Why did so many of us work so hard to see Nick Lampson take Tom DeLay’s old seat, if he’s going to give Bush what he wants anyway?

No comment is needed. These people reek of political cowardice. What happened to standing up for the right thing regardless of the consequences

I am stunned to see Jim Webb’s name there.
All of these folks should be ashamed of themselves.

Steve, Job, Rick - you’re all absolutely right. I’m outraged. And, like you, I’m really disturbed at some of the names: Webb, Conrad, Klobuchar, McCaskill, Feinstein, Mikulski??? And, of course, the new revelations about more power for Fredo just goes to show how stupidly they let themselves be suckered once again - didn’t they learn anything from their failure to read the USA-fucking-PATRIOT Act?!
But we won’t forget. And while I hyperlinked each name to their respective “Contact” pages to make it easy for people to give them a piece of their minds, I also made the list with an eye toward remembering who sold us down the river when it comes time to throw money and support to primary challengers.
