Dean: If we don't end this war, Democrats could lose power.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

After voting for, in series, Rep. Mike Pappas, Dick Zimmer, Mike Ferguson, and Charlie Dent for Congress, I finally voted for a Democrat to the U.S. House in 2006 specifically because of the war issue.

Democrats did have a mandate to take action on the war.  But they're too afraid to do anything (not too surprised) but vote on symbolic bills that are designed to do little more than embarass the Bush Administration.

News flash to Pelosi and Reid: Bush is already unpopular enough.  Stop with all these ridiculous half-hearted attempts, whip your conservatives, and give the nation what it wants, damnit.  Is it any wonder why Congress's approval ratings are slumping to new lows?  Unless you're a poster on Daily Kos, it's hard to get excited over a "vote of no confidence" in Alberto Gonzales.  If you want him gone -- and you do -- impeach him.  You've got at least enough reason to start proceedings.  But you won't, because you have the testicular fortitude of a 6-year-old girl.

Sure, all this stuff will rile up Republicans.  But they're not going to vote for you anyway.

Blah.  Just my two cents.
