On Iraq, it's the Senate vs. mainstream America

Fifty-four percent of Americans would support a congressional candidate who wants the troops home within a year. Good luck finding one.

    Did I mention this week...

    ...how fed up I am with the current crop of Senate Democrats? When are they going to take their heads out of the sand and actually act on what their constituents want?

    And yet they wonder why, when they call during their beg-a-thon, I say I won't give them a dime til they grow some b*lls...Maybe we should ship 'em all to Iraq, make them attend soldiers' funerals, make them spend a day cleaning bedpans at the naval hospitals,

    And, in terms of healthcare coverage, give them $20,000 to live on and force them to pay the bills when all they have is catastrophic (in more ways than one) coverage that carries a $7,000 deductible.

    How sad. Those used to be things I'd want Republicans to do since they were/are so out of touch.
