Are the Democrats wussies? [View All]

Nope. I just figured it out. Remember how we all criticized the democrats in the Senate and the Congress for not standing up to Bush? And how they seem to be doing so now.
Now after 9/11, the nation was traumitized, and everybody was pulling behind the president. Well, this is normal "cycle of grief"
type stuff. Let's be honest, if the democrats would have come out strong against the prez in the immediate aftermath, they would have been hung. Keep in mind, politics is the art of the possible. It would have been nice had they stood up to Bush, but perhaps this was tactically impossible. But now, after the mourning is over, it's natural for people to start asking, "How did all this happen?"
Which is why, I believe, you have Kennedy and all the rest going on the attack.

Maybe these guys were'nt wusses after all, maybe they were just a bit smarter than we gave them credit for.
