How would you explain the vote to the families of the dead on both sides?
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 01:04 PM by RaulVB
After the Republicans stole 2 elections and the Democrats agreed to "give them away", and they are in a path of destruction or about to become irrelevant, they had this historic opportunity to show honor and respect for permanent values shared by a large majority of the human race.

As Senator Dayton from Minnesota, told us yesterday:

- The war on Iraq was based on lies told by Rice or repeated by Rice.

- The human rights of thousands of innocents have been violated thanks to Rice's participation

- This war has had a huge cost on both lives and the national treasure of the USA

- 1.390 American troops dead, about 50.000 Iraqis, 11.000 mutilated American troops

- Today 35 MARINES HAVE DIED IN IRAQ. The largest day of casualties in a war zone since VIETNAM.

The Senators who voted against the crimes of Rice are (I'm missing one name):

Akaka
Bayh
Byrd
Boxer
Dayton
Durbin
Jeffords
Reed (RI)
Harkin
Kennedy
Kerry
Lautenberg
Levin

To the rest of the so called "Democrats", a question asked before in this country:

"HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY, SIR"?

Do they understand what's wrong and what's right?

How do you tell the families of the dead that what you did was "decent" or done "for the country"?...

I'll send a letter to the Senators that voted against Rice. They deserve my respect, indeed.

3. We each need to support those who voted against Rice; we also...
....need to send harsh rebukes to every Senator who supported her nomination.

Note: several of those Senators are female so you may want to modify the "sir" in the appropriate question -- "Have you no sense of decency"?

Thank you Raul for posting this.

Peace.
