Our Democrats in Congress are being blackmailed and threatened, just read between the lines
Edited on Sat Jul-21-07 08:30 PM by ck4829
I support impeachment, but I can settle with the ghost of impeachment.

But, the Democrats don't even threaten to impeach, not even a bluff, it's as Pelosi says, "off the table".

One might wonder why Bush has been given a blank check.

Blackmail and threats might be a deterrent that the Bush Administration has found useful.

It's happened before:

Remember the anthrax?

Remember how Gonzales and the Department of 'justice' threatened the fired US Attorneys with unflattering news if they testified in front of Congress?

What's to say they aren't being blackmailed from truly opposing the Bush Administration?

1. I Think It's Worse
I think the DLC is blackmailing the Democratic House and Senate members. The GOP doesn't have to lift a finger!

2. Given the antics of the past
by previous administrations in most, if not all, of the South American countries I wouldn't have though keeping tabs on Congress and The Senate would pose much of a problem for this administration.

3. Blackmail?
Pretty far out there to think that, but for sure there IS something going on that is keeping them (House) from using what is not only reasonable but what the Constitution requires to stop or control a rogue Admin.

4. That's what the anthrax scare was for. To intimidate and threaten anyone who spoke out.
