Dems realize that Republicans are going to call them "weak on terror" anyway, right?

1. Do Dems really care? They get August off! nt

3. Just because the Congress is in recess does not mean they are on vacation!

5. The Republican party that failed to defend us against the 9-11 attackers accusing Democrats as weak

on national defense and national security?

The Republicans demonstrated their weakness on national defense and national security on Sept 11, 2001.

7. No? Could have fooled me. They're all hot and bothered to get

'home' to listen to their constituents? I just don't think so.
They should still be there hashing out that abominable FISA bill they passed. Give them six months?
They are in a 'working' recess? They should try that from DC and fix what's wrong.

8. Last time I was at a US Senator's lake cabin, the Senator was not goofing off.

I'm beginning to think that any excuse to bash a Dem will do. I do not question everyone's intentions, and realize you have labored in this field long and hard. But, when deciding where to focus I suggest asking, "Are we moving forward or backward?"

DU is beginning to seem fascist and intolerant. Congresspeople represent their constituents, not the looney, left libtards that constantly bash them!

9. Nice way to categorize people, especially on DU - not!

And who exactly were they representing with their bullshit FISA vote? Sorry, your argument is full of holes.

Read this and understand; we can be annoyed without people like you chastizing us.

2. Which is exactly why they should DO THE RIGHT THING because

no matter what they do they will be called "weak on terror" -- and votes of people who would be influenced by this they weren't going to get anyway.

It's 117 degrees in Iraq and there is no water in Baghdad.

655,000 Iraqis - the real death toll as of a year ago...

For God's Sake - END THIS NIGHTMARE. End the occupation of Iraq, giving weapons to the Mideast, the rape of our civil liberties, our economy and our infrastructure.

Dems -> DO THE RIGHT THING

[dkofos]

4. No. Too stupid!!

[opihimoimoi]

6. REPUBLICANS ARE WEAK ON SOLUTIONS.....we should be hyping this

as there is ample evidence...of ineptness/stupidity

[L. Coyote]

10. Right on!
