Help Me Out Here... Can Y'all Name Members Of Congress Who Are NOT Complete Sellouts?
This so-called bail out has me tied up in knots, it's so outrageous. It could be a non-starter if Dems decided not to 'play ball'.

They've caved to Bush and their corporate masters on just about every pertinent piece of legislation put before them; effectively screwing us at every turn.

With the exception of Dennis Kucinich, who HASN'T bitterly disappointed?

Anybody??:mad:

14. That hen has very, very, few teeth.
But, the occasional rarities do show up. Kucinich and McDermott, come to mind.

17. I miss Paul Wellstone
He certainly is on the good guy list even if he's gone now. But Dennis Kucinich is number one on my list. There are few other, very few, but there are some.
