http://www.democrats.org/page/community/blog_rss/wfpeifer/html Thoughts on Democratic politics in New Mexico . . . it was a message to the Bush Administration: End the war NOW! Even the newly elected Democratic majority in both houses of Congress appear to be as deaf to the people's voices as the Bush Administration.<br /> <br /> What will it take for members of Congress to listen to the people? Do we all have to re-register as "Green" for the Democrats to get the message? Stop compromising! The first funding bill, which Bush vetoed, was ALREADY a compromise, falling somewhere between what Bush wanted and what the people wanted. Now that it's been vetoed, the Dems were quick to compromise to a point somewhere between Bush's hard line and the first compromise. Every compromise brings Congress closer to becoming exactly what it was under the Republicans . . . a rubberstamp to Bush's whims.<br /> <br /> What should have happened is for Congress to simply resubmit the original spending bill . . . the first compromise . . . back to Bush, over and over again until he had no choice but to sign it.<br /> <br /> Democrats in Congress need to grow a spine!!!! http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/wfpeifer/C2qC http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/wfpeifer/C2qC/commentary#comments Thu, 24 May 2007 12:41:59 EDT http://www.democrats.org/page/community/post/wfpeifer/C2qC Bill Peifer http://www.democrats.org/page/community/profile_picture/f90f5001a1e09f2a03_agzomv5vx.jpg Bill Peifer 4 http://www.democrats.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2qC/
