<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>An Unlikely Conversation With<br>The Cowards in Congress</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Suppose you were an idiot... And suppose you were a member of Congress...But I repeat myself. -- Mark Twain</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>THE DIALOGUE</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>What shameful toads you are! Yes you, our elected lawmakers. Yes you, the folks we sent to Washington in our names. Yes you, the most spineless, cowardly and craven Congress people in history. Yes you, the most bullied, gutless and shameful herd of legislators ever elected. And you know exactly who you are.<br><br>Where in hell is your integrity? Where in hell is your self-respect? You’ve been led by your submissive noses to do the bidding of liars and warmongers. You’ve been suckered into applauding some of the most egregious crimes ever committed by a US government. You’ve become such a pitiful collection of sniveling sycophants. And you know damn well who you are.<br><br>What’s that? You want to know what you’ve done? Of what odious crimes are you guilty to evoke such striking condemnation? Is that what you’re asking? Is that what you really want to know? You’re joking, right? Do you want the American people to believe have no idea what this is all about? What nonsense that is.<br><br>But, for the sake of discourse, let’s accept your ignorance for the moment. For starters, let’s take a look at two provisions in that forgotten document, the Constitution of the United States. Perhaps their significance will ring a bell somewhere in your pathetic and paralyzed minds.<br><br>We can begin with Article 1, Section 8. Here, the Constitution clearly states that you, and only you, have the right to declare war. Did you get that? Only Congress can take on the awesome responsibility of causing death and mayhem when there is a need to go to war. Only the Congress of the United States has the Constitutional power do that. Keep that in mind as we go on.<br><br>Next, let’s do a replay of an Article you knew only too well a few years ago: Article II, Section 4. It says that the President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. Remember that one?<br><br>Do you remember how you fell over one another to speak at the podia of your respective Houses to condemn Bill Clinton’s private affair with Monica Lewinsky? You came out from under every piece of woodwork in the Capitol with such pompous indignation. You came from both political parties to wail to your constituents about the sexual indiscretions of a sitting President. And then you impeached him.<br><br>Yes, you were divided, but you crossed party lines to demand a trial for perjury and obstruction of justice. Keep that in mind, too.<br><br>You still don’t understand, do you? Of course, you don’t. You still want to know what it is you’ve allegedly done. You have no clue at all. You cannot see that your guilt has nothing at all to do with anything you have done. Rather, your collective culpability lies in your INACTION, your SILENCE, your ACQUIESCENCE and your docile SURRENDER to the administration of PNAC as fronted by George W. Bush. Your cowardice is reflected in your complicity in his crimes against this nation and the world, and your refusal to stand up and denounce the secrecy, the duplicity, and the blatant lies that have brought the United States to this terrible moment in its history.<br><br>You forfeited whatever integrity you might have had as you timidly allowed a curtain of fear and intimidation to fall over Washington and the nation. You knew that, but you probably don’t want to deal with it. Denial is salvation for some, and you probably needed to feel self-righteous about your role in Congress and your loyalty to your voters. Some joke. In fact, you are little more than cheap imitations of true public servants. And you know without any doubt at all who you are.<br><br>You still don’t have a clue as to what this is all about, do you? That, too, is nonsense. You do know, you really do, but feigning ignorance is clever and effective. So let’s lay it out for you in simple terms that even you can understand Maybe, when you take a close look, at the facts, you will look in the mirror with a little more skepticism. Maybe, just maybe, you will see yourselves as the lemmings you are. And maybe, just maybe, a few among you will reach back to see if your backbones have any chance of regeneration.<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>A SHORT LIST OF OFFENSES:</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>For the not-so-short list of offenses and the complete article:<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.tvnewslies.org/html/cowards_in_congress.html">www.tvnewslies.org/html/c...gress.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

I saw this and almost posted it..Glad ya did..We tend to blame most of the mess on the bush cabals and we should..HOWEVER the US CONGRESS and the USSC are complicit and many are participitants in the TREASON of the executive branch...Congress is playing both sides..if bush take's all and we do get the police state that Alex Jones has warned about for yrs..well Congress has the money to buy thier own freedoms..and if the busheviks are exposed without the help of Congress of course..then Congress will claim to be our pals and will in fact take credit for the demise of bush.<br><br>We must remember these dark days and the Congress that aided and abetted the TREASON.<br><br>BTW Most of Congress has NEVER been in the US Military,..and 1 of 535 has a son who served in Iraq and 4 others had a reservist or guardsmen in their families..<br>BET this if the children of the US Congress had to serve in the US Military ..WARS as we know them would be ended..<br> <p></p><i></i>

Out-Bloody-Standing.<br><br>Hear-Hear.<br>This is the kinda letter I wish I had the patience to write -- but Im damn glad SOMEBODY did. It sure needed sayin -- cuz the oafs and lumps who are presently sitting in Congress now (well, they're on vacation, but y'know what I mean) collecting their salary courtesy of the sweat and toil and sacrifice of present and future generations, on (for the most part, and for most OF 'em) false-pretenses (certainly NOT doing their sworn duty to preserve and protect the Constitution, and to faithfully represent the needs and best interests of their constituency -- who are everyday PEOPLE and NOT goddamned gold-plated transnational Corporations).<br><br>-- Sure hope the crappy fraud-prone electronic voting system gets trashcanned like it oughtta, and the lobbyists and crooked techocrats who didn't do the most elemental research required to address security concerns as computer experts repeatedly warned about, get nice, long prison-sentences in some of the most dangerous, mismanaged maximum-security prisons the US has ...<br><br>So we might have a crack at an HONEST election in 2006 ...<br><br>And throw these goddamn bums out so they can finally be indicted for their misfeasance, corruption, conflicts of interest, obstruction of justice, bribery, and aiding and abetting treason ...<br><br>I rejoice whenever I see signs this nation is beginning to wake up and see the light, of how it's been so dastardly betrayed and swindled and sold-out ...<br><br>Starman <p></p><i></i>
