But I share your frustration.

Sorry, that last post was more a general frustration type of thing.
So how do we get something that's veto proof when the people refuse to hold Bush to task in any real way? I mean all we have are poles and pundits, seemingly. Besides impeachmnet, which I'd totally support so long as it was Bush and Cheney at the same time... but that won't happen because while it'd shoot through the House (assuming they can gather their fortitude and come together), but would fail in the Senate. 2/3 majority won't happen because the GOP is corrupt. Here's the thing, though: 92-3. Can't at least they show solidarity?I mean really, is it that they really want to put armor on the troops? Because we've spent $500b and they're still driving useless vehicles and aren't fully armored. As has been said, the troops are safest at home.
