IF THE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GUTS TO STAND UP TO W AND END THE WAR IN IRAQ OR IMPEACH THE WAR CRIMINALS WHO OCCUPY THE WHITE HOUSE, THAT MEANS THEY ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM, AND NONE OF THEM DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT. BUSH IS SETTING UP A HUGE MESS FOR THE NEXT OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. WHY NOT LET IT BE ONE OF THE GUYS IN BLACK HATS. I'M VOTING REPUBLICAN NEXT TIME, NO MATTER WHO IT IS!

to be screaming don't you? Then, why do it?

As a long-term independent member of 12 minutes, am glad that you have the final answer to the problem: voting Republican next time.

Glad we got your problem solved.
