"Rather than standing up to the ideological extremism of the Bushites and giving the public a rallying point for anti-war action, the Beltway Democrats are just sitting there, quiet and motionless. They say they fear that opposition to Bush might make them appear to be “weak on war.” Great galloping gutlessness! What about weak on peace? What about weak on principle, on integrity, on leadership, on political backbone? The majority of Americans are now against Bush’s war and believes that it has made America less secure. Whatever happened to the notion that at least one party in Congress should represent the will of the people, especially when the other party is so dead wrong?" - - - Jim Hightower
