Let's recap the elections of CHANGE 2006: ~ Bring the troops home... INCOMPLETE! ~ Oversight <i>WITH</i> accountability... INCOMPLETE! ~ Repeal the Patriot Act... INCOMPLETE! ~ Restore the Constitution... INCOMPLETE! With so many INCOMPLETES on their score card, how any of them expect to be reelected in CHANGE 2008 is beyond me. IF WE THE PEOPLE desire CHANGE, then maybe we should CHANGE WHO WE THE PEOPLE ELECT! The Elections of CHANGE 2008 are a Congressional Job Performance Review, and as of today, INCOMPLETED PROMISES outweigh accomplishments. . .

Let’s recap the elections of CHANGE 2006:

~ Bring the troops home… INCOMPLETE!
~ Oversight WITH accountability… INCOMPLETE!
~ Repeal the Patriot Act… INCOMPLETE!
~ Restore the Constitution… INCOMPLETE!

With so many INCOMPLETES on their score card, how any of them expect to be reelected in CHANGE 2008 is beyond me.

IF WE THE PEOPLE desire CHANGE, then maybe we should CHANGE WHO WE THE PEOPLE ELECT!

The Elections of CHANGE 2008 are a Congressional Job Performance Review, and as of today, INCOMPLETED PROMISES outweigh accomplishments.

Check how your congress-critter voted and vote accordingly in the primaries. If we can’t get them out in the primaries, there is always next time. I for one, am darn sure not voting republican. We need to get rid of some spineless rogue jellyfish that sting their own base.

Not. I would also think compensating the victims would further legitimize the notion that Saddam was a brutal dictator, who needed to go.
