I saw a blurb in the Raleigh News & Observer today:
To quote: "
War vote may make or break careers"
Gee, I sure would hate for some poor lawmaker to have to go make a living doing something else, just because he or she stood on principal in the midst of a war, and a virtual flood of misinformation. Sure, it would be a shame for us to lose the war in Iraq, but think of how much worse it would be for representatives to lose their elected offices! What would they do to feed their families?
And really, how can I be upset if our representatives vote for what is popular, instead of what is right? Isn't that what democracy is all about?
