Never Negotiate with Republicans or Other Terrorists

You know that all is not right in the world when you wake up, as I did this morning, to hear George Bush congratulating the Democratic majority in the Senate for doing the right thing.

If Democrats continue to cave the way they did yesterday on the AMT, they will accomplish that which they are hoping to avoid - lose our votes. Democatic leaders need to muster some courage and be willing to fight hard for what they believe in. If they fail to do so, they risk becoming indistinguishable from the loathsome Bush administration.

One good way they can fight is to put impeachment back on the table. This week’s relevations about Iran intelligence and the CIA destruction of interrogation videotapes provider further evidence, as if any were needed, of the malignity and incompetence of the Bush presidency. If you want to be assured of our votes, do the right thing and bring down this shamelessly corrupt adminstration.
