CONGRESSIONAL MISFITS?

The Congress of the United States has, in my opinion, revealed its self for what it truly is, a group of misfits. By their passing of the bill that would sit a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, they have shown that they have no interest in preserving the freedom of this country. They have failed to act as good custodians of our Constitution and they have let the President, our soldiers and the American people down.

I cannot believe that the Congress has had the audacity to send the Iraq funding bill to the President with billions of dollars in pork and a time table for withdrawal from Iraq. All of that pork and no compassion or concern for the people of Iraq. They are truly demonstrative of the selfishness that seems to be developing in this country. Do they not understand or see that we have no choice but to fight the battle in Iraq? Withdrawal is not an option. Where is their head? I urge the President to veto this bill and I will applaud him his vision. In my opinion,those who were elected to preserve and protect our Constitution have failed.

President Bush has acted with concern and devotion to country while too many of the duly elected custodians apparently lack the ability to understand their responsibility in helping secure our country. They have, in my opinion, lost their way. Unfortunately, the American people seem to share in their lack of character and for that, we may all pay the price. Perhaps the sitting Congress is truly representative of the lack of foresight, vision and compassion of our citizens at large and, if so, the future appears very gloomy. I hope that the President will follow through with his vow to veto this bill. If he does not, I will be very disappointed.
