1. Fear?...

Ignorance? How the game is played? Sometimes it seems as though DC is on another planet, and they've had all their brains sucked out.

2. Because they are arrogant, soul less bastards!

3. Because the corporations will target them if they go against

the military-corporate structure. They pretend to be progressive, but I am disgusted. And I have only been a democrat for 1 and 1/2 years.

4. Mmmm...$$$ ?

5. I don't think it has as much to do with their districts

as it has to do with what the administration is using over them as blackmail.

Check this out. Long article but, I think accurate.


The years of illegal spying have given the Bush administration power over the media and the opposition. Journalists and Democratic politicians don't want to have their adulterous affairs broadcast over television or to see their favorite online porn sites revealed in headlines in the local press with their names attached. Only people willing to risk such disclosures can stand up for the country.

they don't dare criticize--they won't take Bush head on, and call him a liar.

8. 'Cause the BFEE Blackmails Them with NSA stuff. When That Doesn't Work…

Edit to Add, Please Mr. Conyers, NO SMALL AIRPLANES! We can't afford to lose you!
