"Scared to not be in the majority", "still think they need to do whatever the president acts", "fear they will be considered soft on terrorism". WTF?
What country are the democratic leaders living in?

One, two, mumble-mumble, Cheney put your hand down.... yup, looks like 14, maybe fifteen, but you only have your hand halfway up, sir.
