Liberalpro: Give me a break, enough is enough. So far, this has gone from a strong resolution, to a moderate resolution, to a strong non-binding resolution, and now to a whimper that basically says: please don't "surge", and we promise not to cut your funding. Either you don't understand why you are the Majority Leader in the Senate now, or you just don't like your job anymore. Fact is Harry, people are getting a bit tired of the Democrats already. This might just be the thing that finishes off your “second chance party” and paves the way for a new political party.

We just can't go on the way that we are going. I never thought I would say this, but I'm coming to hate my own country. It has become a vile, disgusting monster that seems to want to subjugate not only the world, but it's own people. Why? I think I know why. It's for the few. The many will sacrifice for the few. The few that have been born or have been smiled on by fate, to be included in the class of the wealthy. The wealthy and the privileged that can't seem to have enough wealth and power. The few politically connected families with mega-fortunes that jealously guard their wealth and who create situations that will enable them to grab more wealth and with it... more power.

The people of this once proud country used to be secure in the knowledge that America would always find the way to do what was moral. Sometimes the change has came slowly, but change would always come. We always had a surplus of leaders that had that spark of real morality. The kind of leaders that would right these injustices and bring us back to a moral center. Those kind of leaders are nowhere to be found, at least not in the government. The people that have been charged to take the helm of this "Ship of State" seem to be steering her into the shoals, to run her aground. There seems to be no moral compass to show these would-be leaders where right is, as the direction they take us in is always wrong.

The right in America is anything but. It seems as if there are no longer two parties, but an aristocracy that is hell-bent on sacrificing anything for the short-term while our long term goals are non-existent. There is no future for these people, only the present, and as long as this rich aristocracy is making a profit, it matters not what we are sacrificing for the future.

The words that come out of the opposition party are strong and brave, but the reality of their actions are meek and timid. The Democrats claim that they can not get enough support if they criticize the administration. That they must "go along to get along". So they surrender even before they act. This is the death knell of a once proud political party. Either you want to reign in these pretenders or you don't. Either you want to be part of the solution or just another part of the problem. The choice is clear. The path is laid out for you. It is up to the Democrats to do what they said they would do. This might just be the last time you get to make a decision on what path to take. You must act with conviction and make clear what it is that you are demanding. To stand on the side and timidly ask that this President not escalate this war will not work. He will start a war with Iran next. You know it and I know it and so do a majority of Americans. Now is not the time to be subtle. Our future is in the Senate’s hands. It is a sin that you are promoting a “non-binding” resolution, and a watered down gutted non-binding resolution is just not acceptable. The worst that could happen is that a strong resolution gets defeated. At least you will have sent this President a message that he can not ignore. I can’t be any plainer than I am right now. The decision rests with the Democrats for the first time in 12 years. Either you show the American people what you are made of, or apologize to them and resign so that we may elect real leaders for the People’s House. Remember this Harry, you work for us, and I can guarantee that I have millions of people behind me as I write these words. Ignore them at your peril.
