Angling the Deflector Shield
I'm confused.
Can anyone tell me when Dick Lugar became a key GOP leader? When was the last peep you heard from him? I can't remember either, but since he crapped on the troops last night, the media is going all McCain-iac on him. "See, see???? I told you there was a GOP guy against the war!!!" has been the story of the media today. Who is this idiot anyway? Sen (R) from Indiana. Does anyone else find it odd that these senators maintain a website of all the "great things" they are doing, except that they all lack a button to track their voting record? Isn't senate voting pretty much the most important thing a senator can do? Why not have a link to show that? I guess that would be too easy, and they don't want that to be the case.
Even the senate.gov page requires a bit of examination to find the "Vote" link. Is it at the top index? Nope, that is reserved for important things like "Visitors" or "Art & History", because when I think of the senate, I think of art and history. The VOTE link is off to the side with other links like the schedule. It is under the "Legislation & Records" index at the top (after a few clicks), but how many citizens go to the website for legislation or records? They go to see VOTES.
Oh, and in case you wanted to see if your senator voted the way you wanted him/her to vote on the Amnesty bill cloture, here is the link:
VOTES
Did they listen to the people? Click the link, and see if they listened to YOU. The whole media circus around Dick Lugar's comments on the war in Iraq is merely a means to distract from the vote that passed today. For a bill that was going to be forced down the throats of the American workers in a rapid, overnight vote, this thing has managed to do nothing except waste the time of the American people. The Arrogant senators voted they way they wanted to anyway, regardless of how many calls they got from their constituents. I guarantee you the calls weren't coming from the illegals. I don't think the senate switchboard has a "press 2 for espanol" (yet).
Look in the mirror...
