"We Want Tough Action, not Toothless Resolutions," TrueMajority thunders in an email,
"Now that we have a Congress that can make some progress in Iraq, don't let the Democrats cave in" the email goes on. "Push them to pass meaningful legislation that will actually change the direction in Iraq."
Unh huh.
Congress has the authority to end the war now. They control the purse strings and if they should decide the money should only be spent on bringing the troops home, we would be out of the war in 3 to 6 months.
But Congress is too gutless to do that, or to do the only thing that would truly change things -- impeach George Bush.
I sent TrueMajority an email reply making that point:
"This is typical of the messages I keep getting from True Majority. While it is a fine sentiment, it is useless.
"The only "meaningful legislation" that will make any difference in the path that the nation is on is impeachment and True Majority should be devoting the time, energy and money of its followers to that end.
"Everything else is meaningless feel-good rhetoric."
But TrueMajority is as unlikely to act as Congress.
