Well I say you drifted when you insisted it be called democra
ic lawmakers. Whether it is the democrat party or the democratic party, it doesn’t seem all that democratic. As for George Bush losing the popular vote in 2000, that was primarily due to the fact that the major news media outlets who called the election for Gore hours before the polls closed suppressing the votes of millions of republicans who failed to show up at the polls because they were told it was over. It's not hard to see that the voters who were discouraged from going to the polls would have easily made up the 500,000 votes needed to get Bush the popular vote, and that small a difference could have been made up in California alone. The 2004 election where he received more votes than any other president in history and more than 50% of the popular vote proves that, an accomplishment by the way, that the ever so popular Bill Clinton never achieved in either of his successful presidential campaigns.
But to get back on the subject at hand, it did not escape my notice that you have to defend the three congressman with the following quote, "None of the congressional representatives are accused of any wrongdoing", which is true in the legal sense (yet). However, why do you feel the need to defend them at all (other than the "D" after their names)? While these alleged lawmakers may not have technically broken the law (McDermott's previous criminal activities that he was never prosecuted for not included), they are guilty of at least poor judgment. That is they traveled to Iraq at the very moment we were about to go to war with them attempting to undermine the president and demonstrating division amongst the American people to the Iraqi dictator. They may not be guilty of breaking the law, no, but they should be held accountable for their lack of judgment and leadership as leaders of our country.
