Does Rummy Speak For Them Or Not?

So Donald (“The Defense Secretary You Have” – still, after all this time) Rumsfeld said that anyone who opposes Bush “lack courage on terror.”

Rumsfeld believes that anyone who opposes Bush is suffering from “moral and intellectual confusion,” and he blames the media for not providing “more good news” on Iraq (a particularly silly criticism because the Repugs own much of our corporate media anymore and have an abundance of freeper web sites out there that they can use to foist their biased babble on us).

I think it’s time that we contact our elected representatives on this and get them on the record, and I don’t think “demand” is too strong of a word to use when it comes to getting them to say whether or not they support Rummy on this.

I’ve provided the following links below:

U.S. Senate

Rick Santorum
Arlen Specter

U.S. House of Representatives

Mike Fitzpatrick
Jim Gerlach
Frank LoBiondo
Joe Pitts
Chris Smith
Curt Weldon
(Admiral Joe is tied with Crazy Curt in the latest WaPo poll, by the way, at 46 apiece. You can read more about it here, under "Pure Toss Up").

Please communicate with these people directly and, as I said, demand that they tell you whether or not they support Rummy on this, or if they think our defense secretary is hanging out on a limb all by himself. I will be very interested to hear what they have to say.

I’m planning to address this some more anyway, and I’ll get to that in the coming days also.
