We're not going away

But you are, to spend your recess campaigning.

What an appropriate word for such an infantile congressional majority.

With a majority of Americans supporting impeachment and opposing the war, and the bully pulpit of being one of the highest-polling Democratic political candidates out there, you have done nothing in congress to call to account the criminals running our country.

And you and the rest of the DLC are about to walk away from Washington while they finish shredding all their emails, "forgetting" all the meetings they're currently having while they're working on God knows what illegal scheme that we'll only find out about three years from now when it's too late to do anything about it.

That would be pathetic, except that also, people are dying and our economy is hitting a brick wall. Since you're so obviously interested in the Democratic party winning the presidency, how is a Democrat president going to explain to voters in 2012 that it's not your fault we'll still be in Iraq, gas will be over $10/gallon, and the global economy will be in recession?

How about running on the right policies, instead of what beltway pundits think is going to win the next election?

And that starts with a commitment to democracy and the rule of law. A commitment you apparently left behind when you ran outside for "recess".

Have fun without our votes.
