the drilling legislation is a shining example because she knows that it is going to pass with flying colors and in a bipartisan way so instead of putting it to a vote and since it would make obama look bad she instead, is willing to put this country at risk purely for political reasons.

I have said it before, the democrats defeat themselves every time and consistently pull a defeat from the jaws of victory.

Me? I am a long time democrat that prays every election that the party will put someone in the running that I can believe in and then run an honest campaign, but they just don't get it, I am completely turned off by the manipulation and smear campaigns they consistently run,when are they going to figure out that the American people just want honesty and a candidate that will stand firm on his/her convictions, and quit changing their policy based on the latest weekly poll.
