The worst thing that happens is that the Republican spin-machine villafies whoever votes against it and we lose. But, we have been losing already. So, I just think Congressional Dems need to step-up, stand-up, and fight for issues they believe in and if they lose- at least they're losing with dignity. The worst feeling to have (and one that many dems feel now) is that we're losing AND we're not standing for anything in the process. Lisa- It scares me too.

This one scares me. I totally agree that, while I would not burn the American flag (or any other flag for that matter), it is a matter of free speech that should be protected. But I fear the backlash against any democrat, or democrats in general, who takes a strong stand on this issue. I hope I'm wrong. I hope someone does take that stand and gets rewarded rather than villified for taking it. I dunno. This one scares me.

We dropped the ball on Terry Schiavo by staying mum on the insanity. GWB always talks about how he doesn't read the polls, and generally people seem to respond to his steadfastness. Let's try it for once. I think I would actively campaign against Hillary if she goes over to the fascist side on this one.
