Re: An open letter to Sen. Leahy
I think you are right. Both sides of the aisle love the national stage and do everything they can to stand on it. Then when confronted they will hide behind bogus the "I'm just representing the views of my district/state" argument.
The sad thing is that even when we are in a national crisis situation, the not so thinly veiled partisanship is there...as both sides try to position for the next election cycle.
Ah but then I guess that's that ugly part of a Republican form of Democracy.
