WHAT OPPOSITION?

Is there anything more disgusting than the meretriciousness displayed by members of the Democratic party in rubber stamping everything that our fearful leader recklessly crams down this country's throat (SEE STORY HERE) ? Where are the promises to keep this lunatic under control while we all are forced to suffer through the last miserable year of his illegitimate presidency? Didn't these spineless worms get swept into office on promises of bringing an end to the policies of this most embarrassing, incompetent, inconceivably detrimental chicken hawk? Can someone please tell me what happened to the opposition in this country? Right about now I'm thinking I may as well just move to Burma where at least you know what you're up against.

So what does this rant have to do with Japan? I find it amazing how the opposition party in Japan can have the discipline and courage to take on the ruling elites without fear of repercussions or concern for upcoming elections. The upper house of the DIET literally PULLED JAPAN OUT OF COLLUSION WITH THIS MANIAC BUSH'S "OPERATION FREEDOM". No excuses, no strategy explanations, just action. If only we had the democratic traditions of Japan.
