Cowering Democrats

I really dont understand what is the problem with some Democrats. Russ Feingold has introduced a motion to censure Bush for the illegal wiretapping. But so far, it appears that he has very little support by fellow democrats in the senate.

"I'm amazed at Democrats...cowering with this president's numbers so low," said Feingold.

We are all amazed. Whats wrong with many democrats? Why dont they stand for the right thing? Why dont they have some guts? Russ Feingold does, but many of the other democratic senators simply try to be "political". But they are not good at that. Thats why we keep loosing elections to an extreme right-wing radical reprublican party.
