We've heard all the justifications, reasons, excuses, yet bottom line is we don't bring the vote. Period. And the Dem leaders in DC are impotent so let the alarm bells clang away -- won't do any good. Just "we'll have to" and "we need to" and "we should" but no decisive action. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize and grovel.
