In our previous post, we attempted to document that the AIPAC lobby has been among the most strident and vociferous supporters of the Bush-Cheney administration's war; in 'journalism' and 'reporting' from the mainstream media, and we suggested that AIPAC funding, through both registered lobbyists and well organized if 'grassroots' calls among AIPAC voters, have also deeply influenced Democratic Party politics.
The short answer to:
"Why don't the Democrats in the Senate put up ANY real opposition to the serial lawbreaking and lies of the Cheney-Rove-Bush-Libby-Gonzales administration?"
is
"Because many Democratic senators BOW TO the AIPAC lobby's SUPPORT FOR THE WAR, and thus Democrats find themselves TACITLY SUPPORTING the administration's abuses in furthering... OR EXPANDING... that war."

"I get the "conservative" part of "conservative Democrats." Because conservatives bow down to authority without regard to reason or law. But I don't get the "Democrat" part. What part of giving President Bush complete authority to start a new, disastrous war makes you a Democrat?"
And still MORE on Cheney's use of AIPAC alliance to assert that ALL WHO OPPOSE IRAQ WAR ARE GUILTY OF TREASON:
