To All the Spineless Senators

To all the spineless Senators – We won’t let you forget it And when you think of what you did I hope you will regret it. With such compelling evidence And lives (your own!) at stake, It seemed a guilty verdict Was an easy road to take. What would have made you change your minds? Mike Pence strung up outside? Or Nancy killed while all of you Found places you could hide? Integrity is something which Not everyone can claim. To the 43 who lack it, I can only say – for shame!

Excellent, Ilene, and reflecting how so many of us feel. There is no substitute for integrity, and it seems awfully hard to find among politicians these days! Congratulations on the success of your poem and POTD.

wow, ilene, I love the way this rhyme clips right along, like a child happy to know the truth. Integrity is something not everyone can claim, yet a child is happy to know the truth and what's fair, and to see who are the adults in the room. How comforting to know that there are 7 Adult Republicans who have integrity! And, yes the others have brought shame upon themselves. Your poem says it so well.

It seems you have a copy cat who's written a one-liner in contradiction to your post, suggesting that those seven who voted for conviction committed political suicide. If so, their integrity is still intact, and that's so much more important then the job. They swore an oath to serve their country, not a misguided fool. I stand with you.

Exactly how many of us feel and you express it so well, Ilene. Would it have taken the death of a Congressman to find fault? Come next election day, the 43 may find they've lost some support. I used to donate to Rubio because I knew him in Tallahassee to be a good man. No more. I think a new Republican party will form... (fave) Hugs, Carolyn

Should have been POTD! Knowing how Trump would respond, how could any one of them possibly believe they acted in the best interest of their constituents, or the USA? Aloha! Rico

You took these words right out of my mouth, Ilene! No one could have written it any better. Trump has vowed to retaliate – in his usual Machiavellian way – against those who voted to impeach him and for their disloyalty. As for those who voted out of conscience, why are they being punished? Talk about Pandor's box!!! – Maurice
