I just wanted to highlight this even further…

Lee Terry, the Republican Congressman from Nebraska, voted against putting into place the plans layed out in the 9/11 Commission Report. WTF? The vote was 299 to 128 with 68 Republicans voting for it.

That is to say, out of 435 Congressmen & Congresswomen, only 128 voted against this bipartisanly supported bill. The recommendations in the bill itself, I’d like to point out, were written by a bipartisan commission.

If you want to draw a stark line between how Jim Esch would have behaved in Congress, and how Lee Terry has, this is that line. Lee Terry is no bipartisan… he’s an extremist Republican, and that’s now finally becoming clear. When Lee Terry runs for office next, he’s going to have to deal townhall-meetings full of Omahans like you and me asking him to explain why he voted for a less safe country. Or in terms that George Bush would understand,

“Why Do You Hate Freedom, Mr. Terry?”
