wow! so much for having a voice in this government!

McClellan: If You Opposed The War You Don’t Count

At today’s press briefing, White House spokesman Scott McClellan was asked about the letter Rep. John Conyers sent to the President asking questions about the Downing Street Memo. The letter has been signed by 112 members of Congress and 550,000 concerned citizens.

QUESTION: On another topic, has the president or anyone else from the administration responded to the letter sent last month by Congressman John Conyers and signed by dozens of members of the House of Representatives regarding the Downing Street memo? Has the president or anyone else responded?

MCCLELLAN: Not that I’m aware of.

QUESTION: Why not?

MCCLELLAN: Why not? Because I think that this is an individual who voted against the war in the first place and is simply trying to rehash old debates that have already been addressed.

So remember, if you opposed the war in Iraq don’t bother asking questions. You don’t count anymore.

That is some excuse! I'd like to see that used in a court of law!!! Or even in a marriage!!!
Pretty insulting to the 500,000 people who signed the petition! (myself included). bush is just blatant in his disregard for any sort of communication with anyone who doesn't agree with him 100%! I guess those in his administration must have learned that pretty quick!
