You need to add Michele Bachmann (R-MN)to your list.

Another target needs to be PELOSI,
–unless she recants and comes out strong in support of IMPEACHMENT, NOW!

Ds should choose their battles carefully and there is no shortage of them currently without adding impeachment to the agenda. Pelosi is doing a good job with a very diverse caucus. She and Reid are helping to turn the Ship of State and it’s a very big ship. IMHO, as long as the Ds continue the investigations and try to stop the war and bring our troops home, the political landscape will continue to change in the Ds’ favor. Relax about impeachment. Wait a while.

do-si-do, I think we’re concerned the analogy is Nicholas II.

I see your point about imcompetence and opportunity to wreak havoc. the scene in Catherine where Peter is playing with his toy soldiers is what haunts me. The immaturity & role-playing and over all not “getting it.”

Well, either way, Russia isn’t the country I grew up in. Bush has done more to promote terror than the terrorists.

I’m a little slow (as well as tired), but I dont get why Bush is so adamant that he is going to veto the Iraq emergency supplemental (which, btw, funds the war thru FY 2008). The Conference Committee went with the softer Senate language that says “with a goal of completing such redeployment within 180 days.” What’s the big deal, George? You could drive a truck through this wording, even without a signing statement.

Because he wants a fight.

He wants to turn this into a Republicans vs. Democrats, “us versus them” fight. The problem that he has its not shaping up to be Republicans vs. Democrats – it is instead Realists (both D and R) versus a small crowd of ideologues living in a fantasy world.

It can’t be said enough: Bush/Cheney/Rove is a crazy three headed despot. (like Fluffy in Harry Potter). Do Repubs want to support a crazy admin which is alienating the entire globe including their own US citizens?

sorry if everyone is already off to work and/or another thread. I’m in California and it’s true: we sleep in three hours longer than the nation…

also forgive me if someone else has already pointed this out. And if anyone can steer me to any relevant articles (brain cells left on beach, dude!): Bush doesn’t care about the war itself. I think the war is solely a tool to keep his commander-in-chief status to keep his expanded unconstitutional power. Has anyone else drawn a comparison to silly, scary, unpopular Czar Peter III of Russia?

This is the only thing I can come up with to explain the unexplicable.

Also, what you all have also pointed out time and again (I think) is that the Republicans have to be firmly and kindly reminded that Bushco changed the rules. They are being lied to as much as the Dems. They are being used as much as Pat Tillman. If they show any small amount of deviation from the Bush line, they should be loved up and down to continue to grow in courage. Like a recovery group hug. Hope this makes sense.
