This has to be said about these Republicans. The people are paying attention now and its not as if they’re not aware of who the bad people in the Congress are anymore. I saw this on Huffpo and its true. The Repubs are ensuring that they’ll soon be the extinct party far away from the American people’s political reality because of the scandals and lack of integrity.

They’re just a bunch of foolish crusty old men. The remedy is: TERM LIMITS!! a new ammendment should be passed to limit service to 3 terms in the Senate and 10 in the House. Even that is way too many but, its a start.

Look, the American government is deliberately designed to move very, very slowly. This is to prevent the tyranny of the majority. … Do not expect that because we have nominally taken control of the Senate we can actually make forward progress. We can’t. We can, however, start turning things around.

…

And we have made progress. Just not (much) legislative progress. With immigration reform dead (and Social Security “reform” dead), Bush can’t do anything more with his legislative agenda. And Cheney is in deep doo doo (blogwhoring alert).

…

We have a lot of legislating to do, so it probably makes good sense to start NOW. To that end I suggest we continue the pressure on the administration with oversight hearings and plans to impeach Cheney and Alito and Gonzales.

But, more than that, we should present our own legislative package. Better immigration legislation (perhaps Feinstein and Cornyn could so-sponsor) to show Dems can get the job done when Bush can’t, an “out of Iraq” bill, legislation pushing for more green fuels and other energy sources and perhaps building materials utilizing solar power, a health care reform package (whether a large comprehensive one or several small pieces of the puzzle) and a corporate retirement fund protection bill.

We should put our plans into action and let the Repubs filibuster if they dare!

Other ‘restore the Rule of Law’ legislation should be very high on our priority list for legislation.

There’s just sooo much to do. Time’s a wastin’.

The purple dinosaur?

Uh, no. The one he expects to stick up for him even after Laura ditches him. The one he dropped on the tarmac at the airport in front of a bunch of kids (you can find that one on Youtube).

Bush says he has moral superiority.

And maybe Barney agrees. Maybe.

Gordon at 128, yes, and-
Remember when we were taught that the North won the American Civil War bc they had the manufacturing plants, and the South did not have manufacturing and lost. Our government is not for Americans any longer, and we are in deep shit.

Well actually, as a 55 yr old Yankee, I was told it was moral superiority. I’m glad they’ve gotten slightly more realistic ;-).
