tell me again why the turd wasn’t flushed and it keeps coming back up like mr. hankey? isn’t it absurd to consider doing anything to assist a criminal regime? Isn’t assisting it a crime?
I can’t quite understand why lawmakers are doing anything to assist someone breaking every law possible? It is the kind of thing that if it were to happen in the real world, the perpetrators would be arrested.
the government is completely broken folks, it is upside down and it can’t even find the door

because the Democrats are a Corporate Authoritarian, elite faction with a slightly different marketing strategy than the (R)’s, that’s why.

And they don’t have to change to win elections, because most folks who care deeply about the terrible injustices being perpetrated in Washington are in the thrall of the Axiom of Automatic Support for the Least Worst.

sorry for OT – Bush to request additional $46 billion for wars.

…but we can’t pay for S-CHIP

Just say no.

(while some of you are biting your nails waiting for 10:30) :)

12:30 for some of us…*g* (Did you get my message?)

Mr. REID. I have indicated, Madam President, we have a lot of work to do. The chairman of the Judiciary Committee and I have stated on a number of occasions that on controversial judicial nominations we are not going to move on those until the minority tells us that is what they want to do. One of those nominations is Judge Southwick. That matter was reported out of committee sometime ago, and both Senator Leahy and I have said that when the Republicans tell us they want to move to that nomination, we would do that. So sometime next week I am more than likely going to move to that matter. So I want everyone to know that, in fact, is the case. – Harry Reid, 10/19/07

In other words, no Democrat is willing to use any of their precious ‘political capital’ to place a hold on this nomination, in opposition to Pat Leahy and Harry Reid’s wish to just keep the bullies happy, as the nation declines and falls.

Harry Reid believes we should all just “trust” in the benevolence of the corporate CEO culture, the way he does, never mind that inconvenient historical document that formed this nation. Planning only as far ahead as the next quarter’s revenue projections, or until the next election, the long-term interests of the company or nation be damned, is the unsustainable ethos that Harry Reid practices, with his own self-interest uppermost in mind.

As Senator Dodd has recently and vitally demonstrated regarding the corporate/government collusion on FISA lawbreaking, continuing to blindly follow this particular little man and his mendacious “leadership” of the caucus and thus the United States Senate is a prescription for ongoing disaster. Every Senator – because uniquely empowered to oppose – who refuses to oppose this corrupt and dangerous man is therefore as responsible as Harry Reid is for his ‘keep the bullies happy, never mind the cost to the nation’ willful refusal to try to stop the ongoing destruction of our nation and of its people’s present and future prospects.

So I’m asking for a favor today: call your Senators and tell them to vote no on Southwick. And then send them an e-mail. And a FAX. And call their local office.

I know you mean well. I simply can’t bring myself to do these things any more. Don’t you think the eventual rebuilding of our lives will be even harder for all the faith we’ve wasted on these people?

But John honey, if you take your eye off them they will slip us into a facist state all the more quickly and quietly. You aren’t calling and writing with the expectation that you can make them do the right thing- you’re doing it to let them know that the citizens of this country are watching. And just knowing you’re watching does make them less brazen, and keeps the damage down until we can replace them. YOU make the difference between future progressives having to clean up 470* piles of shit, and a mountain of shit so deep and high that there won’t be a constitution left to wipe with.
(* guess where I pulled that number out of?)
