There are many Democrats who believe that there is advantage to leaving W and Darth on stage. Many also believe there was/is not enough time to conduct proper impeachment hearings and that it would be a waste of time since the Senate, as constituted, would never convict.

Pelosi governs by consensus, which with Dems, is something like herding cats. Her personal politics are very progressive.

Both the article he wrote and the video. I was aware that he’d gone after the banking industry and that’s why he was brought down, but I didn’t know any details. </p> <p>This also begs the question WTF? It’s entirely possible this administration is deliberately bringing down our economy (for their control and pleasure). BIG OUCH!</p> Excellent! Both the article he wrote and the video.

There can be no other possible conclusion: He doesn’t know what he is talking about. He didn’t misspeak. This guy is from my state and he has been in politics for decades and he has run for president before. He knows what to say and what not to say and when to say it. He just doesn’t know. Tell this to all your friends. Happy Easter.</p> If McCain is such a hot shot on this stuff, he would never had made this mistake.

http://firedoglake.com/2008/03…..tion-deal/

it says in yemen, the same time cheney is meeting with abbas, that palestinians, hamas and fatah, agree to go back to way things were before hamas took control of gaza!

WHAT THE HELL? no freakin’ way hamas agreed to this, what kinda nut-twistin’ would make them agree to this?

as i stated in an earlier thread, my antennae are really twitchin’ over what is going on with this one the last few days.

it’s not all about legacy, it’s not all about iran. what the hell is it.

i think this is a big part of the mix—i read a book a few years back by shimon peres where he mentions water rights, and inter-country pipeline routes that are affected by palestine, (he didn’t say that last part specifically, i looked up on maps where the areas were that he was talking about, and guess what? there it was)i think that’s still where the ’money’ is……and funny thing, occupied territories are part of the route. and yet, these are not things that are ever mentioned in the i/p debate.

someone earlier in the thread quoted cheney as being ’committed to the peace process’

why didn’t cheney just say committed to peace? huh?

yeah, the process, but not peace.
