Hope this works, I haven’t linked anything using the comment feature yet. I tried to earlier and missed the fact that it didn’t work. sorry for the delayed response. At the 19:20ish mark here on the white house press video the event starts to unfold. Dubya is halfway down the line of officials on the right side of the shot.

Webb is doing a fine job and I am proud to have worked to get him elected.

He’s got a spine and puts his country before politics.

Wake the f*** up will you?!

Well, if you’re offering to get the next round of coffee, I accept. Been pretty wide awake for a while now, not sure where you feel the deficit is.

Wake the f*** up will you?!
Jim Webb will be thrown into Schuumer and Reid’s trasheap of ” Good Democrats too pithy for us.”

No wonder so many Democrats end up on drugs - their need for common sense and dignity is shot in the face by party leaders.

And is why I’m back in a downer mood.

Since 1994 the Congressional insiders, led by the likes of McAulif, Schumer and Emanuel in particular, along with, Hoyer, Harmon, Rockefeller and other ‘centrists’ all may have just barely kept Bill in office for two terms.
But since then other Democrats, so sickened by their weakness and pandering beyond the call of a bi-partisan duty, gutted Congress of all opposition and kept out all but similar minded candidates who were not wanted by their Districts. Candidates like Feingold, Hackkett and Lamont plus hundreds of good strong party voices were all dumped lost the next 6 elections - demoralizing the party and voters into the dirt.

Now it now appears the same dumb ass strategizers, whose ‘great’ ideas lost 6 Congressional elections and 2 Presidencies have talked another good Democrat off the cliff.

Obama misses our point on the Telecom issue. It has everything to do with accountability -and little to do with ‘the Left’ having a vendetta against the Telecoms personally.

I don’[t mind him trying to appeal to a bigger crowd, but as past elections prove - with each new vote gained by a move to the Right, a solid Democrat loses maybe two base votes.

Centrists take the party back, Progressives take the party forward.
I thought Obama had managed an agreeable compromise.

He may squeak a win - great for the insiders seats.
But if you thought 8 years of Bush was bad, think of another 4 years of Harry Reid and Joe Lieberman whining in the Senate and Pelosi and Hoyer worried more about the interstate commerce of monkeys than they are in the state of our nation.

You tried your darndest Governor Dean, hope I see you in Vermont some day.

“At the time, Bush said the provisions could inhibit his ‘ability to carry out his constitutional obligations to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, to protect national security, to supervise the executive branch, and execute his authority as commander in chief.’ “

Isn’t the quote above pretty much the ongoing mantra used by Bush and the neo-cons to push the Unitary Executive notion? It seems to sum up the whole attitude that they have of not wanting to be “inhibit[ed]” by any of the other branches. And Bush has managed to ’stack’ the Supreme Court with a couple of additional justices who could easily come down in favor of the Unitary Executive in any challenge to Presidential power.

Are we in trouble?
