Me: Well, I’m not trying to get rid of the Senate, but I am saying that they appear to be an antiquated concept in today’s economy.

There is no aspect of our government that isn’t broken or bent. Since the fabric used in it’s construction does not bend back in to place, it is time to find a new material to build our foundation.

The foundation has always been that we intend to live together and use peaceful means to do that. The Republicans are violating that ”contract”.

”New material”? What did you have in mind except for the ’Will of the People’?

I looked up Chuckles..he is another religious nut job. He doesn’t know if the current economic crisis is God’s judgement, or not.

DeMint (sounds French) is an asshole in every sense of the word, in all contexts. What’s extra scary to me is that his staff seems to be a little more on the ball than Lindsey Graham’s.

Oh, to live in SC and be an unabashed liberal…it’s fun but painful at the same time.

… and it’s looking more and more like the future of high-performance cars from GM will look like this.

Screw this, I’ll be at the Nissan dealership ordering a 370Z. I just need to decide: yellow, blue, or black?

“Republican Senator Admits Opposition to Auto Bill is All About Union Busting…”

I’m glad a Texan is first to point out the; “8000 pound grey elephant with a stars and bars banner draped over it’s back” in the room.

Union or Confederate, with us or against us.

Doh! :/

I heard this interview yesterday on NPR on my way home and was furious by the time I got her. I resolved to do a diary on it the moment I got the time, but you’ve done better than I ever could. Thanks.

Funny how the Repubs NEVER needed 60 votes to pass any of their hideous agenda. But for Dems, 60 is the new 50. Just wait. When/if they get to 60, they’ll whine that they don’t have 100, so they can’t do anything.

Find out what products are produced in the repubs states and boycott those products - make sure the news media know of this so it spread. Calling them won’t make much difference, but hitting them in their respective state’s businesses will.

Food for thought.

Members of the House who have been cited as participants include Frank Wolf of Virginia and Joseph Pitts of Pennsylvania. Charles Colson, an adviser of Richard Nixon, was also a member of “the Family” [2].
