Obama wasn't my first choice. Hell, he wasn't 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, but I got behind him until his FISA vote. Sure he got my vote Nov 4th, because a choice between Obama/Biden and Ace/BibleSpice isn't a choice at all for anyone with more than an ounce of reason.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - in a year the "Conservatives" are going to be happier with Obama than the "Liberals". A previous poster had it right, when's he going to break bread with Chomsky, Krugman, Green Peace or Amnesty International?
I'm all for giving Obama a chance in office, but at every fork in the road he's taken a "Right" turn. And the "Conservatives" get to move the Overton window again by labeling him "the most liberal congresscritter evah!"
It's past time the elected representatives of the Democratic Party actually reflected the values of those that voted for them. I understand the frustration of those that vote 3rd party. Well, the USA is my country, The Democratic Party is my party, and I want them both back, dammit! One down, one to go.
Shrub's Victory Lap and Legacy Rehabilitation Tour conflicts with his alleged indifference to how people view him.
"'I don't give a darn,' Bush responded." = more lies from this pathetic waste of space.
Where's my shoe?
I expect secret pardons by the truckload for Cheney and his minions.
Pay attention, this is a difficult concept to grasp, especially for those that watch too much Hollywood TV.
The law should be applied to the border guards to protect American citizens.
the Homeland Stupidity dufus?
1991 South Africa - Why dwell on the past? Sure mistakes were made, but now is a time of hopeful renewal, a time for looking forward. It's not really important who discriminated against whom.
1953 USSR - Why dwell on the past? Sure mistakes were made, but now is a time of hopeful renewal, a time for looking forward. It's not really important who was purged or who ordered the purging.
1946 Germany - Why dwell on the past? Sure mistakes were made, but now is a time of hopeful renewal, a time for looking forward. It's not really important who went to the showers or who sent them.
To the Congressional Critters and President Hope(tm) I say this: you can cover your asses, or save your souls, but not both.
The USPS's monopoly at the mailbox subsidized their foray into the overnite delivery business.
Classic misdirection.
Kudos to you. Maybe with a little more work you can make it to the top.
What's the prize for being the worlds greatest ignorant racist prick?
His having participated in the grandest of rapes, all I can say is "it takes one to know one."
They're all fig puckers.
The GOP seemed to think that worker compensation and the right to organize (i.e., worker compensation) should be limited during these trying times. Turn-about is fair play. Except when it applies to GOP, right?
Please reference where in the Constitution it says that Dems need 60 votes to bring a vote.
Otherwise, please stop parroting MSM/GOP talking points.
Only because they were in power less than a decade.
I'm tired of people saying "Yeah, but ...." BushCo pissed away our ideals for a few pieces of silver. Breaking the law was the least of Bush's offenses.
Where are the 'tough on crime' people when you need them?
Leaving The Lone Start State to cheerleader fucktards like Shrub and Hutchinson, and generic fuctards like "Box Turtle" Cornyn was a bad, bad idea.
Not that it really matters with manchurian fucktards like Reid and Pelosi. Only when Liberals and Progressives exert any influence in the party will it be relevant what the letter is behind the name.
Note to the Ed., can you see what's wrong with this sentence?
"So Republican incumbents like Richard Burr, in North Carolina, is joining usual Democratic targets...."
That the author does such a good job of critical thinking is reflected by the anger, denials, misdirection, and strawman arguments presented by the Freeper Nation wackos. The author hits a bulls-eye.
While I want to emphasize what a good job the author did here, I think the real news is that truth will out, eventually, even on Faux News.
Word to the Freeper Freaks, Dittoheads, and Faux News Afficionados - you lost. Now you're either with us or you're with the terrorists. Why do you hate America so much?
You should be waterboarded until you admit waterboarding is torture.
I bet you'd go as long as 3 seconds before crying like a sissy. Not because waterboarding is torture, but because all you get-tough twerps are hung like gerbils.
"Some of those that were tortured were innocent. How do we come to terms with those that were cruelly mistreated and were innocent, never charged, were illegally detained and never compensated for their suffering?"
I do thing Taguba is one of the good guys. Is he saying that torture is only sometimes bad? Maybe we've allowed our standards to slip too low for what constitutes a "good guy".
Put me down as another vote for "commissions, my ass!" We need to get to the bottom of this. Even if it means torturing Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and their enablers (Yoo, et al).
Don't you know CLINTON is responsible for all things bad! St. Raygun's foresight preemptively stemmed the tide on Clinton's evildoing, which only became apparent after all the good things Shrub did, like torturing our freedoms - I mean "torturing FOR our freedoms." Now shut up and start blaming Obama for the collapse of Wall St.
That spellcheck is it a bitch, ain't it?
