  • This Congress is a full partner in Bush's failures.

    Juan, they weren't winging it when Israel bombed the hell out of Lebanon. We stood ringside while one 'fledgling Democracy' brutalized another.

    That was planned and deliberate, and the Congressional silence screamed out the realities of what was really going on -a willful and intentional negligence of duty -not for the good of the U.S. as a whole, but for more personal gains.

    This Congress was and is run by pro-war wolves in sheep's clothing, who've been waiting quietly for the first tastes of blood in the air -and Bush gave it to them. Lantos and Hoyer in the House are now backed teamed up with pro-war hard liners like Carper, Pryor, Lieberman and Salazar in the Senate.

    And unfortunately they're so filled with paranoia, greed and outright racism they refuse to listen to, and in fact are punishing everyone and anyone not in line with them.

    Every month that goes by a new truth surfaces somewhere revealing what went on behind the scenes of U.S. actions, whether here or abroad. And I'm ashamed to say it's turning out that we weren't and aren't the heroes and good guys everyone thought we were.

    We are ruthless arrogant bastards,pumped up on the drugs of power greed and lust who play one side games against others for quick temporary gains, not worrying about future retaliations..

    Bush has just exposed who our leaders really are.

    While some urge Gore to enter the race to save the world, I beg Gore to enter this race to stop our own Congress.

  • The last sellout....

    To those who believe the Democratic Congress is owned by A*I*P*A*C, have now the proof of who runs not only the DCCC purse strings, but the DSCC purse strings as well. Which should help to explain how Joe Lieberman was brought back to glory.

    Those who stole the very life and independence out of our Congress and our foreign policy, now reign supreme over your every move.

  • About that Syrian blow job, and other phallicies..

    Re: -- 'campaignman'

    1. Mukasey is another threat to the American justice system, of which I happen to be a new and very concerned part of.

    2. Who mentioned religion? I spoke about a hard-line, pro-war, right-wing political action committee. The #1 most powerful in all of D.C, and the one bringing the war with Iran to a recruiting office near you.

    3. Since you mentioned religion, you better get your facts straight. Schumer is absolutely not Jewish.

    4. The Syrian 'nuclear' factory was a joke, just as Israel's info on those 'mobile weapons labs' was a joke.

    The reason it's disappeared from the press and not discussed 'here' anymore is because it was another paranoid Israeli and U.S. intelligence blunder..

    'Nuclear' facilities need water. Lots of it.

    There was not a drop found in any of new satellite photos taken after the building was blown. Zero.

  • Just remember who controls the DSCC and DCCC...

    If you think those two war chests are used for the sake of world Democracy -you're wrong.

    If you think those two war chests are used for the good of America -you're wrong.

    If you think those two war chests have been used to further issues dear to the heart of the Democratic party -you're wrong.

    And if you think your donations are going for the good of the American citizenry -you'd be dead wrong.

    Those two war chests were/are used to bring war with Iraq and war with Iran to a recruiting station near your kids' school.

  • The Right's racism and greed fit neatly ...

    [Read the article: Judiciary Committee approves Mukasey]

    into the DCCC and DSCC contribution schemes.

    Chuck Schumer and Rahm Emanuel have long been known to use their DSCC and DCCC party funds to support candidates who are known to support large contributors and PAC mandates.

    Meaning, it's the large contributors and PAC's who control much of the Democrat's agenda. And I say this as a Democrat now shocked awake to see some of these people for who they really are.

    Iran, Joe Lieberman, Iraq, the Bankruptcy Act of 2005, the Patriot Act, FISA, and on and on I could go prove my point.

    It's no wonder the Dems can't be real Dems - they have foreign growths attached to their spines.

    With this blatantly racist Halloween party insult by the Administration, following a host of other similar offenses from the Right, I see birds of a feather flocking together for profit and personal gain scenario emerging out of all the ash left in their wake.

    And it makes me sick.

    The Bush Administration and the Republican party have blatantly done everything but plant burning crosses in every yard in America, and around the world.

    Now, 'other' lobbying groups are using that same fear and hate to quickly infect an already sick Congress and our foreign policy, until now the world as a whole -burns.

    But the real bitch of it is folkes, that even if they all took that final step and George staged a photo op for the first lighting -who the f#@! would have the balls to do a god$#@! thing about it?

    Especially not as long as the DSCC chair acts as a puppet by it's contributors to deliberately thwart our very Constitution and American Justice system.

  • Look deeper Joan.

    [Read the article: Schumer: Arrogance or impotence?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Like Rahm Emanuel and now Van Hollen with the DCCC, Schumer uses the DSCC purse not for the good of the country , but rather as a fear-mongering tool to push through the mandates of NOT the country and NOT the party, but of it's war chest contributors.

    Schumer bragged about flip flopping against Feingold to push through the Patriot Act11, and he used the same tactics with that monstrous Bankrupcy Act of 2005, he's done it with FISA and a host of other undemocratic actions.

    Hoyer and Emanuel have done the same with the DCCC purse to push Iran, Iraq and oil related undemocratic activities in the House.

    It's all about the furtherance of a special interest and insider led agenda.

    George Bush and Tom Delay aren't the only ones infected with a blood-lust for money and power.
