Dammit, I hate being proven right!

If you were one of the Americans waiting for Congress, under Democratic control, to show leadership on the war in Iraq, the message from the Senate is clear: "Nevermind." The same goes for those waiting for lawmakers to fix the damage done to civil liberties by six years of President Bush and a rubber-stamp Republican Congress.

This in an editorial posted Friday titled: "In Search Of A Congress": http://tinyurl.com/28k7oy

The key is that IF Democrats controlled 60 votes in the senate, then Democrats could be blamed of 'controlling' congress. There is NOT DEMOCRATIC CONTROL of congress!!! THERE ISN'T, THERE ISN'T THERE ISN'T!!!

Dammit people but this H-U-G-E detail is going to be used as a knife that is going straight into the back of the Democratic party in the elections!!!

Can't anyone realize this is dangerous!?!?! People that represent Democrats and their ideals HAVE TO MAKE the REPUBLICAN CONTROL OF THE SENATE AN ISSUE or the (s)elections next year are going to be framed by statements like: 'Democrat party in control of Congress that won't represent the people' which is true on one count but is a blatant lie on the other!

Failing to address this issue is damaging, perhaps more so, because it feeds the RNC framing of the 'do nothing democrats' who can't stand for anything...

Dammit I see the wall coming and it's going to hurt...

I read somewhere that the 'religious' right didn't buy the republican party because they were religious, they bought them because they were for sale...

Giuliani is a joke. He is obviously unfit to be president but in a country that has a very recent history of electing and re-electing a man and a political junta unfit for to be president of ANYTHING, we must assume that he has a shot at the Oval Office.

Damning people with the 'anti-semite' label is a massively powerful advertising campaign of the GOP and Israel.

Two things frighten me about the Middle East: 1) Cheney and 2) Israel. Both seem to be staying active and malignant for a long time.

It should be entertaining to watch the changeling GOP candidates morph to draw voters. Whatever colour or position they morph into can't cover the stench of stupidity and craven cowardice and rank opportunist vigor for pushing GOP placed social issue buttons.

The GOP prices have no clothes. Maybe it's from all the contorting and posturing?

Here MoveOn is worried about Petraeus betraying us.

The democrat congress is a whole hell of a lot worse for betraying us, the constitution and every tenet of the founding fathers!

You want to know whose finger prints are on the knife in the back of Democracy? Look to those that refuse to stoop to the level of defending it.

The true target THE TRUE TARGET!!! of the MoveOn ad SHOULD have been THE SPINELESS DEMOCRAT CONGRESS!

Ifto the woodshed, I'll personally give them $500.00 as a contribution AND I'll personally deliver it to their headquarters!!! (I can't afford it but would go into debt to support them in their attacks on the dino-crats)

The true enemy of democracy and freedom isn't Bush now, it's the lick spittle democrat 'lawmakers' that pee themselves in their efforts to please the most unpopular president in the history of this country!

That's what I get out of the comment on the ad.

As an aside: I've always wondered why AT&T (at&t) was able to get so big again and Verizon is rising to the top of the cesspool and Qwest was prosecuted so forcefully.

While reading walter_map's definitions I thought of my wife.

When we met, she was a democrat. She became a republican in college and now identifies with libertarianism.

She's gone from good to bad to worse but as I researched the definition of libertarianism, I came to believe that Bush and his followers are far more libertarian than 'conservative' or 'republican' under the definitions of both words.

Bush's swelling of the government and the budget is anti-conservative. His stand on taxes as religion seems way to libertarian then 'conservative'.

Maybe I'm wrong but that's the way I see it. The libertarian party running a candidate against him would be redundant...

Craig's stall. Right on both counts...

I feel the same way about iTunes.

I try not to buy much of anything there except maybe a single song from an album that I'm interested in. If I like that song, I usually go out and buy the CD and then over write the iTunes version.

Yes, it is a waste of money in that I already bought a song from the CD but I view it as 'damaged' in some psychic/cosmic way.

I somehow accumulated several iTunes accounts and found out that some of the earlier purchases from iTunes couldn't be played anymore on my iMac or ipod. I feel foolish but not for forgetting the account (which I really can't remember) but for paying for music from a site that would deny me the right to listen to the tracks on my own computer. Is it more stupid to buy heavily restricted music or to forget a username/password. I think the former.
