I imagine a world without Rupert Mudroch, where I dont have to come across the crap he deals in. Thanks to this deal, I will be a step closer to that dream.
And he chose bipartisanship (as if 2-3 Repub votes equal bipartisan) over getting the best stimulus bill out. On domestic agenda, the President is proving to be just an average President.
Afterall, the coup that led to his installation on September 11, 1973 & Chile was to become the laboratory of Reaganomics (or is it Friedmanomics?).
All the energy and the money that progressives have poured into the Dem party only to get cheated again and again. What is the point of it all?
Think it is time that progressives start looking at Greens.
He has proved to be even more right wing than Clinton.
What a sorry party it is?
That Reagan praise was all too revealing. Frankly, I am all for progressives ditching the Dem party and voting for Green party or staying home. At least that way the progressives can say they did not take a direct part in the decline of USA.
We have Feingold and probably Franken. Will Brown filibuster a non-public option plan
Do we really need to know the reasons for his career shift. Does it even matter?
The more she stays on, more my hate of Republicans gets replaced by a bemused apathy.
Repubs havent really waged a vigorous attack this time around. The only thing that is preventing healthcare reform is the so-called Blue Dogs. Time that Obama makes that call and tell them that if the dont get behind him then they can kiss his support, campaign time and funding goodbye.
Dems= weasels.
Because only Landrieu, Nelseon and Bayh are just 3 of the 60 Dem senators. And last time I checked 57 out of 100 still formed a majority.
If these so called Dems cannot support something as fundamental as affordable healthcare, it is time to challenge them in primaries and throw them out from these seats.
I would think the more important job is the governing.
Whatever her skills are, she lacks basic communication skills. We dont expect our leaders to be great orators (not anymore anyways), but being comprehensible should be a requirement.
As for media's response to her resignation, most of it seems pointless with everybody conjuring up a new reason for the resignation without a single shred of evidence supporting their theory.
As for her becoming President, I would not write that off. We have a death-wish as evidenced by Bush becoming President twice.
Did not make much sense to me. And this was a prepared statement!
How better to do it by resigning?
Bristol.
Just when i think they have reached the edge of insanity, out pops Sanford and the legion of Foxbots.
That already makes me want to watch.
When philandering husbands follow the script, are they not human? Arent they showing us that holding onto power is their main driving force. Ambition is as much of a human trait as emotional wreckage is.
Barbie doll. Would somebody investigate, please.
I am really doubtful about the ``woman'' part. Who knows with these Republicans.
And I thought Billo had some real issue. This is bizzare even judging by the usual Fox news site.
You dont believe me, just ask the folks at the Discovery Institute.
Is my hypothesis. Either that or he has gone complete insane.
Come on, disappears for 5 days without a security detail.
In case of a civil war?
So why the ruckus over double salary?
is a different matter. I view it as a right-- best way to avoid serving in the army. With the Afghan war escalating, a draft remains a real possibility.
Which brings me to the point that alongwith the gays, the anti-war crowd is the other group stabbed in the back.
As Russ Feingold put it -- Edwards was campaigning on Feingold's votes in the senate while having voted the exactly the opposite.
Of the major Dem candidates, it seems that only Clinton was campaigning on what she believed in. Strange but true.
Because the theory hinges on the fact that Mousavi was declared winner even before a single vote was counted.
there is a very simple way to resolve this. Count the ballots in front of TV!
But what u pointed out is again in my opinion, just a projection of ur desire. As omebody pointed out, this paragraph
from Indpendent explains the ``anomaly''-

``An interval here for lunch with a true and faithful friend of the Islamic Republic, a man I have known for many years who has risked his life and been imprisoned for Iran and who has never lied to me. We dined in an all-Iranian-food restaurant, along with his wife. He has often criticised the regime. A man unafraid. But I must repeat what he said. "The election figures are correct, Robert. Whatever you saw in Tehran, in the cities and in thousands of towns outside, they voted overwhelmingly for Ahmadinejad. Tabriz voted 80 per cent for Ahmadinejad. It was he who opened university courses there for the Azeri people to learn and win degrees in Azeri. In Mashad, the second city of Iran, there was a huge majority for Ahmadinejad after the imam of the great mosque attacked Rafsanjani of the Expediency Council who had started to ally himself with Mousavi. They knew what that meant: they had to vote for Ahmadinejad."
Although i also do not like the result, just do not see any evidence of fraud at play.
Unless there is some concrete evidence, I have a hard time buying that there was fraud. And frankly quoting American govt sources who know almost next to nothing abt Iran, are not the best sources.
