I enjoy reading Glenn because he talks to many points that I consider important and can't find in the MSM. It's also impressive that he reads the comments.
1. The ineffectiveness of the democrats in congress truly amazes me. Hoyer, Baird, and Fienstein appear to be perfect candidates for removal. I would financially support democratic candidates that opposed them. I think that strategy worked for Lamont. Lieberman is part of the pro-Israel, neocon, AEI cabal wanting the USA presence in the Middle East to protect israel. I'm not too sure that he was voted in by the republicans in the general election. I'm going to check the polls but I recall being very surprised that he was voted in by democrats and independents to a goodly amount. Incidentally I have emailed Hoyer hundreds of times over the years complaining of his calling Colbert's appearance at the White House Press Corp dinner as "tasteless," his initial support of the war, his ties to Abramoff and K Street lobbyists, and his vote for the bankruptcy act which devastates poor people. I have never received a reply.
2, When I was protesting the war back in 2002 I was appalled at how cruel the DC police were being to the protesters. Nothing was ever printed in the MSM. It was quite different than the Vietnam war protests and it gave me great concern. Then I kept reading about the national data bases. And as I got into arguments with neocon supporters, they seemed to always end the conversation by telling me that I was being reported to the CIA to be put on the list. I thought about it and concluded that I was accomplishing nothing and probably putting myself in danger They always added that I should be sent to Gitmo.
3. As Paul Krugman stated the other day, it is much easier now to be against the Bush administration than it was in 2002.
