That's why Richard Clark's hair was on fire when he kept trying to get the Bush Administration to take up the alarm mantle that the Clinton Administration had been following by having strategy meetings on an almost daily basis.

Amen. Thank you for reminding everyone of this. It's astonishing that people want to give Bush and the three amigos (Cheney, Condi, and Rummy) a pass on this. It's as if Bush's words "bring it on" in the wake of 9/11 hypnotized the masses.

To me anyway, you might as well be republcains. Wait until he wins. obama has done nothing worthy of destroying him, a la bush. tha tis the differance. Bush should be went after. he has done much to hurt this great nation.

Obama? He risks much. He gets it all day from the gop. Now he gets it from bitter old clinton hags, and old scholl "democrat" sell-outs, siding with teh fascsits. Who is left fighting for obama?

The gop is laughing their asses off. They sit back and let the dem sell-outs rip their party apart. With freinds like you who needs enemies?

Republicans think- “My party right or wrong!”

Democrats think- “My party wrong or right?”

Brilliant. Absolutely the best comment I've read in days.

What's the matter? You don't think the 70 FBI investigations mentioned in the PDB were enough? Duh.

Keep diggin, Shooter. Investigations are only as good as the action taken as a result of them.

Bush took none.

In this election cycle, Independents think- “With so many advantages, will the stupid Democrats find a way to clutch defeat from victory?”

GMTA. Not 2 hours ago I was speaking to a friend and mentioned that Democrats need to learn how to win. We're so used to losing, that even when victory is in sight, that victory won't be enough to satisfy some people.

In baseball, if you win by one run or twenty runs, it still counts the same. You still must go out and play the game the next day and win again, and again, and again, in order to get to the World Series....and then you have to win some more.

Politics is very similar. Unless one wins, even if it's only by a single run, one cannot advance to the World Series.

The machine that currently runs Washington wasn't built in a day and it damned sure won't be replaced in a day. Fact is, it will probably take longer than most of us here on this board will live to see.

It will happen, however, and the only thing that can stop it from happening is that people give up. Moses never made it to the Promised Land either.

Who is we? The "free thinking" herd of Obama Apologists?

"You people are so cool. how can I be a sell-out closet republcain like you?

Closet Republican? Wouldn't that imply that I am pretending to be, am, is, or was, a Democrat? Or that I support the Democratic Party? Or that I even support Democracy? Or that I was foolish enough to believe that the Democrats were an "Antiwar Party", in 2006 for example, and not just "Antiwar Enough", like some of the regular posters describe the Democratic Leadership (i.e. Pelosi)?

-- Chris Sinnard "

I hear that. I was pumped with the sweep that happened in 06. BEFORE OBAMA WAS A CONTENDER. I too thought it would signify a change. What has the dem's done since? Did THEY do anything they said they were going to do? If so what? Pelosi was weak. Reid was a sell-out republcain mormon. Hoyer? Clinton? Di fi? Rockafeller?

nothing but sell-outs. WHo fought for us then? Obama did, and continues. One issue is not a sell-out. obama risks everything. he is change. He has fought teh gop when the above, clinton included, did nothing. I'm not sellin ghim out over an issue.

I am for enforcement of illegal immagration policies. He is not. do I whine and cry like an infant? No. I am for shuting down propoganda for profit conflict of interests, like fox rush and hannity. Obama is not. Do I whine and cry? No.

What is yoru alternative? Do you have one? I have to assume you are closet republcains, do I not?

I know you people are stringing me along. just to liven up the thread. Hoping greenwald bans me. That is why every post is about me and my opinion. I know your game. The thing is, I don't care. I don't blog for you meat puppet propogandists. I blog for those reading to scared to post, because they don't want to be put on a watch list. I blog for pat tillman, and other progressive soldiers silencd by nazi's. You think banning me from this site scares me? You think peanut gallery mocking scares me?

I have two children. I blog for their future. Your peanut gallery mocking does not scare me. I will combat you cowards all day if you choose. just know, the only power you have over me is the power I give me. you cannot silence me. I can only silence myself. I will not give you cowards that power. giggle like elementary school girls, because you got someone's ire up. Congradulations. Just know you ar eno differant than those I have been fighting for years, now.

I do not fear what you got. Any independant thinkers here see yoru coward faces. Ignor eme if you choose. Mock if you choose. Sell-out if you choose. fight for mccain if you choose. just knwo you cannot beat me. Impossible. You cannot beat truth with lies and heresay. It is not possible. All you can do is surrond yoruselves with like minded fools. Surronding oneself with insane people does not make one saner. Creating safe false realities,w hile disregarding the real reality, is the definition of a crazy person? I do not bow or give credibilty to crazy people. Aka smith knows what I'm tal;king about. Get back on yoru med's clinton propogandists. She lost. accept it. Unless you have an alternative, take yoru heat tot eh gop where it belongs.
