As pow-wow mentioned (yesterday?), almost nothing of substance is decided in open debate anymore; it's all back room, all the time.
Yes, it was just yesterday.
Just like this secret vote on Lieberman. I linked it upthread, but I'm happy to link again at sig.
...on fire.
I don't mean to reach a finger out to your coatails, Holly. Especially since you have made it clear that I sort of piss you off, even though you most always agree with my sentiment. But, holy cow, you've been putting the wiggly worms to the test lately in a major way. And I just have to express my appreciation without adding to or subtracting from your points well made.
It's only 10:30 a.m. on the West Coast. Why have you already declared the Troll of the Day?
The day is still young. Keep an open mind. I'm sure somebody will rise to the challenge. Does anyone have Zoltan's e-mail?
What ondelette and Holly said.

Yahoo. Free Wood Pile. Best to read pow wow any day.
The plan is to go see a timberman, not Bill Timberman. ay!
I miss William Timberman. He has wings on the backbones.

The comments remind me:`Holy Joe go to St. Peter and woe.
Pete say"`Joe no live true. No lie, so go back to Capital Hell.
Joe lieberman was told:`get back to DC-bad news hell hole. heehaw. ho joe. boohoo-poor ho.
Pedinska wears Tufu in Duval St. bars?
Hush! The voles will be very upset if they find out I'm not taking them along.
What's a "Tufu"?
GC! - I will not come bare. Someone has been spreading partisan rumors about me. ;-}
I think a big part of the Democrats motivation to be bipartisan is that they naively think that, since they gave Bush pretty much everything he wanted, the Republicans will follow their lead and do the same for Obama. They clearly learned nothing from the Clinton years. The Republicans pay lip service to bipartisanship but I can assure you they are not going to roll over and play dead like the Democrats did under Bush.
Also, the Democrats fail to understand that one of their biggest weaknesses is the perception that they cave in too quickly and are therefore not to be trusted to defend the national interest. Given how they fail to even defend their own party against a turncoat like Lieberman, I can understand why this perception lingers. Ditching Lieberman would have sent a message to the electorate that the Democrats are no longer appeasers and it would have been a big positive for them.
The stench seeping from the infected wound of my political body cries out for remedy. But alas, there is NO HOPE because Congress no longer exists.
Boys and Girls, if we no longer have a Congress would somebody please tell me or give me a name for the government we now have? Anybody?
As many have pointed out, the Dems and Reps represent the two arms of the corporatist Republicrat Party. Both arms are locked in a fervent bipartisan embrace with their silent partner, the Likud Party.
As Senator Lieberman is the highest ranking elected official of the Likud Party, he naturally retains directorship of the USSA national security state apparatus, the Dept. of Homeland Security.
The second highest ranking elected official of the Likud Party, Rahm Emanuel, is himself an exemplar of bipartisanship. In addition to his birthright as a dual citizen of both Israel and the USSA, Emanuel has also served as Democrat Caucus Chairman of the Republicrat Party. He now assumes an executive leadership role as White House Chief of Staff of Commander-in-Chief-Elect Obama's incoming bipartistration.
the only difference is the Democrats try to hide it and the Republicans openly flaunt it.
"Exactly 28 years ago Monday, a little-known former governor of Georgia named Jimmy Carter polled just shy of 30 percent support in Iowa's precinct caucuses. He came in second, nine points behind ''uncommitted,'' but the national news media proclaimed him the clear winner of the year's first presidential nominating contest, if only because he had finished so far ahead of everyone else.
Now the networks' mobile newsrooms roll through the frigid streets, and Tom Brokaw takes a table at 801 Steak and Chop House, Des Moines's meatery of choice. And depending on your viewpoint, the Iowa caucuses have become either an established ornament of American democracy or an unrepresentative abomination, in which candidates can win by losing if they run a good race, or lose by winning if they perform below expectations."....from the NY Times.
"Carter's very public avowal of faith was a major factor in his presidential victory, said Geoffrey Layman, a political scientist at Vanderbilt University.
"The fact that he was a born-again Christian appealed to the white Southern Democrats, who had been leaving the party in national elections," Layman said. "He may have helped bring them back into the fold."
Carter's campaign also laid the foundation for the rise of the religious right in the early 1980s, Layman said.
"A lot of people would credit Carter's race with energizing evangelicals," he said. "He mobilized them back into politics, the first time they got excited about politics in quite some time.".....from CNN
At that time Jimmy Carter was a proud born again Southern Baptist now he has quit that church and spoken against it's intolerance.
The Democratic Party has succeeded in keeping the white house under religious control by sabotaging Hillary and anointing one of their own....Obama.
"I do not support gay marriage. Marriage has religious and social connotations, and I consider marriage to be between a man and a woman." (From the Human Rights Campaign's 2008 Presidential questionnaire) - Barack Hussein Obama
Wouldn't it be nice to have a president who put civil law above religious law?
That was yesterday's "No one in particular". Jebbie forgot to change the date so it automatically said November 18. I await today's Troll of the Day. Shooter seems to have decided to drop his troll self out of contention. Imagine how much of an opening that presents! Weedoggies! That's like having the Yankees of the fifties and sixties quiting the American league. Now anyone could win.
