While I agree this congress is aweful and needs to be held accountavle, I don’t think that will save us from the rest of them and what they have in store for us.

Wakr up America and do the research before it’s too late.
PLEASE!!!

It’s clear that Hastert is DeLay’s bird dog, making it clear that he going to try to give DeLay one last shot to hold on to his leadership post, making it more important than doing his job for the American people. There are tons of important issues this Congress has to deal with and right now (to me, that it) is dealing with the USA Patriot Act. The version of the USA PATRIOT Act reauthorization reported by the House and Senate conference committee is a disaster! It leaves much of the legislation’s worst provisions intact: If enacted, the Justice Department will retain the authority to investigate American citizens without judicial oversight; the government will still be able to search individuals’ private property without notifying them; and authorities will still be able to search citizens’ library records, medical records, school records, and financial records virtually unchecked by the judiciary. This bill must be stop through any means, including a filibuster. House and Senate negotiators have struck a deal on reauthorizing the USA PATRIOT Act, leaving many of the bill’s worst provisions intact. Before leaving for recess, several senators were threatening to filibuster this legislation if it contained these provisions. Don’t let the USA PATRIOT Act get away with a thing. Let’s call and support these and all senators to go all the way to fight for our civil liberties! Tell your senators to filibuster the USA PATRIOT Act as soon as possible.

Why is it that Americans have not erupted into riotous anger over the Bush Administration’s abuse?

Think of it — 1776, The dual French Revolutions, 1917 Russia, The Boxers, Mau Mau, Vietnam, Algeria, all for roughly the same reason. The rich bastards who run things periodically push too far and get killed. Why not here?

Now don’t get me wrong. I advocate no violence. Still, historically, most revolutions have occured for lesser reasons. Even our own rebellion against the Crown was provoked by less (Tea taxes — they must have been Republicans).

I’m beginning to think Americans are just too stupid and self-absorbed to really care.
“Oh, watching it just makes me mad. Let’s talk about something else.”

Proud to be an American?
Stuff it.

Hastert has scheduled the first House session of 2006 for Jan. 31 — after a holiday break of more than a month, and two weeks after senators are due to return to Washington.

hmmmm… and these are the same folks (re-thug-licans) that went absolutely fu**ing ballistic (”Dems precventing congress from doing the people’s business/work… blahblahblah”) when (Give ‘Em Hell) Harry Reid shut down the Senate for (just) a couple of hours.

is ANYBODY ‘really’ listening/watching?!

A-MAZ-ING

The high cost of Freedom (for US taxpayers) in Iraq.

how about this:
my personal shame, my birthday is the same day as toad delay. AAAAARGH!

the man is a jackass. he even stole my birthday.
what an assholier-than-thou he is.

moreover, democrats would have had to be complicit in this bit of pocket-stuffing in a vote that passed by an overwhelming 392-31. my guess is democrats are wagering the pay raise question is, as it always has been, a non-issue.

certainly there is something to the argument that we’re still not getting our money’s worth, though! And furthermore, the timing of this pay raise is horrible.

we should stick to the ridiculous lobbying situation and how some rep’s are bought and paid for. the point is that our elections are bought and sold on a market where lobbyists are the stocktraders, legislators (and their votes) are the stock, and corporations, unions and lobbies are the stockholders.

a $3100 pay raise is chump change when a lobbyist can fill election coffers to the tune of several times that amount in any given week.
