This war could have been won years ago if the military were permitted to do their job as they know how. More people are murdered in our nations capitol than military people in combat in Iraq.

Your grandstanding in the senate committee was ludicrous.

today, my wife needed to have allergy tests. we called the health insurance people. they intimated that if she had basically anything equivalent to a sniffle in her medical records, there was no coverage, as it was a pre-existing condition (they offer no information on just how far back through your records they will go). we had to cancel, not enough money.

Ummm, the Constitution was written around the 1780’s, the Old Testament was written around 4,000 years ago so using King George’s convoluted thinking I guess that means these things are outdated and no longer valid in todays world.

“This idea or slogan of ’staying the course’ is not a policy,” Hagel told me. “It’s not a program. It’s not an exit strategy. It’s nothing — other than this mindless stumbling along saying, ‘We’ll get there. We’ll get there.’ We heard that in Vietnam.”

A: I have been accused of being disloyal to my president and the party, but I have reminded my colleagues that war should never be a partisan issue. Democrats and Republicans both die in war. War is the most important issue anyone in Congress will ever have to deal with. We should never, ever take a back seat on this. Every elected official swears an oath to the Constitution, not to a party, or to the president, or to any other partisan political interest.

…Of course you also had an emphasis on protecting Afrikaner Culture, and the Dutch Reform Church to go with it. Even the same tactics and the same lies, the same control of the press and vilification of any who question it…

Bruce,

This is the kind of racist, facist, right wing, inbred scum that sh*theads like Jack “Crack” worships and defends…

Puny Hermaphrodite,

Time to change that pad, it HAS been months…

An aside – I have not seen any kudos expressed here for the inspired stance of Sens. Kennedy and Kerry and their filibuster efforts. This morning, listening to the “moral giant” discuss women’s issues and the rights of the disabled, I thought perhaps some of our esteemed Senators could propel another group of preyed upon people to the forefront of the despicably treated – young, blonde women.

TO: WE THE PEOPLE
Both you and I are fully aware that what we are witnessing before our country, is possibly the largest power grab that American history will attest to. The volume of books are already into their second printing, and the future of Rove, Rumsfeld, and all of the like, will be dependent on their soon to be Doubleday@ contracts. History will be replete with the testimony of this power grab from the predictions of the perdition in the new American Democracy.

So lets examine their works. The volumes that which they will be speaking of. This power grab of the millennia.

The Art of Deception: A book that can be attributed to being the bible of the RNC.

I have an idea. Possibly so Machiavellian in nature, that the RNC won’t even see it coming, and they might possibly walk away thanking the us.

In the Art of Deception, one learns the power attributed to being capable of manipulating one’s opponents into doing your bidding. Evil indeed, yet almost necessarily so. A taste of their own medicine.

As a whole, the DNC may be fractured and the American public is being sold a bill of goods from the RNC; that Humpty Dumpty can never be but back together again. More fairy tales from the spin masters. So if Humpty Dumpty is broken, then Humpty Dumpty needs the Kings horses and men to do some healing.

TO: CONGRESS
The president all but has thumbed his nose at Congress as a whole. The Legislative Branch. He has stated, equivocally, that he turned down an invitation by Congress to allow them to assist him in crafting the necessary laws and amendments to the FISA laws back in 2002, and in 2003. And has reinforced his unyielding position to Congress’ Constitutionally mandated job description to be the sole craftsmanship of law for the land.

Rise up Congress. You’re president dismissed you. His words smack of his arrogance. Take back your jobs and legislate.

RNC, DNC, Green Party and Independent. One and all, your president’s nebulous words spoken to the US populace have left more scratching their heads than following in suit. There is something a foot and America’s chagrin needs to be comforted, not ignored and lulled into submission.

Stand up Congress, and take your jobs back. It was our Founders express mandate that there be three EQUAL branches. One not to be more than another.

Executive, Legislative, Judiciary. Three equal branches, that if left unchecked will lead to the corruptive downward spiral of the Democracy that our Founding Fathers created for us.

The president dismissed the necessity to go to the FISA court because of the antiquation of the laws, as he would have you to believe. But that begs the bigger question. Why not let Congress assist the president in the craftsmanship of new FISA laws that ARE inclusive of the 21st century technologies? The absurdity of the president’s response all but begs for a subpoena from the DOJ as his recusal toward any necessity of explanation to his concept and legality rests only in National Security.

Be heard Congress. The silence beset upon the Democratic party that which is parlayed in the media, is infesting the integrity of Democracy its self. RNC, DNC, Green Party and Independent alike. Your president has made clear, that he will resist any attempt at including Congress in the craftsmanship of necessary law to make what he is doing, legal in the eyes of the court.

Something is a foot. And it is trampling upon Congress’ Constitutional job description. It is riping at the integrity of American values. And Congress needs to address the elephant in the room. With pole numbers bottoming out for both the RNC and the DNC members of Congress and a midterm elections at the door step, how can Congress sit there and take this? The lack of voter confidence, and the summarily dismissal by the president, all but shows that Congress needs to rise up and take their jobs back.

Show the voters what integrity looks like. Three equal branches that follow Constitutional law and implore a sense of checks and balances.

Rise up. Stand up. Be heard.

Congress is needed as mandated by WE THE PEOPLE through our Bill of Rights.

Apartheid South Africa.

Same view of the law, by the same idiots spouting much the same shit really. First it was die swart gevar, then die rooi gevar and always die Engelse duyvels. Of course you also had an emphasis on protecting Afrikaner Culture, and the Dutch Reform Church to go with it. Even the same tactics and the same lies, the same control of the press and vilification of any who question it.

The reason for why American politics currently interest me? Well apart from the fact that America’s economy has a nasty habit of destroying everbody elses when it crashes, your nation is following mine rather then vice versa. You even have the Northerners effectively being turned into guests in their own country, much like the English Speaking South Africans.
