This is is the exact thing a politician should buck their party for instead of waiting for an election result to decide how to act. No wonder only 14% of the people approve of this Republican Congress. How sad for America.

“Yes, I hear the wind of Revolution blowing but Desperate Housewives is on tonight and plus I have to be up early for work in the morning, so um…. maybe we can talk about this later?”

I hope you’re right — and I hope you’re wrong.

These are truly interesting times…

Now, years later, I am proved correct on all points.

So, I will go on record here and now with a few more predictions.

1. Voter turn-out in the coming election is going to surprise a lot of people.

2. If Democrats do not win outright control of Congress, they will at least be equal in number which will bring Cheney out of the White House a lot more often, distracting him from his shadow presidency and possibly giving the country some breathing room.

3. Regardless of the election results, we will remain in Iraq at near current levels through the entirety of 2007 and possibly 2008.

4. An emboldened Iran is going to become an even more important player in internal Iraqi matters with an eye toward annexation of at least a big portion of Iraq.

He should have gone bald gracefully. That says a lot about a man.

In New York, we have the same dilemma with Chuck Schumer. It seems that no weekend goes by without him getting his face on TV somewhere. I think he was on “Face the Nation” today. I suffer from some emotional insecurities myself, but come on, Chuck, it’s not like we’re going to think you resigned if we missed seeing you on TV one weekend.

You know, with all the news about politicians being bad these days, you’d think a politician would rather not be having his name mentioned on TV, at least until it’s safe to assume that when people hear your name, they aren’t reacting with, “Now what’s he done?”

Realizing the American people are prepared to throw them out the Retreaticans are cutting and running as fast as their tongues can carry them.

Talk about cowardice under fire.

That is democracy, not Jason’s cowardly and pathetic defintion…

Yet some individuals seek security, even a false sense of security, in a strong leader. Given a choice, they will live under a dictator for the sake of “security.”

And that is the definition of Jason Hendler…

Iraq under Saddam Hussein was secure. There was no insurgency, no internecine warfare.

And no revolution. If they weren’t upset about how they lived, who are we to change that?

And now Bush has the power of a dictator, thanks to the Military Commissions Act of 2006.

Bush = Saddam. Except that Bush has now killed more Iraqis, and Americans than Saddam.
