Ain’t that the truth, stealing ideas seems very common place for them.
George Allen Steals Durbin Amendment – Calls It His Own

guy must not dream at night, or maybe he always had pleasant dreams

now that the Dems control Congress, maybe he’ll understand terror is an emotion, not a political adversary, as not-so-happy dreams enter his sleep

but he’ll never admit it, or that he was wrong in how to define and pursue the fight against militants hiding behind islam

until the progressives frame the terms of the debate about key issues and tenets to oppose the basis of the enemy party, we will at best chip away at the edges and gain tiny insignificant victories such as the election is turning out to be.

simple things such as stating what terrorism is and how truly insignificant it is to the people of this country would be a good start, but, no one has the balls or the intellect or the significant stage to do so.

so, we sit here, swat at silly imbred trolls that pop up throughout the day, talk about bush’s poll numbers and the lies and deceptions at the perimeter, but, there is no significant depth or outrage, and worse yet, no action is taken…the ball is not pushed forward, and one day goes into the next and the enemy party continues to win, because they go unchallenged…

Can anybody show me a terrorist who hasn’t committed any crimes? Or even a wanna-be terrorist who hasn’t committed any crimes?

No? Then maybe we should just ensure that we’re properly funding the enforcement of our current laws and terrorism will stop. Instead of, you know, blowing $2B per week in a sand-trap.

Geez, for having England as our dearest ally (oops, I forgot Poland!) you’d think that we were completely ignorant of how they survived the threat of the IRA for so long…

BTW it is we, the consumers who want cheap oil, when has this administration ever gave a damn about regular people?

The contrast between the Iraq Study Group and the group of “Wise Men” who advised President Lyndon Johnson on Vietnam, after the Vietnam Tet offensive in early 1968, could hardly be starker. The Iraq group is touted as “bipartisan,” but this is the kiss of death. To be effective, such a group should be nonpartisan. Such was the group put together by presidential adviser Clark Clifford, at Johnson’s request, when Johnson could no longer avoid the conclusion that he had been badly advised by his generals and his always-up-beat inner circle.

There never can be a time when terrorism is just a nuisance. Our goal is not to reduce terror to some acceptable level. Our goal is to defeat terror, and with George Bush as President, that’s exactly what we will do.

when will this country begin answering these questions????

what did a terrorist ever do to the united states constitution? what did a terrorist do exactly to take away our civil rights? did a terrorist send 3000 american troops to die for cheaper oil? did a terrorist force the president of the united states to lie to congress? what is the name of the terrorist who leaked the identity of covert agents of the cia? what terrorist organization tortured prisoners in abu ghraib, guantanamo, and a dozen of other black sites? did a terrorist leave 45 million americans uninsured at the same time that the usa stock market reached record highs? what terrorist group is responsible for the deaths in new orleans? tell me which terrorist reinterpreted the geneva conventions as no other country has ever done since their draftings? and what terrorist organization ruined america’s standing in the world? which one ruined the concept of ‘rule of law’ in america? name the terrorist that pre-emptively invades, occupies, and murders in the name of democracy?? and, surely you can tell me which terrorists have taken a legal doctrine in existence since 1251 and with one swipe of his or her pen, removed it? oh, and which terrorist group can arrest, detain, torture, interrogate, shame, and threaten and even murder if they wish simply by terming that person an ‘enemy combatant’?

Examples:
creating the Dept of Homeland Security.
forming the 9/11 Commission.
nation-building.
firing “Brownie”.
firing Rumsfeld.

the day before the Election I received an ad about Abscram It pointed out Murtha was involved with it, but failed to say why he was NEVER convicted. The problem was when Murtha was in the room with the FBI agents acting as Arabs, he refused the offer of money and instead asked them to invest the money in his district. He was willing to vote for what the alleged Arabs wanted BUT refused the money. This is typical of Murtha he will do anything for his District. On the other hand Murtha will NOT accept a bribe.

As to abortion, Murtha reflects his District, he will be succeeded by a Anti-abortion Democrat for that is what the Majority of people of his district want. Anyway, are the Democrats promising to expand Abortion? The answer is NO. The Democrats are going to leave Abortion the way it is.

As to the Military, Murtha has connection among the Professionals in the Military, what I mean by the Professionals, I mean the people planning operations and seeing what is needed. These are the people who know how many men and supply we need to hold Iraq, but have been forced to keep quite under Bush. When Murtha said what he said about re-deployment, he was reflecting the views of these professionals. i.e. the Present US Army will be destroyed unless we pull out of Iraq. It is Vietnam II, the destruction of an Army by its deterioration do to fighting an unpopular war. Murtha supported the use of Force to overthrow Saddam, but given a choice between holding onto Iraq and saving the Army, Murtha will save the Army over oil.

What Pelosi wants and need is someone with respect in the Military Corps, and no one has more respect than Murtha. Murtha also knows how to BUY votes with earmarks, i.e. get people to vote for Democrats because the Democrats did something for them. The GOP has been doing the same for the last 14 years, and now Voters who Voted Democratic must be rewarded. Murtha will make sure they are for he is the master of Earmarks. Thus Murtha is a good Choice for Pelosi, for her perceived weakness on Defense and earmarks are compensated by Murtha. This gives the Democrats a Left – Right Punch and can keep the GOP off Balance for the next two years and help elect a Democrat for President.
