		<description>This just in from the AP (Amalgamated Press): 

 WASHINGTON -- August 8, 2007 -- FBI Director Robert Mueller today announced the establishment of a new Federal Bureau of Investigation program called &quot;SCROD,&quot; -- Secret Commission Reporting on Democrats.&quot; 
     According to Muller, &quot;This special commission is the result of the Democratic Congress passing new FISA legislation which holds us accountable for absolutely nothing we may or may not do which may previsously have been deemed illegal.&quot; 
     Mueller did not rule out the possibility the program could be enlarged to include not just Democrats but all Americans considered unpatriotic or disloyal to the Bush regime. 
     Mueller said the additional program -- called &quot;SCREWED&quot; -- Secret Commission Reporting an Everyone We Establish as Disloyal -- will permit extensive warrantless phone taps, reading private emails, checking bank accounts for political donations to the wrong party, and detaining &quot;...anyone we determine who might stand in the way of the God-fearing Bush Administration from retaining the power of the Almighty in 2008,&quot; he added.
     Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that they are thinking of sending a &quot;strongly-worded&quot; letter to someone decrying the move. According to Pelosi, &quot;We&#039;ll monitor the situation for six months and then introduce legislation -- of some sort.&quot; 
     Quizzed by reporters as to the effect on the Democratic Party&#039;s base, Reid stated, &quot;We just want to do what is right for America and the Administration, pretty much giving them anything they want as long as we can get out of town for August.&quot;
    Sources at the White House reported seeing Karl Rove prancing around his office singing &quot;I&#039;m Just Wild About Harry...&quot;</description>

		<description>It&#039;s official.  I&#039;m punching out.  I am done with the Democratic party.  It is clear to me that the promises made by the jackass party prior to the &#039;06 elections were nothing but lies...a sham, if you will.  Never have I seen such a spineless majority.  All the crooks in the legislative and executive branches are interested in one thing - THEMSELVES.  Independent status, here I come!!!  Hopefully someone, somewhere with a true progressive policy concept and a backbone will come along.</description>

		<description>Well that&#039;s a great analogy. Our thugs are better than your thugs cause we started a war we&#039;re losing and you can&#039;t stop it. We created a National debt that your great grandchildren can&#039;t pay off and you didn&#039;t solve it. We like to torture people and you allow us to keep doing it. And the really good one. Our thugs and your thugs have ignored the Nations infrastructure that puts us all at risk. So now common, just vote for us. We start all the catastrophies you can&#039;t stop. So get out in front, come help us destroy America first!</description>

		<description>So dear democrats please tell me what your leaders have accomplished for you? The war has been expanded under them, and all of the heinous legislation you guys hate (like wiretapping) has been signed off on by them. Wow, they really know how to stand up to Bush! You guys were played. They haven&#039;t done a single thing. They are too stupid to. They&#039;re afraid to stand up to a president 70% of America disagrees with. You have to admit, at least Republicans took on Clinton in the 90s and had the guts to do it and Clinton&#039;s approval ratings were nowhere as low as Bush&#039;s.</description>

		<description>Although I wish John and Nancy luck in this endeavor, to me it seems that, given the Repulsive Repukes, who speak with a singular voice along with the turncoat Dems (aka wannabe Nazis), putting toothpaste back into the tube would be infinitely easier.

Although I&#039;ve been a staunch Democrat for many years (for lack of a better and electable alternative), I&#039;m just waiting for the next phone call asking me to contribute money.  I will advise the caller that I have nothing against them, but very clearly convey that I am no longer willing to financially contribute to the continued destruction of our country.

Although the rhetoric by the Dems and Repukes sounds different, the results seem to be the same.  Why would this be?  Both sides are owned by their large corporate benefactors and must follow a strict, narrowly prescribed agenda or risk having their allowance permanently terminated.

If there was  a viable third party who could speak to the truth, financed only by individuals and not owned by corporate benefactors, the climate would most likely be ripe for such a party to achieve record gains in 2008.</description>

		<description>Cindy Sheehan is devisive.  She&#039;s passionate and a powerful voice, but not the right choice.  We need decisive leadership.  Losing your son in Iraq is tragic, but it does not qualify one for a position of leadership.

We are in dire straights.  We need informed, tactical leadership.

Cindy plucks at our heart strings . . .she also has shown poor judgment.  We cannot afford poor judgment.

Barak would be best.  Hillary would be better than Sheehan.  Edwards might be our best hope of an electable candidate.  With Obama as VP, we might be able to hold office for the next four terms.  Get real.</description>

		<description>Well next time you get a call from a candidate or a political 

organization just say no until they do what the base wants! 

What, did they read it after it was approved? And had a moment of &quot;oh my G*d&quot; what did I do? 

As a child and young adult and now a wise adult, my mother always said, read it before you put your signature on it! Don&#039;t ask someone else to do the reading for you...You need to read it yourself! 

Well, congress you will too be out of a job not because of votes but because of the chipping of the Constitution. 

What will you do then! do what the rest of us have been screaming about and falling on deaf ears! You will join the rest of America in the food-housing line! See you there!</description>

		<description>Perhaps the solution is to send Bush, Cheney and Gonzo on vacation to Gitmo, lock them in a cell, wheel in a kegger and a waterboard.  After a few beers, dubya will convince Gonzo to test drive the waterboard, Cheney will provide technical advice.  fun, fun, fun, &quot;it won&#039;t hurt Gonzo- not torture, just good clean fun!&quot;  When things really get hoppin&#039; Gonzo escapes, but is none to happy.  He retrieves his Tsar and zaps Cheney . . . who it turns out has no heart after all.  Tsar explodes in his hand.  Bush roils in giggles.  Heee!  Bush wants a little China white.  Doesn&#039;t anybody in this joint got a little blow?  What good are Afghani&#039;s if they got no white?  Oh yeah.  They&#039;re not Chinese.  Oh yeah.  They&#039;re Iraqi.  Dammit Laura.  This is no vacation.  I wanna go home.  Let me out!  I got rights!  I&#039;m an American citizen . . .</description>
