“The privileged resolution has priority status for consideration on the House floor. Once introduced, the resolution has to be brought to the floor within two legislative days, although the House could act on it immediately. Kucinich is expected to bring it to the House floor on Tuesday, November 6.”

What a bombshell! Does this mean Pelosi can’t stop it from coming to a vote? And how glad do you think Clinton, Obama, Biden and Dodd are that they won’t have to vote on this one?!?

unfortunately foreclosures too keep ’surgin ahead’! here’s what one ‘liberal expert’ had to say: “Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has predicted that there would be more than 1 million foreclosures by the end of this year.” but fear not if you’re among those who’ve lost your home: some person hanging out at a taco bell in the middle of the desert says the economy is awesome!

“Despite this groundswell of opposition to the unconstitutional conduct of office, Vice President Cheney continues to violate the U.S. Constitution by insisting the power of the executive branch is supreme.
“Congress must hold the Vice President accountable. The American people need to let Members of Congress know how they feel about this. The Vice President continues to use his office to advocate for a continued occupation of Iraq and prod our nation into a belligerent stance against Iran. If the Vice President is successful, his actions will ensure decades of disastrous consequences.”

again, please run on that. you’ll do great.

my guess is that a lot of people are more concerned with this line:

Mortgage: _____ a year ago. _____ yesterday.

but if repubs want to point to the price of apples and say the economy’s awesome, please run on that. you’ll do great.

prehaps basing my opinions on what goes on in a single Taco Bell franchise would be a better strategy.

The lowest average unemployment rate achieved during the Clinton administration was 4.2 percent in 1999….Not significantly lower (.5 percent) than this months 4.7 percent.

Comment by Exley

If history began in 2001…

And the good little german in him couldn’t help believing it, even though this story was produced by “the liberal media.”

Perhaps you have to look at the context of when this liberal bias in media is happening. There is an election coming in one year. The republicans have not done a good job in the last 7 years. The republicans have very poor choices for their candidate (the dems aren’t much better off there). The republicans have shown more amoral behaviour lately. The republicans have shown a lack of upholding of the law. Is it any wonder that the media is being hostile to the republicans? Why have the media NOT been more hostile to the republicans in the last 7 years?

A good study would be to compare percentage of good/bad stories for the ruling party versus the other party one year before elections. Then maybe you will find something. The media has been far to nice to the Bush admin and the republicans.

who could’ve ever expected that a bunch of old, out-of-touch men who trip over each other in their efforts to praise perpetual war in iraq, torture, and eavesdropping on americans would get bad press?

Not cutting and running. I am just not disputing you. I am hardly an expert on economics (It doesn’t really interest me all that much). I simply posted an article that called the job-growth strong and noted that the current 4.7 unemployment rate is considered historically low.

I do not doubt the veracity of your statement that job growth was stronger during most of the Clinton administration. You are most likely correct. I bow to your superior knowledge on that.

Still the fact is that October had stronger than expected jon growth and unemployment remains near historic lows.

Big O prefers the bogus fear alerts.

It t’was ever thus.

He’s yet to post something that isn’t immediately debunked.

I think he’s secretly (or given the topics he posts, not too secretly) a masochist.

Comment by Kucinich’s Alien Pal

Yeah, that’s why we’re the majority in both Houses.

Pathetic that the trolls can only cut and paste.

ANKARA, Turkey, Nov. 2 — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice came under pressure from Turkish officials upon her arrival here today to publicly blame Kurdish leaders in Iraq for the recent Kurdish rebel attacks on Turkish forces.
