whew! what a day…!
and, Congratulations Rep. Ellen Tauscher!

Rep. Tauscher casts key votes before leaving House
3 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Ellen Tauscher made it a memorable last day in Congress. The California Democrat wielded the gavel during debate Friday, gave an Academy Award-length “thank you address” to the chamber and was casting what could be one of the more important votes of her 13-year congressional career.

The Senate on Thursday confirmed Tauscher, who represents the San Francisco suburbs, as undersecretary of state for arms control and international security.

In an emotional speech on the House floor, she said she had told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, R-Calif., that she would resign when votes ended Friday.

That meant she could make a critical vote in favor of a Democratic bill to curb global warming and promote cleaner energy. With the Democratic leadership scrambling to come up with a winning margin, Tauscher’s vote was essential.

She also told colleagues that on Saturday, she was getting married. “It’s hard to be a blushing bride at my age, but I’ll do my best,” the 57-year-old said.

I would NEVER support a new Constitutional convention.

The CorpoRats/Pukes/Christers/PNAC would OWN it. It would be a national Prop 8 fiasco.

Periodically, one of the top law schools dispatches its first year students to solicit signatures for a new constitution…which is identical to the old one…but which typically your basic “person-on-the-street” Murkin moron says they would reject.

Kyl is no longer holding up the nomination… Kyl’s office did not respond to inquiries from ThinkProgress asking why Kyl lifted the hold.

I hear skeletons rattling in a certain someone’s closet…

the swamp needs to be drained

of all

demos repubs and all

the consitition needs rewritten

we treat the consitution like a bible

term limits for congress etc

send all lobbyists to cuba to work in sugar fields

wash is corrupt to the core

the system of reelections demands corruption as the demands for money are great

change the system change america

changing the players in the system and expecting real change is foolish at best and ignorance at worst

how few in the world understand the system’s influence on human behavior

capitalism breeds inperialism and individualism

imperialism and individualism will always self destruct

we are witness to that self destruction now and all we do is blame people ie individuals

this is an example of individualism in action

700 military bases around the world and two unwinnable wars are examples of imperialism in action.

the industrial military complex loves these unwinnable wars. $$$$$$$$$$$

Republicans Love Facts Says: He shouldn’t answer to tp

“No government ought to be without censors, and where the press is free, no one ever will. If virtuous, it need not fear the fair operation of attack and defence. Nature has given to man no other means of sifting out the truth whether in religion, law or politics. I think it as honorable to the government neither to know nor notice its sycophants or censors, as it would be undignified and criminal to pamper the former and persecute the latter.” –Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1792.

. Call it what it is…self-serving greedy political fat-cats abusing their positions over the economic needs of the Nation.

it’s a result of the militarization of th economy. There are ‘defense’ jobs by the score in every congressional district in the country.

No Congresscritter waqnts to be in the position of beiing accused by an unscrupulous (gasp) opponent of “losing jobs” in the District, in a primary or a general election.

These are the same guys who will tell you with a straight face that Govt jobs don’t create wealth.

It is possible that they are anosognosiac enough to believe their own press clippings about the jobs they bring to their districts.

Why should he?

The better question is why didn’t he?

Isn’t he man enough to take responsibility for his actions, or was he afraid he would embarrass himself by once again cry like a baby.

Speaking of repiggie sleaze, here is a link about Roy Blunt, a repiggie congressman from Missouri, and his own tawdry adulterous affair with the woman to whom he is now married. This guy is another sounding brass and tinkling cymbal of the “defense of the sanctity of traditional marriage” collection of lowlifes.

These temporary “posturing” holds in order to play to “the base” are anti-American and anti-democratic; especially in a time when the country needs its government to be fully functioning.

Despite their rhetoric, Republicans seem to prefer the order of their decision-making to be: Greed first, then party affiliation, and then their religious beliefs, and finally country. Disgraceful, anti-democratic, and obstructionist.

Another Pulitzer winning article brought to you by the Democratic party and Soros funded CAP zombies. More like a Putzer prize winner.

The burden of proof is on you, the accuser, wingnut. Give us an example of when TP has ever resorted to republican/conservative/FAUX Noise tactics and altered facts to please the readers. That is what the alternate reality of FAUX is all about. Unlike you I am pasting a link to prove my statement.
