Chris Dodd is standing up for the rule of law today and is going to filibuster the bill giving telecom companies immunity in illegal wiretapping. He is looking for questions to address during his time on the floor, and you can help by going here and submitting some. It’s pretty sad that the Republicans don’t […]
Just like we went through here in Ohio last year, now our neighbor to the south kicks out their corrupt Republican Governor: Democrat Steve Beshear harnessed voter frustration over ethics and Gov. Ernie Fletcher’s 2005 pardons of his aides to unseat the Republican incumbent. Beshear, a former lieutenant governor and attorney general, also completed an […]
Because cronyism and profits always trumps life and pure ethics: The private security firm Blackwater USA, which has faced mounting criticism following an incident earlier this month in which armed guards from the group purportedly killed 11 unarmed Iraqi civilians, has numerous links to the White House as well as many current and former Republicans. […]
That’s exactly what this is: A small group of Republicans facing election fights next year have rallied around war legislation they think could unite the GOP: call for an end to U.S. combat in Iraq, but wait until President Bush is out of office. The legislation was deemed essentially a nonstarter by Democrats Friday and […]
And let them die in Iraq! That should be the new slogan of the GOP. They did another filibuster on Boxer’s resolution condemning any ad against military people (past or present), yet the measure condemning MoveOn’s ad passed. Considering the GOP blocks any measure that would help the troops as a whole, or even give […]
It’s amazing how much the wingnuts hate our country, and it’s basic freedoms. When a student gets tasered for asking a simple question at a political rally, or founding principal of free speech is in great peril. Take the popular wingnut Ace of Spades. He is quick to point out that this action happened because […]
Sounds more and more like it might just be talk. A lot of the reduction is happening because the administration has no option. Troops will have served their maximum required time by law, and Bush knows he can’t get that extended. As matter of fact, Jim Webb is still pushing his plan to get troops […]
Since my last post about the comment left at Maine Web Report calling for a terrorist attack at San Franciso, a lot has happened. I did similar posts atCrooks and Liars and Firedoglake. Markos also did a post on the comment. In walk Newsbusters. Now they are saying how wrong we are about it and that […]
Here we are more than a week later and guess what the media is still talking about? If you said Hillary’s cleavage then you are right. This whole debate over her cleavage has really shown the sexist side of the media. Perhaps the people in the media (and on the right who go on about […]
That is the tone being set by Republican presidential candidates: Four days after the Democrat’s ‘landmark’ YouTube debate in South Carolina, only Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) have agreed to participate in CNN’s next web-oriented debate. “Aside from those two candidates, we haven’t heard from anyone else,” Sam Feist of CNN […]
