Remember a couple of years ago when Rumsfeld was asked by a active soldier in Iraq how come they didn’t have armor? How about all the times we have heard parents of troops saying they have to send money to our troops to buy armor and the Pentagon not wanting to reimburse them, or even […]

Nancy Pelosi gave a great speech today on the House floor, stating why Bush’s surge should be stopped. The Huffington Post has the transcript up. The vote is coming soon on this resolution and it will pass. It has been frustrating watching it. The Republican’s talking points have been such: If we leave Iraq today, tomorrow […]
Oh this is a very nice move by Harry Reid: “For nearly four years, the Republican-controlled Senate stood silent on the President’s flawed Iraq policies and watched as the situation deteriorated into a civil war. The American people have chosen to change course. Democrats have chosen to change course. Unfortunately, Senate Republicans have chosen obstruction. […]
The House Republicans don’t want to talk about the war. Their defensive play of the week is to avoid the Iraq debate going on in the House.

Funny how the same party that argued “if people can’t survive on minimum wage, they need to work more” is bitching like a bunch of children about having to work a full 5 day week. The Politico has an article up with such quotes as this: “They should really work us so we get things […]
They don’t even think our troops deserve a couple hours of their time on the Senate floor. Why? To protect the most hated President in the history of the United States. This should mean a new war if the Democrats care about Iraq. Throw the “bi-partisan” bullshit out the window. The Democrats are in power […]
That is what this is all about: China faced a barrage of international condemnation from London to Canberra yesterday after it was revealed that it had launched a missile attack on an ageing weather satellite, a test that threatened to open a “Star Wars” space race. Formal protests were lodged with the Beijing government, accompanied […]
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is now taking his first steps towards a White House run. This is another great candidate. Just sitting here thinking about everyone running now, the Democrats sure have a melting pot of candidates (Mexican, Black, woman). The Republican’s sure have – well the typical white Christian men running.
All the arguments last year over the warrentless wiretapping, and all the spin by wingnuts to say it is legal has now come to an end: President George W. Bush has decided not to reauthorize the controversial domestic warrantless surveillance program for terrorism suspects and to put it under the authority of a secret special […]
