He keeps telling us how important FISA is to our national security, yet if he doesn’t get exactly what he wants then he will veto it – rather it expires or not. Now the question is if Harry Reid will have the balls to try him on it. It’s time to call Bush’s bluff on […]
All year we complained how Harry Reid let the Republicans get by with countless “silent” filibusters. Now he is actually making a filibuster actually take place. Sound good? [I]f people think they are going to talk this to death, we are going to be in here all night. This is not something we are going […]
Take note Harry Reid -this is how leadership should look. Chris Dodd will once again do everything he can to block the flawed FISA bill. Tim Tagaris has all the details. I really like the sound of “Majority Leader Dodd”.
It is far beyond time for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to go. They are a joke as leaders. Here is their latest caving to the administration: Senior Democrats have decided that holding a controversial vote on the contempt citations, which have already been approved by the House Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation […]
It happened during the 2006 election when Soloman was going after Harry Reid on a daily basis. We said he was nothing but a right-wing shill. Of course his defenders thought we were just being the “looney left”. Well the ultra right-wing Washington Times has a new executive editor, and guess who it is? John […]

Bill Clinton was in the White House and […]
Harry Reid has pulled the FISA bill until the first of the year. It was great to see Chris Dodd stand up for the rule of law today and put an end to this pampering George Bush has received under this Democratic Congress. It’s also worth mentioning that Chris Dodd was the only presidential candidate […]
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 […]
The Soviet Union isn’t gone – it has just moved to America: The N.S.A.’s reliance on telecommunications companies is broader and deeper than ever before, according to government and industry officials, yet that alliance is strained by legal worries and the fear of public exposure. To detect narcotics trafficking, for example, the government has been […]
I mean they are suffering so much. Last year they only made mere billions in profit: Senate Republicans blocked a broad energy bill Thursday because it included billions of dollars in new taxes on the biggest oil companies. Democratic leaders fell one vote short, 59-40, in getting the 60 votes needed to overcome a GOP […]
