And yes I am talking about the Democrats: After weeks of tough talk, Democrats appear resigned to back down again on providing money for the Iraq war. What happened? “Republicans, Republicans, Republicans,” said Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. “The real problem here is the president and his Republican backers” who […]
That is exactly what war monger in chief Bush said today. Let’s look at that logic from our President, and applying it to other countries. Germany – They could let Nazis take back over the country Russia – They could restart the cold war UK – They could try to put us back under their […]
When our Congress lets someone act like a king long enough, then they start thinking they are one: The Bush administration is losing patience with Gordon Brown over Iran, with senior American diplomats frustrated by his reluctance to declare bluntly that the Islamic state must never be allowed nuclear weapons. Hey Bush – perhaps they […]
Worse President Ever! Meanwhile, Bush reached an unwelcome record. By 64%-31%, Americans disapprove of the job he is doing. For the first time in the history of the Gallup Poll, 50% say they “strongly disapprove” of the president. Richard Nixon had reached the previous high, 48%, just before an impeachment inquiry was launched in 1974. […]
The wingnut attacks on Graeme Frost are getting ridiculous. It turns out that Malkin isn’t the only one harassing the family now, according to ABC: According to Senate Democratic aides, some bloggers have made repeated phone calls to the home of 12-year-old Graeme Frost, demanding information about his family’s private life. On Monday, a spokesman […]

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 […]
Of course the right will jump on this and say that “oh yeah -the looney left thinks Bush did something to make that bridge collapse”. Well they are right and he has. He has ignored our nation’s infrastructure during his entire presidency and now that neglect is becoming obvious. Harry Reid even gets it on […]
Of course the two deserting Bush now are John Doolittle and Pete Domenici, two people facing tough re-elections as well as investigations into their own backgrounds. While the media is talking about this recent rash of desertion by warhawk Republicans, the Democratic leadership is wondering if they will put up or shut-up. Nancy Pelosi had […]
You got to love how diplomatic this White House is. Here is what they have said today about the military supplemental bill: President Bush on Tuesday invited Democrats to discuss their standoff over a war-spending bill, but he made clear he would not change his position opposing troop withdrawals. The White House bluntly said the […]
David Rhodes claim that the Nevada Democratic Caucus caved to pressure from MoveOn and the netroots is just plain wrong. Harry Reid and Tom Collins have released the letter they sent to FOX regarding the decision. TPMCafe has the full letter, but here is the money quote: To say the least, this was not a […]
