As all have probably heard by now, Russ Feingold said he is introducing resolutions to censure Bush and Cheney. That is a great move, even though it isn’t impeachment. Still, let’s see how the AP reports this: Liberal Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold said Sunday he wants Congress to censure President Bush for his management of […]
Huckabee was just praising Reagan for the “defeat of the Soviet Union” and then immediately talked about how we must defeat the Taliban. Interesting point. True when Reagan was “defeating the Soviet Union”, he was using the Taliban to help. These people really need some lessons in history. UPDATE: Aravosis gives Huckabee a little lesson […]
More very damaging reports coming out. This brings us back to the whole wiretapping issue, and it appears the FBI may have broken the law.

Yesterday Bush said he was seeing “remarkable progress” in Iraq because of his surge. Yeah – remarkable progress on the day 9 U.S. soldiers were killed along, with over 140 Iraqi’s.

Lying to get us into war is no problem. Executing a war in such a poor fashion is no problem. Violating the civil rights of millions of Americans – ehh it’s ok. Violating the Constitution by vigorous use of “signing statements” – well they will give him a pass. All that doesn’t matter, but immigration […]
Kos had this interesting tidbit yesterday: In an interview, Pelosi also said she was puzzled by what she considered the president’s minimalist explanation for his confidence in the new surge of 21,500 U.S. troops that he has presented as the crux of a new “way forward” for U.S. forces in Iraq. “He’s tried this two […]
It is being reported that Bush will call for an additional 20,000 troops tonight, but opposition to his plan is growing fast on the right side of the aisle: Democratic leaders said Tuesday that they intended to hold symbolic votes in the House and Senate on President Bush’s plan to send more troops to Baghdad, […]
And a new story has emerged that he MUST answer for: President Bush has quietly claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans’ mail without a judge’s warrant, the Daily News has learned.
