Think back to the surge debate last month. The Republicans took to the floor of the House and stood tight with talking points in hand. They had their little “war” room set-up to counter any Democratic argument and acted like they knew all the inside mumblings of the execution of the surge. One of those […]
CNN just reported that White House spokesperson, Dana Perino, was asked about Harry Reid’s statement. She quickly turned it around to say that the “Democrats will use this for politics”. I guess it was fine and dandy for the Republicans to use a blow job for politics in the Clinton years, but when it comes […]
Cheney made a surprise visit to Pakistan to tell them to get tough on al Qaeda. What is interesting is exactly what he said to them: Vice President Dick Cheney made an unannounced trip to Pakistan on Monday to deliver what officials in Washington described as an unusually tough message to Gen. Pervez Musharraf of […]
And by terrorist #1 I mean Joe Lieberman. He is trying to hijack the Democrat’s majority by threatening to switch sides if the Democrats try to restrict funds to the war. Well the Democratic leadership in the Senate is going a step further. They are now working on legislation to re-examine the 2002 authorization to […]
British troops are starting to leave and Denmark is joining them. Amazing that this is happening while we are increasing our presence there. The other amazing thing is that Blair announced a “timetable”. I guess he wants to embolden the enemy. Will the Republicans and Bush call him a “cut and runner”?
TPM has this statement from the NRCC about one of their contributors being indicted on charges of funding terrorism: We are extremely concerned and disturbed by these charges but we need to be careful not to rush to judgment as the judicial process moves forward. If the individual in question is actually found guilty of […]

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 […]
They keep attributing a quote to Lincoln that was not even his- “Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged.”. Here is Rep. Don Young (R-AK) using it on the House floor yesterday. The problem is Lincoln never said that. […]
During the House debate on the Iraq Resolution, Heather Wilson (R-NM) started following the old GOP meme that the Democrats are cutting funding to the troops. She even said that the resolution will prevent the troops from getting the necessary body armor. Steny Hoyer has had enough. Following Wilson’s remarks he came to the floor […]
