Bush tell the truth about Iraq
The media has to be tougher on the president's tendency
to dissemble about his policies, and then again when he's
caught -- especially when it comes to war.
by Brendan Nyhan
Excerpt:
Bush has been protected by his reputation
for honesty, the media's distaste for complex
policy issues and -- since Sept. 11 --
his status as a wartime president. As a result, the
administration has gotten a pass when it
has used deceptive, even dishonest arguments to
sell key pieces of its agenda, most notably
the tax cut and Bush's plan to create private
Social Security accounts. And even when
serious questions about its arguments have
been raised, the White House has dissembled
wildly rather than admit mistakes or mendacity.
From: John DP
Subject: A Few Election Thoughts
First of all, it is hysterical watching
the media and the white house spin the fact that this election
is a "mandate" for Bush. Or that
this election somehow conveys legitimacy to the unelected fraud.
Or that there is such a groundswell of
support for Mr. Bush that the Democrats need to get out
of the way. A total of 41,000 votes
would have swung the election another way.
In fact, only about 21% of registered voters
pulled the lever for the Repugnicans last Tuesday night.
Yes, the evil doers got more than we got,
but a broad mandate its not. Now on the topic of Bush's
masterful command of the campaign and how
the Republicans are such fabulous politicians, that too,
is bullshit. In each close Senate
race, the winners (Coleman, Talent, Chambliss and Allard) ran as
Democrats by blurring the line on significant
issues like Social Security PRIVATIZATION, while at
the same time used hateful slash and burn
negative advertising against their opponent.
Take a case in point with Saxby Chambliss
in Georgia. How a man who avoided military service
(Chambliss) successfully paint a man who
volunteered for duty in Viet Nam and who left three of his
limbs on the battlefield (Cleland) as soft
on national defense issues is beyond me. But obviously not
beyond the ignorant crackers in Georgia.
So the lesson of the election is if you are a Repugnican and
you want to win, run like a Democrat and
demonize your opponent. Its the Republican way.
Another lesson here is to NEVER go along
with Bush. Look at what he did to Jean Carnahan,
Cleland and others who supported him on
his tax cuts for the greedy. He came back into their states
and thumped their pink tu tu asses.
Some payback.
Why in the world would you trust the unelected
fraud on ANYTHING is beyond me.
And finally, the religiously insane kept
a pretty low profile during this election, but you can be sure
their agenda will get a strong hearing
up on Capital Hill. You do not see Jerry Falwall, Ralph Reed
and the other sanctimonious pricks threatening
to split and create a new party like Saint Ralph and
the Greens. They take their lumps
when they cannot have each and every thing on their agenda,
but they stick with the Repugnicans like
glue. We could take a lesson.

Wednesday morning, I read CNN.com in horror,
realizing that a single party had total control
of the government. I fully expect about
3 or 4 the Supreme Court Justices to retire now so that
they can be replaced by other conservative
justices with no resistance from Congress.
As the day wore on, I had time to think
about the situation. For one, I think the people really need
to see the results of having an unbalanced
government. When a single point of view gets its way,
the results are probably going to be very
bad. For another, I'm sick of that party's whining about
how they NEVER get their way.
Ok, boys, have at it. Let's see how good "your way" is for the country.

-- Conan
Subject: Last Tuesday
After Tuesday, I have become very afraid
for our country. The first thing that popped into
mind was "without anyone to keep Bush in
check, what is going to happen?"
Then I realized that no one has been keeping
Bush in check. Certainly, it's nice to keep his
ultraconservative judicial nominees from
being affirmed, but the democrats have not taken up
any strong issue. They let the PATRIOT
act pass without a fight, and they even approved
giving him the power to unilaterally strike
(read invade) Iraq. They haven't even tried to
pass corporate accountability laws!
Where is the Democratic leadership?
(They are under a table like Bernie Shaw
in Baghdad, wetting their pants and cowering
in fear that Karl Rove and VP Snarl might
not be pleased with their rate of ass-kissing.)
Hopefully, whoever emerges as the new Democratic
leader will have backbone. He or she
will press issues such as corporate accountability.
That person will not be a "yessir" to Bush
or any other republican, and that person
will stand up for what is right.
It is time for change. The Dems have nothing else to lose... it's time to fight.

In Search of the Silver Lining
Excerpt:
Now the Senate has no brakes. George W.
Bush Inc. owns all three branches of government
- as well as the Supreme Court. America
has become that truck plunging down Moosic Street
without any way of stopping. The only difference
is that the driver is smiling."
Excerpt:
More than 60% of the American public believes
Saddam Hussein was a co-conspirator in the attacks of 9-11,
despite the fact that the Central Intelligence
Agency had issued a report concluding that no connection existed.
A majority also believe that the so-called
"death tax" will apply to them, despite the fact that fewer than 2.5%
of Americans actually possess sufficient
net worth to be eligible. Most Americans believe that the recent
recession was caused by 9-11, despite the
fact that it began prior to the attack. Many Americans believe that
the deficits projected by the government
are unrelated to the tax cuts signed into law by Bush, although both the
CBO and the GAO have concluded that the
tax cuts will greatly exacerbate the problem.
Joe Conason's Journal
Excerpt:
That leadership does deserve blame for
this defeat. And there is an honorable tradition of demanding
accountability from those who are responsible.
Gephardt deserves credit for removing himself swiftly,
and let us hope that he doesn't nourish
too many illusions about his future. Tom Daschle should probably
be next, having made the worst use of his
best qualities during the past two years. He allowed himself and
his members to be battered ideologically
without fighting back until it was far too late; he resisted bad policy
without vociferously arguing the Democratic
case to the electorate. Quiet toughness is admirable, except
when the other side is shouting every day.
Subject: I've found my new Bible
For years it has been Al Franken's "Rush
Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot."
Today, however, I picked up "It's Still
the Economy, Stupid" by Paul Begala.
I'm already over halfway through it. It
is a MUST read for all Democrats.
Using clear, irrefutable logic and facts,
Begala goes over the Clinton Miracle
and shows just who Shrub is the worst thing
to happen since, well...his dad.

Subject: Gephardt
Dear Bart:
Gephardt is resigning from his leadership
position. I have never been one of his supporters
and I agree that he deserves a lot of the
blame for what happened Nov 5. Call me a bleeding heart,
but I actually feel some compassion for
him. He has always been an advocate for civil rights and
equality and I'm not about to forget that
just because I'm angry.
I think it's time to stop taking cheap shots
against him. He did the honorable thing in the end and
deserves some respect, at least from Democrats.
Please remove him from your hit-list.

Hector, I don't plan to publish Dick Gephardt - Lying Nazi Whore

Truth is, Gephardt and Daschle produced last Tuesday's disaster.
They are like football coaches who didn't win a game the last
two years.
They may be nice guys, but the Democrats can't afford "nice"
right now.

Stop all the talk about how the Democratic
Party ain't left enough.
That's not the problem. A left
wing party in this country will never

environment.
The US is a conservative country, like
it or not.
Well, I can agree with some of that.
If we move too far left, we'll be as successful as Dukakis and
Mondale were.
Clinton showed us the winning formula, why can't we use the trail
he blazed?
