"For the last 35 years, we have aborted more
than a million people (he means fetuses) who would have been in our workforce
had we not had the holocaust of liberalized abortion..." -- Mike Huckabee, (R-Insane)
Link
Huckabee wants an America where every woman is forced to have
her rapists's baby.
"Can you whistle
Dixie?"
Truth is, abortion is the cost of reproductive freedom.
Huckabee wants to worry about THOSE "lives," but he's not worried
about the lives lost to
BIG CANCER because he gets money from BIG CANCER.
Huckabee's not worried about the lives lost to gun violence because
he gets money from the NRA
to say, "The more guns we have, the
safer we are."
Huckabee's not worried about the lives lost in Iraq and Afghanistan
because his insane president
got us stuck over there and he wants to be president.
Bottom line is Huckabee wants to pick and choose his tragedies.
Think of the lives (real people, not fetuses) that could be saved
if cigarettes were illegal.
Think of the lives (real people, not fetuses) that could be saved
if we didn't have 200 million guns.
Think of the lives (real people, not fetuses) that could be saved
if Bush hadn't lied us into war.
Huckabee's outraged about abortion because his political fate
is in the hands of the religiously insane.
We're lucky the snake-handling handjobs aren't his base - he'd
want snakes in every classroom.
Excerpt: In August after the Democratic-controlled Congress
caved in to Bush's demands for broader
surveillance powers, I noted that the new authority
went far beyond what was advertised and that
the President could obtain year-long spying orders
on Americans who ventured outside the United States.
My analysis, which was based on a reading of the
law's language, wasn't shared by commentators in
the major U.S. news media and even drew some
reader criticism as alarmist for failing to take into
account secret "minimization" provisions that
supposedly would protect American citizens.
However, the Bush administration's hostile reaction
to a seemingly innocuous amendment added to a
new surveillance bill by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon,
suggests that targeting Americans who travel
abroad was a key goal of Bush's "Protect America
Act of 2007."
Note: The Democrats caved in because they wanted to go on vacation.
For that,
Pelosi and Reid should lose their jobs.
Excerpt: Senator Chris Dodd on Thursday single-handedly
blocked a bill to legalize unconstitutional spying and
immunize criminals who have engaged in it. But
by doing so, Dodd may have made the biggest blunder
Washington has seen in many months. He advertised
the fact that a single senator with nerve has the power
to block a bill, including - of course - every
bill to further fund the occupation of Iraq. Now, how will Dodd
explain his past and future failure to use the
same power to end the war that he has used to end warrantless spying?
How will other senators, including Harry Reid,
explain their own failure? How will Nancy Pelosi manage to keep
asserting in every conversation that only 67
senators can end a war?
This answers the question I've been asking for months or maybe even
years.
Question: If a single Republican senator can block a bill when
we
control congress,
why can't the Democrats block all the atrocious crimes
Bush has been committing?
Why are the idiots in our Congress suddenly concerned
about something that happened between
Turks and Armenians a hundred years ago?
They aren't. But anything that increases tensions in
that part of the world provides an excuse to
raise oil prices. Both Democrats and Republicans are beholden to their oil masters,
and this servitude trickles all the way down to every citizen
in this country and most of the developed world.
Now the Turks have a 'plausible' reason to tell
us to "Go Cheney ourselves" as they invade Northern Iraq
to deal with the Kurds causing trouble on their
border. Oil supplies from that reason have already slowed down.
It's always and only about the oil and the money.

"The Dems need to get rid of Harry Reid, have
Kennedy retire, fire Dean, and demote Pelosi. These idiots don't have enough sense
between all of them to fill a thimble." -- blue62devil, Democrat,

Is Dean still the DNC chairman?
When the last time we heard anything from him?
Hey, Bart, I had a letter to the editor published
today in the local newspaper,
the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. I thought
you would enjoy it.
On their own EDITOR: The president's recent veto of a bill
expanding health care for children
should remind us that conservative Republicans
revere children only until they are born.
After that, they are on their own.

"We are stopping the Democrats from accomplishing
anything. Now, that's winning. We're not advancing much, because we're
not in the majority but, we're stopping 'em."
-- the vulgar Pigboy, 10/18/07 who no longer has the phrase "obstructionist
minority" in his vocabulary.
..
Excerpt: This is crunchtime for members of Congress who
must decide whether to seek reelection next year
or leave office, and so far Republicans seem
to be lunging for the exits. While 16 GOP lawmakers
have decided to throw in the towel on their Capitol
Hill careers, only two Democrats so far have
called it quits - and they both are seeking higher
office.
The disparity underscores the sharply different
moods in the two parties: Democrats, still heady from
winning control of Congress last year, are enjoying
the fruits of power. Republicans, in disarray and
reduced to minority status in the House and Senate,
see more allure in retirement or private life.
There are so many rats jumping ship.
Will our next president have a veto-proof majority?
And if she does, how long will it be before her
own party stabs her in the back?
Excerpts: Something remarkable happened at 44 Henry
St., a grimy Chinatown tenement with peeling walls.
It also happened nearby at a dimly lighted
apartment building with trash bins clustered by the front door.
And again not too far away, at 88 E. Broadway
beneath the Manhattan bridge, where vendors chatter
in Mandarin and Fujianese as they hawk rubber
sandals and bargain-basement clothes.
All three locations, along with scores of others
scattered throughout some of the poorest Chinese
neighborhoods in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx,
have been swept by an extraordinary impulse to shower money on one particular presidential
candidate -- Hillary.
I wonder how this story would read without all
the we-hate-Hillary buzzwords.
What if they write it like adults without an
ax to grind - how would it read then?
I guess we'll never know.
Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs
and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them
unpromising targets for political fundraisers
are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into her campaign.
In April, a single fundraiser in an area long
known for its gritty urban poverty yielded a whopping $380,000.
When Kerry ran for president in 2004, he received
$24,000 from Chinatown.
If the we-hate-Hillary crowd has evidence a crime
has been committed, they should come forward with that.
Shorty of evidence, this is justhate piece number
2,310. Why bother to write such an artticle?
Because the we-hate-Hillary crowd will run this
in 10,000 places.
But a piece saying she's 30 points ahead due to
hard work and smart, timely moves
will get printed only here and maybe at Josh
Marshall's site.
Sidebar: Do I have
that right?
Is Josh
Marshall the biggest site that doesn't hate Hillary?
Remember, it's not about fairness and accuracy. It's about making the
most money
and right now the BIG money is being made in the we-hate-Hillary movement.
I thought the same thing when I heard him say
that on Leno.
She never said that - the MSM is the one's saying
that.
He got a laugh but it was dishonest .
What he said makes him sound like a republican.
After that I lost a lot of respect for him .
Mike Mesa
Az
Mike, no need to lose respect for Obama.
I just wanted to point out that his "schtick" is that he's the "honest"
candidate,
but since he's behind he's had to show he's just like everyone else.
He's certainly not the only guy talking shit to get elected.
I've always held that there is only one party
worse than the Democrats.
I guess I'm just a little tired of living with
this reality.
The Republicans have always been the Morlocks
but why do the
Democrats insist on being the Eloy?
Will they never learn?
Hillary said something the other day - I didn't
hear the entire question but her response was
"When somebody attacks you, you deck em!
That's the kind of girl I am." (paraphrased, of course).
I hope to see her live up to this in the near
future when the right wing slime machine starts attacking.
Maybe you can send her your resume as a Response
Consultant. It would be such a pleasure to see
and hear some serious smack down instead of the
usual silence from the sackless wankers. What say you?
You could graduate from a claw hammer to a double
jack.

Greg, thanks for that, but she's probably the only candidate who doesn't
need my help :)
Excerpt: Nancy Pelosi did it again. One more apology on
a stack of endless apologies from Democrats.
Please stop being so damn weak. It's embarrassing
to look at.
This time it
was a rebuke of Pete Stark (D-CA) for saying the president is getting
kids killed for
his own amusement in Iraq. Amusement, ego, whatever.
The kids are dying and it is all because of
the president's vainglory. Pete Stark shouldn't
be apologizing for that, Nancy Pelosi shouldn't be
apologizing on his behalf or rebuking him, it
should be the president who is apologizing!
When someone says, "Hillary is just like Bush
& Cheney," what I hear is,
"I wouldn't mind another Bush-Cheney administration."

Excerpt: Saif Aldin, a 32-year-old Iraqi reporter in The
Washington Post's Baghdad bureau was shot in the head
in the neighborhood of Sadiyah. He was the latest
in a long line of reporters, most of them Iraqis,
to be killed while covering the Iraq war. He
was the first for The Washington Post.
"They killed him," one man whispered, pointing
at members of the Iraqi army brigade on the street.
Iraqi polices said they believed Saif Aldin was
killed by Sunni men belonging to the Awakening Council,
a tribal organization aligned with the U.S. military.
Iraqi government officials have accused these Sunnis
of abusing their partnership with the Americans
to kill and kidnap residents.
So why did America's allies murder the Post reporter?
Did he ask a question about why there are no meters on the Iraqi oil
pumps?

Hey Monkey, no contact with Iran since the seventies?

The Constitution spells out a position that prohibits abortion?

finish this?)

clip he's ever been in.
Then give me a budget and I promise I'll make Rudy cry.

Excerpt: Hillary Clinton leads the Democratic field with
51 percent of the vote.
She beats Barack Obama by 24 percentage points
among black Democrats.
She is projected now to beat Giuliani - or at
the very least to be in a statistical dead heat with him in the general
election.
This wasn't supposed to happen. According to the
received wisdom of those in-the-know
here in Washington, Hillary was supposed to be
divisive, unelectable, "radioactive."
It was the fault of Bill and Monica. It was the
fault of Hillary - and it was the fault of voters
- those people out there who would never, ever
elect another Clinton.
Why? Because everyone said so.
"I think the one thing we know about Hillary,
the one thing we absolutely know, bottom line, is she can`t win, right?" is
how MSNBC whore Tucker Carlson put it. "She is unelectable."
You even notice that those who say
"She can't win" keep their wallets closed?
Have you ever heard somebody say, "I have
big money that says she can't win?"
And what's Judith Warner doing - saying Hillary can win?
Didn't she get the memo that said that's impossible?
Subject: You can't always be
perfect but this one was sloppy
Isn't it likely that Obama's connection to Cheney
is through his white mother's side
of the family and has nothing to do with any
possible enslavement of one of Obama's black ancestors?
Jon from Boston
Sure, that's possible.
I just thought of Cheney's proclivity towards
rape.
Are you sayin' that Obama is related to Cheney
thru his father's side?
Be careful with that.
Unless it is true, it's unwise to insinuate that
the relation is not thru Obama's mother.

Excerpt: Last week a man you've never heard of - Charles
D. Riechers, 47, the second-highest-ranking
procurement officer in the United States Air
Force - killed himself.
Riechers's suicide occurred just two weeks after
his appearance in a exposé in The Washington Whore Post.
The Post reported that the Air Force had asked
a defense contractor, Commonwealth Research Institute,
to give him a no-show job while he waited for
official clearance for his new Pentagon assignment.
Set against the epic corruption that has defined
the war in Iraq, Mr. Riechers's tragic tale is but a passing
anecdote, his infraction at most a misdemeanor.
The $26,788 he received for two months in a non-job
doesn't rise even to a rounding error in the
Iraq-Afghanistan money pit. So far some $6 billion worth of
contracts are being investigated for waste and
fraud, however slowly, by the Pentagon and the Justice
Department. That doesn't include the unaccounted-for
piles of cash, some $9 billion in Iraqi funds,
that vanished during L. Paul Bremer's disastrous
reign in the Green Zone. Yet Mr. Riechers, not the first
suicide connected to the war's corruption scandals,
is a window into the culture of the whole debacle.
