She understands the reality of the religiosity of West Virginia. She talked about that last night. She was urging Byrd to have some balls and stick to his committment to the integrity of the Senate and go out with a bang- i.e. forget about getting re-elected at his advanced age. It ain't gonna happen, but at lease she can desire for it to happen.
Bingo.
I think you're painting this picture with a very broad brush. For every Republican-in-Democrat's-clothes you can name, I can name a dyed-in-the-wool liberal. To make the assumption that the Democratic party is automatically far-left is naive.
I don't think that's true.
Um, no- not really. Being in the minority in both houses, the Democrats have no power to control anything. There hasn't been "complicity". There have been some who are creeps (Ben Nelson, anyone?). However, I believe the majority of the Democrats in congress have been consistently dissenting against what the majority and the administration have been doing- it's just that their statements have no power whatsoever. Patrick Leahy ripped the **** out of Alito, but with a 10 to 8 republican majority on the judiciary committee he has no power to altar anything.
Just because Dubya stole the election is no reason for you to give up.
 Imagine the 2006 elections which are only nine months away. Imagine Spygate and Plamegate and Delaygate and allllll the Abramoff **** coming to a head. Imagine the Democrats regaining control of the Senate or the House. Imagine payback being a bitch. |
Sooooooooooooooo, to take your scenario a bit further, lets imagine a Dem controlled congress recalling the last two Supreme Court Judges
btw, the fact that Dumbya stole the election isnt enuff to make me (or others, Im sure) give up, I think its more the fact that our representatives (our REPRESENTATIVES--the mooks that are supposed to REPRESENT US) are so spineless. I personally think this time represents a prime opportunity to grab the bull by the horns and DO something (ANYTHING!) and our party does what??? sits on its hands?
Arent you a bit peeved Towie? just a little?
