Political News mini-Roundup

November 4th, 2005

Well Happy Birthday to ME! I was saying the man had zero integrity in 1999!

Bush's popularity hits new low
For the first time in his presidency a majority of Americans question
the integrity of President Bush, and growing doubts about his
leadership have left him with record negative ratings on the economy,
Iraq and even the war on terrorism, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll
shows.

Let me first say here, Senator Reid, should from here forward, be
called Saint Harry. Finally, someone standing up to the corruption!
I've already sent the Nevada senator a thank you note!

Harry Reid Unplugged - TNR
--Reid seemed genuinely angry at Bill Frist's bitter denunciation of
his move to bring the Senate into closed session as a breach of Senate
etiquette. "What right do the Senate Republicans have to talk about the
rules?" he asked. Reid noted (as The Plank
did on Tuesday) that such complaints ring hollow, coming as they do
from Republicans who have been plotting to rewrite Senate debate rules
via the "nuclear option." 
--(Emphasis mine)

Another tidbit from this short article:
--More dramatically, Reid also made it clear that he believes the delay
in the Senate Intelligence Committee's investigation of prewar Iraq
WMD--the underlying issue behind Tuesday's closed session--is entirely
attributable to Vice President Dick Cheney. "Nothing happens regarding
intelligence gathering ... unless it's signed off on by the Vice
President," he said. "[Senate Intelligence chairman Pat] Roberts
couldn't do it"--i.e., Roberts couldn't conduct a full investigation
without Cheney's approval. When I asked Reid whether he meant to state
so flatly that Cheney was personally and directly stalling the
Intelligence Committee's work, he didn't pause a beat. In fact he
almost stood from his chair. "Yes. I say that without any qualification
... Circle it."
 --(Emphasis Mine)

Scumbags. Thats what these fools are....scumbags. Lying war mongering, murdering scumbags.

ooooh ooooh, updated to add one more:

Abramoff-Scanlon School Of Sleeze - Salon
"The wackos get their information through the Christian right,
Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees," Scanlon wrote
in the memo, which was read into the public record at a hearing of the
Senate Indian Affairs Committee. "Simply put, we want to bring out the
wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them.

Yoohoo...oh "Republican Base", how did that kool aid taste? So this is what they really think of you.
Come on over to our tent! We don't like displaying the Ten Commandments in public places, but at least we try to adhere to them ;)

Around a year ago on this day..
