Democrats are worse than Bush. That's right, worse. How many times do we need to be shown? Their craven, collusional pussyhood is as sure as the sun rising in the east.
Another $200 billion? Sure, master. What else do you need this week? Oh btw, anything else in the Bill of Rights you need done away with? We're on it, sir.
Iran war? Hey, you got it.
Posted by Sharkbabe at September 22, 2007 10:41 AMBut Hannity, et. al will accuse them of being traitors because only a traitor would question the wisdom of Commander Guy. Or they want to bankrupt the country with their wasteful, big government, entitlement programs that Americans have been say since Reagan's days that they don't like.
Boom - boom - boom. The tax and spend liberals are reconstituting themselves. Hold on to your wallets, America. You can never trust the Democrat Party -- only Republicans understand what it's like to be a real American.
Then Harry and Nancy will say, "never mind." We'll continue to keep our powder dry for something really important. (Which at this point seems pretty much to be limited to Social Security.)
Posted by Marie at September 22, 2007 10:47 AMOk it, but put it on that bastards Visa card. Everything, including President Cheney's war for oil, from now till he returns to the pig farm for good.
Posted by tempus at September 22, 2007 11:29 AMI have waited seven years for anyone, ANYONE, to speak against the bushdick rape of our country and our children. Any congressperson or public figure to tell the truth and call these bastards out, in simple words.
Nothing. Zero. Zed. Crickets.
Really, I'm still in shock. I hoped for better. But fact is, we're pussy sheep. The sooner China pulls the plug on this braindead American quasi-corpse monster, the better.
Sad.
How did we become evil murderers, without even trying to hide it? Proud of it even?
Whoever puts a stop to us, thank you. Who could have imagined the new century would be ushered in with the most evil, destructive rogue state ever seen, spreading horror and mass death, almost as a sport?
Harry and Nancy. Like gonna do somethin. Oh, that's rich.
Posted by Sharkbabe at September 22, 2007 11:47 AMWhat forsight Steve, knowing on Saturday what Democrats are going to say on Sunday. I guess you really can count on them to fail, it's in their nature.
These guys all have a conference call with Pariser, Stoller, and Markos. I wonder what's said on those calls. Who's calling the shots? Maybe we aught to get a listen in sometimes. The upshot is they must have some concensus coming out of these calls, yet they fail you so much.
Here's to a real happy Democratic Party, whatever that is.

Back on your meds!!

btw you still never answered how you'd personally like to be without water or electricity for years.
piece of fuck.
Posted by Sharkbabe at September 22, 2007 11:54 AMToday's question for Harry and Nancy: If you know that Bush is about to blast you Monday for being fiscally irresponsible, is it too much to ask that Democrats make him pay for that mistake?
Cirque de Harry & Nancy will do a yoga bend and touch the floor warbling that they "don't have the votes to deny 'the President' what he's asking for."
*yawn*
Harry and Nancy have become as predictable as Cheney's ridiculous assertion that Saddan had something to do with 9/11.
Posted by Christopher at September 22, 2007 11:58 AMjj, they'll mess up your ID and you'll be in the cell next to me. you will have no recourse. they'll torture you like padilla.
ha ha, fun.
jesus christ, am I the only person paying fucking attention here? jj, do you think your life's really going to go on like normal, once these fascists are in high gear?
just fucking god. I give the fuck up.
Posted by Sharkbabe at September 22, 2007 12:01 PMIt's not without Sharky, it's limited. While it's not pleasant, there will come a day when services are there 24 hours a day. Provided Democrats don't get in the way. Power and water running with a western standard never before seen in this area of the world. The day is coming, get on board, let's make it happen sooner. Let's bring more of our soldiers home safe and sound. Sharky, we can make it happen.
Boy that sounded like 'Chicago' for a moment.
Posted by peter at September 22, 2007 12:03 PMsorry jj, maybe you were being sarcastic. in that case, I might enjoy you being in the next cell.
maybe I'll be in a cell next to peter. but we won't have much to talk about. he'll still be talking about how glorious it all is.
Posted by Sharkbabe at September 22, 2007 12:06 PMProvided Democrats don't get in the way.
They, the Democrats, have yet to get in the way. So, what's stopping you from doing these simple things?
Power and water running with a western standard never before seen in this area of the world.
You do mean like they had before our invasion and occupation? Maybe you mean their universal health care that we took away and can't provide even on a fee for service basis.
Or you might be referring to the United States and pre-Bushco before my electric rates tripled and water doubled.
Or you might be referring to Bush's pet, Raeus, and the lies he told about Iraq.
Actually, I just think your lips move and you make noises without any of it making any sense...
Back on your meds!!
You are way out of your limited depth, spunkwad.
Posted by phidipides at September 22, 2007 12:14 PMpeter, please stop. you have got to be kidding that making the lives of Iraqis livable is the least concern of our government.
this happy talk of yours is just simply freakin weird as hell. do you actually believe what you say? do you actually think you'd enjoy your family murdered by occupying soldiers?
go there, peter. take your family. enjoy the actual fruits of your thinking.
Posted by Sharkbabe at September 22, 2007 12:17 PMCongress should levy a surcharge on income taxes to pay for the war. Call it the "Patriot Tax."
Then see how fast we're out of there.
Posted by Chango at September 22, 2007 12:18 PMForget shaming Bush. It cannot be done. What can be done however is to make Bush to come to the Congress in person and appear for a question and answer session as a precondition for any war spending bill before Congress. He should have to respond under oath.
All questions should be fair, including whether or not he was AWOL during Vietnam.
Nancy should simply refuse to place any spending bill on the docket until Bush comes in person and answers the Congress's questions.
It works for the British Prime Minister, why not for US.
Posted by Nobody at September 22, 2007 12:19 PMPeter, why do you troll this site? Everyone loathes you and the bile you spit out. Are you a masochist?
You are definitely deviant, so stick to Rush, the right-wing blogs and their buttocks. Or alternatively, whip yourself with a bicycle chain.
Posted by tempus at September 22, 2007 12:23 PMQuestion Time for Mr. President, could be fun. But who to place on the other side? Howard Dean, nah, he can't seem to be found lately. Faded into the woodwork, been a while, oh yes the CNN YouTube debates. Yeah, that could be fun. Democrats would be stepping over each other to be on the otherside. Talk about dividing the opposition. That would do it.
Posted by peter at September 22, 2007 12:27 PMChango, you're on to something. Lieberman of all people has already come out in support of a patriot tax.
Posted by Steve Soto at September 22, 2007 12:32 PMUntil the Democrats pull the funding, as 68% of the non-sleeping public wants, no progress will be possible. They won't, because Grima tells them they are in danger if they do.
The only other possible alternative, which we should all be discussing, is to take the funding out of This Year's Bush tax cuts. Forget "letting them expire in 2010". People are DYING every fucking day this travesty continues! It's long past time the "professionals" inside the beltway have this fact pounded into their selfish little heads!
Damn them all to the level of Hell reserved for DICK Cheney, if they can't, FINALLY act in OUR interests! ACT UP or be screwed!
Posted by DeminNewJ at September 22, 2007 12:40 PMpetr has been assigned this site by RNC Central. He ain't going anywhere. He was recently awarded his GOoPer Cross with outhouse clusters, he's a proud brainwashed member of Team GOoP. Esprit d'corps and all that.
His arguments are never anything more that GoOP shit du jour, they have no substance or understanding and are deeply dishonest. There's more 'lectricity in Irak now, but more CD players! Get out of the way and let Our Heroes Win! Get it over quicker! We're winning!
All idiotic monsense that literally no one who reads an honest statement about Iraq believes. The military itself doesn't say such things. Yet there it is, all shamelessly vomited up day after day, his hands stinking of the GOoP fecal matter he gorges himself on.
Our hapless "conservative". And there are plenty more like him, who don't have the slightest command of the Talking Points. The creation of this army of permanently poisoned, dead-loss citizens is what conservatism has wrought. The oligarchs intentionally created this Frankenstein monster of cretins, in hopes of blocking any actual progress or reform.
petr is a creation of the Dr. GOoPenstein, the true "madman". All they left out was the brain.

"You can't hardly look at any aspect of the government in the seven years so far that's been run properly.""I can't stand those people - and their incompetence is astounding," he said.
"I always thought you could at least depend on the Republican Party to maintain some semblance of fiscal responsibility."
"But they run up record deficits - taking care of billionaires that they want to take care of. Don't get me started on politics. I could go for a long time."
Author John Grisham, who is hosting a Clinton fundraiser.
"Don't get me started on politics. I could go for a long time." At a political fundraiser, really? Great author, great person, not a very good choice of politicians though. These very same politicians that can't change the war. Can't appease the progressives in the house. Notice he didn't throw at Republican control of Congress during the Clinton years. I guess that's OK. Welfare reform, etc.
Details!
Posted by peter at September 22, 2007 01:39 PMNotice he didn't throw at Republican control of Congress during the Clinton years.
Clinton was the best republi-con you guys ever had. Record growth, record surpluses, record job growth. Then the Mad King, idiot son of George, got into office. And now you guys can't get enough of the destruction of America. When it snaps back you guys need to hide...or at least lie to your children and say you never supported it.
Posted by phidipides at September 22, 2007 02:06 PM"Great author, great person", yet he clearly DESPISES Repubs, declares Bushco "bad people with evil intent", and would likely have extreme personal disgust when contemplating you, peter.
Notice any connection? What does it mean when the artists and intellectuals of an entire society revile the "movement" that is your very essence, the thing that defines you?
When the creatives and the intelligentsia of a country have given up on it, that is the end, it is doomed. That's what has happened in BushAmerica, that's what you personally have striven with all your might to accomplish---turning the best and brightest of our society against it. Making them sick with disgust. Bravo, GOoPman!
Tell Grisham you're a brainwashed cog in Team Conservative when you're havin' a book autographed by him someday.
By the way, your post is incoherent, something that seems to happen "frequently" on the weekends....
Posted by euzoius at September 22, 2007 02:08 PMWhen Bush's televised speech on September 13 2007, his sixth on the Iraq war, is seen in a historical perspective dating back to his first such address on the eve of the invasion on March 19 2003, it emerges that he has been forced to retreat steadily The aim of the US-led coalition - a grandiose term for a force of American and British troops with token contributions from three other nations - was to create a free, united, democratic Iraq which would engender a democratic wave across the Middle East, declared BushThere's a chasm between that fantasy and today's reality
Stolen from Radical Left.
petie, I've decided that cut and paste responses are all you deserve from now on.
Posted by Seven of Six at September 22, 2007 02:28 PMWhere is it? Where is the coverage of the cholera epidemic in Iraq? Foreign press is reporting 29,000 cases. Where's the coverage? Why have the blogs failed to pick up this story? No wonder our Dems in Congress are as dumb as the rest of our population.
Posted by nlacey at September 22, 2007 03:57 PMnlacey, I blogged about it but my viewership is small.
I did report it in the comment thread here. Also, Soccerdad wrote about it.
It started in the north, which has the most cases. Then spread to the south towards Basra, now is in Baghdad.
Where is the coverage of the cholera epidemic in Iraq?
It sure as hell won't be reported before this spending bill is taken care of.
And I think it's where all the story's of bu$h'$ criminality are... hidden.
nlacey, it has been on the blogs, that's where I heard about it.
Posted by iamcoyote at September 22, 2007 05:57 PMSteve- re: war tax
I'll gladly pay my fair share to assist the people of Iraq after we leave. Not interested in paying anything extra for the occupation to continue. In my proposal for getting out, I rejected a general income tax surcharge route because it wouldn't hit everybody and I do think that everybody in the country had some responsibility for this debacle. However I would most definitely surcharge those who have made the most out of having this criminal gang in charge and that includes the oil companies.
Posted by Marie at September 22, 2007 06:13 PMNotice any connection? What does it mean when the artists and intellectuals of an entire society revile the "movement" that is your very essence, the thing that defines you?
Well, it means republi-cons will have to treat them like they treat Gold Star fathers. Beat the shit out of them for not agreeing.
Where is the coverage of the cholera epidemic in Iraq?
Shhhhh. We're supposed to call it "Democracy Diarrhea!" and "Freedom Vomiting!" The muscle cramps are called "The Birth Pains of Liberty In A New Republic!" If one of them has rice-water stools you say "The Surge Is Working!" Say it really cheerily. See, that's easy, and it beats the hell out of laying the blame where it belongs...republi-cons.
Posted by phidipides at September 22, 2007 07:38 PMShhhhh. We're supposed to call it "Democracy Diarrhea!"
Oh phid, that is funny! Unfortunately, people are dying!
Nothing like "blue death"!
The effect of a "Patriot Tax" would be to make people come to grips with reality. I think the result would be a collapse of any remaining support for the war.
But make it only on corporations and high incomes.
Posted by Chango at September 22, 2007 09:13 PMSteve, One possibility on the 200 billion dollar price tag... could it be for helping finance the pending Iran debacle?
Posted by Seven of Six at September 22, 2007 09:29 PMUnfortunately, people are dying!
Yup. But if 1.2 million dead Iraqis from guns and bombs don't make the republi-cons compassionate, nothing will. This cholera is caused by compassionate conservatives. And those cholera deaths are being paid for by taking away from the least among us in the United States. Now that's compassion!

ROFLOL, you mean DNC Chairman Howard Dean who helped the Democrats win in 2006? The same Dr. Dean who will help the Democrats wipe out the ReThugs in 2008?
This is not a War on Terror, it is a War on the Treasury. Little Bushie wants his war? Then repeal his tax cuts to PAY for it.
