Why is Karen Hughes getting a free pass?
2 Senators attended her confirmation hearing (to become topf PR person for State Dept.)

Don't any Dems want to grill her about Rove-gate?

3. It was a friday hearing.

Specter did it porposely so that it would be difficult for people to make it.

Its not a perfect excuse, but it does put it in perspective. They plan on basically having friday afternoons off.

4. Our Party could give two fucks about America.
I'm sorry, but the Democrats need to get their shit together and start fighting this War. If they think it is anything less than a War, then we need new representatives. I'm just so angry at how our party would rather remain a minority just to preserve the status quo and their own egotistical interests.

WAKE THE FUCK UP. THERE MIGHT NOT BE ANOTHER CHANCE.

5. Biden needs to take a hike! Look at this...
http://thinkprogress.org/2005/07/22/excuse-me-but-do-you-enjoy-being-in-the-minority

He wrote a written endorsement! I could puke.:puke:

I expected some type of representation. I don't give a crap if it was just one of them. We allowed those ratbastards an opportunity to proceed with the "business as usual" fascade when these times are anything but "usual"! Damnit! These jokers work for us!!!


Peace.

6. That's the thing -- "these jokers" do NOT work for us.
They work for the Ruling Class. They work to maintain their good graces as "insiders". It's just a game for them, WE THE PEOPLE are irrelevant except during elections when they scurry to assure us that they really do have our best interests at heart. Feh!

The Beltway establishment Dems are USELESS!
