What happened to Phase II of Pat Roberts investigation?
Remember Harry Reid shutting down the senate?
I thought they were going to get a report on Phase II, Where the hell is it?
Democrats it's time to shut'em down again.
I smell more stonewalling.

Is there anything going on with this or are we just getting buried in scandal after scandal so that nothing ever actually gets accomplished?

1. Scandal stacking so that they cancel themselves out...
what a pathetic tactic.

Oh look, another promise broken, another compromise ignored, another problem pushed under the rug along with the deficit and slumping economy.

Republicans think they're so smart for being able to avoid these things. They think, "Stupid democrats, we dupped them again and there's nothing they can do about it because nobody in the media cares anymore." When in reality, by avoiding these things they are dragging the country farther and farther into a really bad situation that could end (worst case scenerio) in economic failure and a dramatic shift towards liberal ideology (just like in the thirties) that will ramain for a long time, perhaps decades.

2. Remember how pissed Pat Roberts was that the Dems made such a
scene, when he'd been "working on it the whole time"? They seem to have swept the whole thing back under the rug.

3. action in the House
See Conyers' H.Res 635 in particular, also 636 and 637. Tell your Rep to support them. Congress apparently isn't back from recess yet - Senate on Jan 18, House on Jan 31. http://www.house.gov http://www.senate.gov
We'll be on tingling tenterhooks when the fireworks start, gotta watch that Dildo doesn't suspend civil liberties and initiate a police state in the meantime.

4. The other day Kennedy said they'd shut things down again.
He said if they do not get cooperation (and they are *not* getting cooperation) that they'd go to closed session again.
