[bridgit]

review for accuracy before hitting 'Send', it just lends them more grist for their propaganda mill, thank you

'(AP) Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday apologized to 33 Republican senators singled out for ethics criticism in a report from his office titled "Republican Abuse of Power."

"The document released by my office yesterday went too far and I want to convey to you my personal regrets," Reid said in a letter.

"I am writing to apologize for the tone of this document and the decision to single out individual senators for criticism in it."'

and of course the inevitable come back x(

'"Researching, compiling and distributing what amounts to nothing more than a campaign ad on the taxpayers' dime raises serious ethical questions," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, one of the lawmakers named.'

1. Why apologize? How was this man threatened by the Nazis?

He must've been threatened. Why else would he apologize?????

2. i do agree with the not apologizing part, republicans have the entire...

american landscape strewn with shit they refuse to apologize for so i say, "lump it!! deal with it, crap-heads!!"

3. Oh, for gawd's sake, somebody get this man

a fucking backbone transplant. What a jellyfish!

Apologize? He should have elaborated farther and called those racketeering fuckers what they really are.

4. The article spends most of its space on how badly the Repukes have

messed up though.

5. Cue the DLCers who will come in and demand you apologize

for not being happy with Reid's apology for telling the damn TRUTH.

There was a thread about this last night, and someone insisted we need to be nice, and apologetic to win.

10. Yeah, well, I'm of the opinion that most of this "helpful advice"

is coming straight from the RNC. Fuck that.

[f-bush]

7. Fuck apologizing

we need to rip the gop's balls off and shove them down their throat so they choke on them. The Dems need to quick being so spinelss and tell it like it is!!!!

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Eh. Uh. Hmmm.

Harry, why the fuck are you apologizing to these cretins?

11. I guess Cornyn hasn't seen the RNC sign over the White House door.

It's been there for five years. I guess that's an example of blind partisanship.

12. How often does the other side apologize? for anything?

just askin'

[bridgit]

15. so far as i'm aware they never apologize for anything...

x( it's the republican way, i think delay & congressional republicans apologizing for their idiot, brain dead 'k street project' and their proactive tutelage of abramoff having helped to disassemble america is a good place to start, but that's just me

13. This has to be like the 10th post on this...

:boring:

[bridgit]

14. like dude, this issue made it all the way to the sunday pundits...

requiring carville & begala to tap dance on a dime while giving matalin, and far too many others, the opportunity to cackle.

the beat goes on within you and without you, but imo :boring: brought about by apathy is part of our problem...and a wistful republican solution :shrug: for which they should be made to work much harder again...imo
