Just Got Done Talking With Mom About All This
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 08:48 PM by Dinger
She said she thinks that the #1 strategy of the rebeelzepublicans is to make Democrats feel hopeless. I am not falling for that shit. I can't say I feel too good right now, but to me, our senators did not represent us, and we will vote in the right people in 2006. We don't have to worry about how a senator will vote in an election because WE do the talking, battered and bruised as we are and as elections are. We better concentrate on getting out the vote in 2006 and 2008, and making our voices heard. We don't have to depend on someone else voting for us, we don't have to worry about signing petitions, . . we just vote, period. What I'm trying to say is, first, I agree with Mom, and second, SC jusdges can be impeached. It's time to start that practice all over again. Don't give up y'all, that's what they want.

1. i really think this is really going to hurt repugs more than we know
people arent happy with bush. his numbers show it. he is staying low. even if he moves up a little for whatever reason, he is really sittin low. it is the discontent, it is the feel that bush is fuckin with u.s. and i think this vote is going to sink in to american people just reinforcing their feel that bush is the worst. i think it is going to continue to erode any good feeling to the repug party.

3. Mom is a smart lady. :)
And I agree with her totally. Every time I heard a talking head in the MSM say that it wasn't going to happen, I just thought that they were working the PR machine for preemption.

5. We did get out the vote, we got cheated..Fair elections are the only
hope. Well, once they suspend the constitution, that's the final plan of the new world order. They own every branch of governing, you would think that our forefathers thought of that possibility but apparently the great experiment has gone gravely wrong. We are now pretty much a fascist little theocracy. The system is broke. It's just a downward spiral from here on.

6. When was the last time a Supreme Court Justice was impeached?
You can't impeach a Supreme Court Justice for making a ruling you don't like.
