8. Under the bus with Spitzer now!

C'mon down. Plenty of room. We just keep getting bigger and bigger busses.

Next week we'll upgrade to a high speed train since more casualties are expected.

9. spitzer is right where he belongs, on a medium that is mostly "entertainment tonight"

Maybe he can get a show with ginrich, palin, and the other losers
who couldn't stay in office

13. Lol, don't worry, I'm sure there will be others along to help

you rearrange all the other great Democrats currently occupying space under the bus, including Noam Chomsky, I think he landed there a few weeks ago, to make room for Spitzer.

So predictable. If this is true, all it does is prove those of us who have suspected for a long time, that the DLC wing of the party, to which Clinton belongs, will do anything to hold on to the Joe Liebermans and Jane Harmans, Blanche Lincolns and the Nelsons of the party, were right.

Which only proves that there is little difference between the left and the right when it comes to support for a Corporate America. As soon as Clinton started hanging out with the Bushes, the writing was on the wall as far as where he stood.

It didn't work this time though. So that gives me hope that finally democratic voters have taken the blinders off and are now doing what they should have been doing, working hard to re-build the Democratic Party into a party that actually represents the people.

14. We may not see eye to eye on many things, but your assessment regarding taking back the party

is a reality as was shown in the primaries in Arkansas and Philadelphia

After we lost Kennedy's seat, "thank you kaine for being asleep on the job", and the recent primaries, you would hope that the current administration would recognize that catering to the people who DID NOT vote for him should get less weighting than those who DID

[sabrina 1]

18. Yes, I completely agree with you on this.

The party has been divided, but I do think that most now are united in realizing that without a strong progressive Democratic congress, a president's hands are tied, even with a majority.

And even if the president is not a Democrat, like Bush eg, a strong majority of real Democrats in Congress can stop the worst policies from being pushed through, and will have the power to make the real changes that are necessary. I know it will take time, but as you pointed out, we have made a good start.

Sometimes we place too much importance on the race to the WH and ignore where the people's real power is. The beauty of our system of government is the balance of powers. As Sen. Byrd once said to Larry King when he asked him how he liked 'working under Bush' ~ 'Congress does not work under the president. We are an equal branch of government and I work as an equal partner to this president, never under him'. Larry got a lesson in civics that night .. :-)

17. +1000 nt

[Jennicut]

10. Where we you since this morning?

Bubba, on behalf of the WH, offered a non paying advisory panel type job offer to Sestak. Sestak turned him down.

[harkadog]

11. It doesn't pass the smell test.

Why won't they identify the job? If it is non-paying how is it "important and significant"? What would induce Sestak to take a non-paying job anyway, is he independently wealthy?

[laughingliberal]

12. It was a position on the Presidential Board and he would have remained in the House. LInky:

[harkadog]

15. There is no such thing as "the Presidential Board"

Again they won't say what board, commission or agency.

[laughingliberal]

16. I'm just reporting the story as I read it.

I don't have a dog in this fight.

[harkadog]

19. I don't have a dog either except I want a Democrat to win in PA

Until this comes out clean in the wash I think it will hang over Sestak's head until the election.

[WeDidIt]

22. Dude, it's done

Clinton told Sestak that the administration would like for him to stay in the House but would appoint him to a presidential commission. By law, sitting House members cannot be paid for that, but sitting members of Congress participate in presidential commissions all the time.

There was nothing illegal or improper about it from either side and it won't hang over anybody's head.

You've revealed you agenda.

AttOd.

[harkadog]

24. I guess Axelrod has the same agenda

Because on Tuesday he said it "would be a serious breach of the law" if it went down as Sestak said.

[WeDidIt]

25. Bullshit

Sestak said that TODAY, Axelrod's statement was in regards to what Issa described and came days ago,but you continue to reveal your agenda.

AttOd

[harkadog]

28. Bullshit back at you

Axelrod said that in reference to what Sestak had said up to that point. You continue to reveal your agenda of cover up at any cost.

[WeDidIt]

21. You posted exatcly what fifteen Freepers posted on their site

:rofl:

[harkadog]

23. And you posted what 52 Klansmen posted on their site

See how easy that was?

[WeDidIt]

26. Go over to FR and read their threads on this

You'll find "it doesn't pass the smell test" multiple times in every last one of them.

But you knew that already.

[harkadog]

27. DUers have used that phase many times on posts about Bush administration crap

I didn't know the RWers had a copyright on it. Since you seem to be their accountant, how much do I owe them?

[WinkyDink]

20. The Big Dawg will have to risk his GHWB friendship to tell how THAT'S THE WAY IT HAS BEEN DONE.
