first, they continue to fund the war in iraq by passing supplementals.

now, it looks like they are going to pass the so-called "telco amnesty" bill and basically tell their trial lawyer constituency to 'stick it'..... you resident liberals and bush haters, what's going on here?

are nancy pelosi and harry reid asleep at the switch?

You resident liberals and Bush haters, what's going on here? Are Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid asleep at the switch? Daily Kos and the left wing blogosphere are in overdrive over this. Why are your congressional representatives allowing this to happen? Seriously, I would like your perspective.

wow...who didn't see this coming?

Six,

Yes I would have. Bush is a REPUBLICAN first, not a conservative. He's done some good things, like on judicial appointments and tax policy, but outside of that, history will show that his administration was anything but conservative.

Six...Nice thoughts, but one very obvious misstatement on your part--"the entire conservative side of the aisle"....Ummm, the last time I checked, there is no such thing. There is no conservative leadership whatsoever in congress or national elected politics, for that matter, right now. I, for one, think we need an Obama presidency to take this country drastically leftward for that to happen. And it will.

It's a long time from that happening. WT still sits on a goldmine, and membership through attrition and new converts is still holding steady, even with a slight increase. Don't dance on their grave just yet....

Godadist,

I brought that point up earlier--he has no noteworthy accomplishments and has basically done nothing but tow the 'party line' for the dems in the senate. Whooaaa--that takes some guts...Lol

MT,

I think we've driven this Condi Rice thing into the ground. Similar accusations regarding competency could be leveled against Madeleine Albright or Colin Powell.

sixofnine,

you're certainly entitled to your opinion of Ms. Rice--it is shared by a lot of people, and certainly the overwhelming majority on this board. Like everyone, she has certainly made mistakes. I happen to agree with you that Richard Clarke was sounding warning bells that were not heeded by the Bush administration. That being said, I hardly think you can lay the blame of the entire 9/11 disaster solely at her feet, which I assume you are not trying to make the argument for. No one saw that coming in the detail that it did come to pass, not even Dick Clarke

Getting back on topic, Im curious, Six, why exactly do you think Obama said what he said last friday?
