  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  The Democratic congressman who will investigate the Bush administration's running of the government says there are so many areas of possible wrongdoing, his biggest problem will be deciding which ones to pursue.

- Daily Kos: Who Supports The Troops? Democrats, As It Turns Out...
  Posted by Jeff from Dailykos
  Impressive study showing Democrats support pro-troop legislation far more than the GOP. Let's get the word out.

- Time to Go! Inside the Worst Congress Ever
  Posted by Billbar from Rolling Stone
  These past six years were more than just the most shameful, corrupt and incompetent period in the history of the American legislative branch. These were the years when the U.S. parliament became a historical punch line, a political obscenity on par with the court of Nero or Caligula -- a stable of thieves and perverts who committed crimes rolling out of bed in the morning and did their very best to turn the mighty American empire into a debt-laden, despotic backwater, a Burkina Faso with cable.

- Virginia Senator Allen Didn't Disclose Stock Options to Congress
  Posted by Jeff from Boston Globe
  For the past five years, Senator George Allen has failed to tell Congress about stock options he got for his work as a director of a high-tech company. The Virginia Republican also asked the Army to help another business that gave him similar options.

- GOP Lawmaker Saw Foley Messages In 2000
  Posted by Jeff from Washington Post
  Rep. Martin T. Meehan (D-Mass.) shot back, "If there's any evidence that you need that the values in Washington have turned upside down, you could just hear what Jack had to say. Only in Washington, D.C., can you take a group of people in charge of the House and basically have evidence that they've been looking the other way while a predator has been . . . going after 15- and 16-year-old pages, [and] they somehow . . . have the audacity to turn that into a political attack against Democrats."

- Hastert Became Speaker Because of Corrupt Republicans
  Posted by Jeff
  
  Apparently, Hastert only became speaker because of other GOP leaders’ corruption or ethical problems. Livingston – the interim speaker – admitted to an extramarital affair. DeLay tried to gain the speakership was deemed as too controversial – and now of course corrupt.

Waxman Ousts Dingell From Energy Chair In Bruising Dem Fight

Dingell’s kowtowing to the auto industry lobbyists (and his wife who works at GM) has apparently passively led them to near bankruptcy. Not good for them – not good for the country. Time for change. Waxman has integrity – and will take on climate change.

Jobless Rate Highest in 14 Years - NYTimes.com

though my memory may be faulty, i do believe that the last time it was so high, the Clinton Admisitration worked with Congress to get it all fixed.
. . .but the wheel turns around. . .deja vu all over again. . .

You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.
However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

. . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.
i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this. otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

Hi okami,
I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church. Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."
people fear change and the future and uncertainity.
this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that. it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.
