- New analysis shows Democratic takeover of House likely
  Posted by Billbar from Rawstory
  The latest state-by-state analysis by the Rothenberg Political Report projects a Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives. In the lower house of the legislature, Rothenberg's analysis sees Democrats gaining 15-20 seats--well over the 12 needed for a House majority. Previous analysis had the gap much tighter, with Democrats' prospects for takeover hanging on just a handful of hotly contested seats. Democrats still appear unlikely to re-take the Senate, however, with projected gains of just 3-5 seats.

- Bar association task force urges Congress to push for judicial review of Bush signing statements
  Posted by Jeff from US News
  Some task force members want to simply give Congress the right to sue over the signing statements; other task force members will not characterize what sort of judicial review might ultimately emerge.

  Republicans keep gay marriage alive for the November elections. They are a corrupt and hateful bunch.

- Gallup: Americans Think Congress is Corrupt
  Posted by Billbar from Editor and Publisher
  The Gallup Poll reports today that "The percentage of Americans who say that most members of Congress are corrupt has increased significantly from the beginning of this year, and is now at the point at which slightly fewer than half of Americans believe most members are corrupt." This, interestingly, is similar to what Gallup found just prior to the 1994 elections, when Republicans swept Democrats out of power.

Jeff comments on:
Bush claims executive privilege on CIA leak

The approval of Mukasey’s appointment was another act of doubling down by the Democrats in Congress. There were warning signs about Mukasey – but the Dems approved the appointment because they were saving the real battle for November.

Democrats May Kick Out Joe Lieberman If He Addresses The Republican National Convention

Addressing the Republican convention would be in the true spirit of "reaching across the aisle"... republicans have been doing it for years and it would be a welcome change.

About time. After the ‘08 elections, we won’t need Joe anymore. If the Republicans can stand him, they can have him.

Senate Passes FISA Bill, Gives Telecoms Immunity

Very disheartening. Exactly what has the 2006 Democratic victory in Congress brought us? Nothing I say.

Boil Them In Big Oil? Let’s Start With You! : Conservative Politics Today

The old saying is still true. "Figures don’t lie, but liars can figure." Move to hydrocarbon free energy ? Great idea ! Build "green" homes ? Another great idea. Build a religion around blaming human activity for global warming ? Not so good. The man behind the curtain will always be exposed.

I hate these kind of stories. But, at the same time, the hypocrisy has to be exposed.
