- 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.

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.
