TomPaine.com - Ganging Up On Feingold

When the yellow belly democrats finally get the message that their base is only going to support those who have the balls to stand up for basic principles and those whose re-election campaign is based on getting out of Iraq they will sadly be losers once again. I'm putting my support behind those who have the guts to speak out against these criminals in power.

Of course, an ad that actually respected the listeners would tell them the truth. Something like:
Now Feingold, with little support from his quaking Democratic colleagues, wants to censure the President…for authorizing wiretapping on American citizens that even many prominent Republicans believe is illegal—and unnecessary. Feingold wants the president to pursue real suspected members of Al Qaeda—not turn the U.S. into a police state.

Collateral damage my ass. The probe concluded that the civilians were in fact killed by Marines and not by an insurgent's bomb and that no insurgents appeared to be in the first two houses raided by the Marines. The probe found, however, that the deaths were the result of "collateral damage" rather than malicious intent by the Marines, investigators say.

Bush battered by US pessimism

A majority of Americans, 56 percent, believe Bush is "out of touch," the poll found. When asked for a one-word description of Bush, the most frequent response was "incompetent," followed by "good," "idiot" and "liar." In February 2005, the most frequent reply was "honest."

ABC News: New Documents from Saddam Hussein's Archives Discuss Bin Laden, WMDs

So why does ABC News even publish this bullshit as "intense debate" when it has long ago been discredited and has "limited evidentiary value"?
ABC News: New Documents from Saddam Hussein's Archives Discuss Bin Laden, WMDs: "(Editor's Note: The controversial claim that Osama bin Laden was cooperating with Saddam Hussein is an ongoing matter of intense debate. While the assertions contained in this document clearly support the claim, the sourcing is questionable i.e. an unnamed Afghan 'informant' reporting on a conversation with another Afghan 'consul.' The date of the document four days after 9/11 is worth noting but without further corroboration, this document is of limited evidentiary value.) "

Molly Ivins: Enough of the D.C. Dems | The Progressive

Hey Molly Ivins! I would love to nominate you for president. Who says it has to be some dimwit no balls like Bayh or republican lite Lieberman or some other has been never was beltway lapdog.
Molly Ivins: Enough of the D.C. Dems The Progressive: "Mah fellow progressives, now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of the party. I don�t know about you, but I have had it with the D.C. Democrats, had it with the DLC Democrats, had it with every calculating, equivocating, triangulating, straddling, hair-splitting son of a bitch up there, and that includes Hillary Rodham Clinton."

Bush Admits Rocky Start to Medicare Prescription Drug Plan - New York Times

Rocky start my ass. Everything this administration has started has been fucked up from the beginning and will take years for their replacements to repair the damage.
Bush Admits Rocky Start to Medicare Prescription Drug Plan - New York Times: "In an echo of speeches conceding errors in the responses to Hurricane Katrina and the Iraq reconstruction, and in which he insisted that the problems were being resolved, Mr. Bush told a group of pharmacists and Medicare participants here that he had expected that the program would have a rocky start."

A deaf man spouting

On the eve of George Bush's presidential campaign in 2000, the neoconservative Kenneth Adelman cast him as Prince Hal, who "puts the indiscretions of his youth behind him" and "redeems his father's reign". After September 11, Bush was wreathed with regal laurels as Henry V by a clerisy of pundits. From Ground Zero to the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln ("Mission Accomplished") the president struck bold poses, but his choreographed gestures have especially illuminated his hollow crown in the darkened breach
Guardian Unlimited Special reports A deaf man spouting: "For the first time, last week, the public has seen the spontaneous Bush behind closed doors, in a leaked videotape that recorded his briefing the day before Hurricane Katrina struck. Teleconferenced in from his Crawford ranch, Texas, Bush listens to disaster officials inform him that the storm will be unprecedented in its severity and consequences. 'This is, to put it mildly, the big one,' says Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Centre, warns: 'This hurricane is much larger than Hurricane Andrew ever was.' Bush asks not a single question, says, 'We are fully prepared', and departs."

At Conservative Forum on Bush, Everybody's a Critic

Finally, some of the boot lickers are getting fed up with bush and his cronies.
At Conservative Forum on Bush, Everybody's a Critic
Well, it could have been because of the first speaker, former Reagan aide Bruce Bartlett. Author of the new book "Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy," Bartlett called the administration "unconscionable," "irresponsible," "vindictive" and "inept."
It might also have had something to do with speaker No. 2, conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan. Author of the forthcoming "The Conservative Soul: How We Lost It; How to Get It Back," Sullivan called Bush "reckless" and "a socialist," and accused him of betraying "almost every principle conservatism has ever stood for."

US envoy to Iraq: 'We have opened the Pandora's box'

The US ambassador to Baghdad conceded yesterday that the Iraq invasion had opened a Pandora's box of sectarian conflicts which could lead to a regional war and the rise of religious extremists who "would make Taliban Afghanistan look like child's play".
Guardian Unlimited Special reports US envoy to Iraq: 'We have opened the Pandora's box': "An opinion poll published by the Washington Post and ABC News yesterday suggested that most Americans agreed with Mr Khalilzad - with 80% saying civil war in Iraq was likely, and more than a third that it was very likely. More than half thought the US should start withdrawing its troops, although only one in six wanted all troops to be withdrawn immediately."

Bush Lies

ON THE DAY before Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, federal emergency officials warned President Bush that the hurricane could be "the big one," the storm the region had long feared; that the Superdome, the shelter of last resort in New Orleans, was below sea level and might well lose its roof; that medical and mortuary teams might not be prepared; and that the levees might not hold back the floodwaters. Mr. Bush, speaking during a videoconference, a tape of which was obtained by the Associated Press, responded by reassuring state officials that "we are fully prepared."
Caught on Tape: "It also should tell the nation something about the value of leadership. The Gulf Coast might have suffered less had the president just asked a few people the right questions."

Bush, Chertoff Warned Before Katrina - Yahoo! News

Bush didn't ask a single question during the final briefing before Katrina struck on Aug. 29, but he assured soon-to-be-battered state officials: "We are fully prepared."
Tape: Bush, Chertoff Warned Before Katrina - Yahoo! News: "In dramatic and sometimes agonizing terms, federal disaster officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could breach levees, put lives at risk in New Orleans' Superdome and overwhelm rescuers, according to confidential video footage.
