His district did reelect him. It’s an affront to them that his committee assignments were taken away before, and Homeland Security makes sense in that FEMA has had a big impact on the district.

Silly me =P.

Funny, coming from someone who pocked option #1.

Democrat-led Congress drafts legislation. Democrat-led Congress votes on legislation. Democrat-led Congress passes legislation. President Bush vetoes legislation. Failing to see where Democrats didn’t do their jobs here.

At least, tThat wasn’t as bad as your specious arguments in favor of AlGore’s enviro-hysteria BS.

I’m just sayin’.

It was more than that. Pelosi promised to ‘drain the swamp’ and part of that would be to break the link between lobbyists and legislation. They couldn’t round up the votes for this $124 billion boondoggle so they started offering treats to those on the fence like people would to kids on Halloween and I’m sure lobbyists had something to do with it unless Popeye was hanging around the Speakers office pleading for her to help spinach farmers. That has nothing to do with the GOP.

The GOP also isn’t responsible for the Democrats offering William “The Freezer” Jefferson a plum spot on the Homeland Security Committee. One would think that the people who squawked “culture of corruption” at every turn would think that taking bribes just might disqualify somebody from having access to top secret information. Apparently that is not the case.

Congress has passed close to all of this, and their potential failures will be a result of Bush’s vetoes or Republican obstructionism, not some kind of fault on the Democrats.

The Democrats control Congress and yet you’re already blaming their failures on President Bush and the GOP. Congratulations. You’re a pro at buck passing.

I could care less how it affects the 2008 elections. I just find it satisfying because having been involved with politics closely for 15 years, I knew much wouldn’t change. I just didn’t think you guys would start defending such nonsense so quickly.

Well, it isn’t no Shangri-Fucking-La but its kinda nice to see those arcane mechanisms like transparency in Government and oversight of the executive branch come back into vouge.
Poor Dubya’s going to have to dust off the veto pen for more than saving snowflake babies. This time it’ll be for saving his own sorry ass.

(It’s shaped like an ass. Not even a nice ass, but a plug-ugly, cottage-cheese cellulite-ridden ass)

Oh yeah, here we go:

HARRUMMMPH: “Well, you know Pew is hardly a non-partisan poll! Look at the poll statistics, the interview techniques, the profiles!”

Oooh, I gotta take this asshat off. It is STIFLING in here!!

The Democrats promised implementation of the 9/11 Commission recommendations, increasing the minimum wage, increasing student loan access, ending mass-profit loopholes for energy companies, and setting goals to bring American troops back home from Iraq. Congress has passed close to all of this, and their potential failures will be a result of Bush’s vetoes or Republican obstructionism, not some kind of fault on the Democrats.

Your argument that “Democrats are no different” is basically saying “Democrats said they’d make things better, but Republicans have worked to stop them from making things better… look at how bad Democrats are!” and I really fail to see that appealing to voters come 2008.

Saying “Democrats promised they’d be better than Republicans but in some ways are just as bad as Republicans” isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of Republicans now, is it?

Rex: Spot Terry 9/11 Schiavo On!

Rheinhard, I understand how DC works. The thing is, guys like Oliver and other bloggers, talking heads, pundits, etc were for the last year, lecturing everybody how it would be so much different once the Democrats took over. The Democrats promised that as well. Apparently, that is not the case.

There’s no reason to get worked up about it because as you say it’s pretty much a standard practice, but it just shows the finger wagging was all sizzle and no steak.

But overall, compared to the amount of treasure and blood we’ve already spent in Iraq, if this is what it takes to at least start the process of getting out, it’s cheap at the price.

“This is the beginning of a Democratic opportunity,” said Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. “The question is whether we blow it or not.”

Well, tying $25 million for spinach farmers, $74 million for peanut storage and $5 million for tropical fish to an Iraq War bill is not exactly the best way to move forward.

I love the way that right-wing rhetoric has nudged it’s way into even the language of “liberal” newspapers. I think what they mean to say is “support for reactionary ‘conservative’ family values has edged down.”
