Will someone explain something to me?

If the Democrats hold a majority in congress by one person and that one person is Joe Lieberman, do they really hold a majority or any power?

I keep hearing the spineless democrats and I sort of understand it but if Lieberman is voting republican does this not mean that the democrats really do not have the ability to change much If the republican ranks remain tight can the Democrats really have an impact, even if the want to?

Please help me understand this

McClellan has clearly implicated his people, I beg your pardon.  While there is a certain amount of coyness around the edges—as publishers are wont to do when money is waiting for them—there is no doubt what McClellan is charging.

You don’t make this kind of charge, then retreat into ambiguity.  Not at people this high up, not at the president. 

This tease tells me that this book will lay everything out....

and the White House is very quiet.

This is an example of an American who would prefer to put his/her head in the sand and pretend nothing is happening. Typical of most Americans. Sad, because this type of thinking allows REAL criminals to get away with murder, literally!
Imagine if everyone thought the same of murderers, or for that matter murderous paedophiles, that got away with their crimes! Why prosecute them after time has passed and have not been caught! We might as well say “since we’ve not caught them is the time to let bygones be bygones!”
The difference here is that Bush and co. are not only guilty of crimes they are accused of, but they’re continuing their criminal activities as I write this!!!
What a shitty country America is, and the majority of its people!

Why is John Edwards Angry and Hostile?

I don’t think it has much to do with this campaign.

He is angry and frustrated because he should have been vice president and resents the minor role he had to play in the Kerry campaign that was poorly managed. And now it looks like he won’t make it again, this time to the Presidency.

He is angry about his wife’s cancer and its return - both of them and their family are facing an unpleasant future. Can you blame him?

To attack a sitting senator as being part of the corporate takeover of our government is ridiculous. As a former senator he allowed the corporations to take over. Who paid for his first campaign. Who is providing money for this campaign?

What a joke. If it wasn’t for the fact that so many young men and woman let alone real innocent Iraqi men women and children have been murdered by these bastards, I might laugh at all the finger pointing. The spineless Democrats are the worst of the lot, to my way of thinking. All, except a very few, go to hell along with this sociopathic administration. The thought police will be after me very soon I’m sure.

Now is the time to let bygones be bygones!
The Iraq war brought about many complicated subjects and mixed felings in and abroad.  Whether that was due to misjudgement and/or misiformation, today’s situation in and abroad in conjunction with the war shows by itself.  The incumbent would like to vindicate its honor injured in and abroad coping with time and timing; however, time can only tell the results - how will it an end between prologue and epilog....

I stand with Frank (#114812 by Frank on 11/20 at 7:16 pm ) which means that my point of view is the same as his.
TO ME, this guy made a living out of LYING on the record everyday and facing millions over the telecast, LYING in front of about a minimum of 20 people in the hall, and that he called HIS JOB. NOW that he’s no longer employed and no longer making money out of lying he wants to have himself DECLARED an INNOCENT, with the same modus operendi as Mr Colin Powell, who also CLAIMS “INNOCENCE” after having LIED in the UN (in a way he addressed about 4 billion people).
So i guess this is a new disease of the AGE, LIE all the TIME to make money and to kill others and later throw yourself at the people CLAIMING INNOCENCE and CLAIMING not being informed. and then wait till the next opportunity arises when you can lie again and make some more money, the last pardon gets you the next job.
THIS IS 2007, everything is out there, these people employed in the inner circles of the Govt definately had the means to find out through small talk with peers and they must have done that when it was all going down BUT after their money making period as LIARS now they wish to be declared “INNOCENT” on the basis of their LYING WORDS.

EXCEPT for the very RARE ( 6% max) MISINFORMED or LESS-INFORMED people of North America, MOST knew what was going on and they were FINE & DANDY with it and that is why the game has been such a success so far. There is no way that these people who were with in the folds of the govt and did not know what lies and games were being played or planned. FOR ME all INNOCENTS are definately not worth litsenning to, its just that they LIED before to make many and now they are LYING to save grace and be declared Innocent so that next similar job does become possible.

More proof that everything this bunch has said is a lie.  What will the Democrats do about it?  My guess is nothing.

But the democrats will probably do nothing about it. Nixon would be proud because Bush got away with it and he Nixon got impeached. Obstruction of justice is just the latest crime committed by Bush which includes torture,crimes against humanity,war crimes, violating the U S constitution,violating the Geneva Convention,illegal wiretaps.looting the US and Iraqi treasuries,and pardoning criminals to cover up his own crimes. But I believe Bush will get away with this also. Instead of building a presidential library for him . they should be building a presidential jail for the day he and Cheney leave office.

Oh Please Scott.What a surprise you as Press Secretary were use to send out bullshit.What an earth shattering revelation.The question becomes why the Washington press corp took your bullshit and turned it out as news.Cover your own ass Scotty.Read the Nuremberg transcripts they were only following orders also.

Fuck him! Don’t buy it and don’t read it. He lied DAILY and not one so-called journalist tried to get him to tell the truth because they are complicit..... it’s no different from McNamara letting good men die in Vietnam and waiting till now to write how fucking sorry he is........

Imagine my surprise, the whole world knows that from the top down the US gov is filled with cowards, traitors and pathological liars, and if anyone there had any backbone they would be hauled off to Guantanamo, where they will not be tortured cos’ the US doesn’t torture, and they wouldn’t be allowed to see the charges or evidence against themselves, because that would compromise national security, come back stalin all is forgiven.

Other than that I have no strong feelings either way.

Pelosi, Hoyer, Hello!! (sounds of empty night and crickets)

The only advantage of having professional victims for political adversaries: once caught, they squeal like a pig.
BTW: Who ghost-writes this garbage?  It has the elegance of a high school term paper…
