Democratically Controlled Congress Stands on the Brink of Irrelevance on Iraq

Write your congressperson!

AlterNet: War on Iraq: Democratically Controlled Congress Stands on the Brink of Irrelevance on Iraq: "The Democrats are reacting to this charade by conceding the battle before it begins, with Michigan's Carl Levin offering to remove a deadline from the amendment he and Jack Reed, D-R.I., co-sponsored (the deadline was already riddled with loopholes) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid offering to 'compromise' with Senate Republicans by dropping his already watered-down demand for a spring 'withdrawal.'"

Democrats Are Their Own Worst Enemy

Where are the leaders when you need them? This piece makes a good point about spineless Democrats.

Right-Wing Judicial Activism Runs Amok

Democrats when they were the minority party spinelessly gave the Bush administration whatever it wanted. In the war on Iraq, energy policy, prescription prices that cannot be negotiated..... But the biggest legacy is the packing of the Supreme Court with loyal Bushie right wing neocons. It was my biggest fear and it has come to pass. My children and yours will suffer for a generation because the Democrats were spineless.

Rights for students and workers have been taken away and given to religious and corporate entities.

AlterNet: WorkPlace: Right-Wing Judicial Activism Runs Amok

From the article:

"Congressional Democrats never stood up to Bush's far-right judicial nominees. With this week's decisions, Americans are reaping what their lack of back-bone sowed."

German prosecutors want CIA agents extradited

"U.S. officials privately describe the Munich prosecutors' call as an annoyance in German-U.S. relations."

An annoyance? Exactly who are these "U.S. officials" and why are they still "U.S. officials" after this statement.

How would our government react if a U.S. citizen were kidnapped and tortured by Germany? We have NO credibility thanks to our incompetent, lieing, two-faced government headed by "King Cheney" and "Bush the Fool". Hey Democrats, do you plan to do anything or just sit around with your thumbs up your butts? With a few exceptions, lets remove ALL incumbents and get representation that DOES SOMETHING RIGHT for a change!!!! Throw the incompetent, lobby kissing, pork grabbing do-nothing bums out.

I admire the Germans and Italians for trying to uphold the law. The quote "all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Where are the "good men" in our government.

Reading the news is so frustratingly maddening.

The Democrats don't deserve a vacation

I will vote against anyone who voted for Iraq funding without timelines. How about a little backbone legislators? On the first bill I asked the progressives to compromise but with Bush it's all or nothing. The time for compromise has passed and the Dems caved in with another blank check.

Dems caving in again

This is not what we want. Send him the same bill over and over again, with timelines. I'll be looking at the votes on this and will vote out anyone who votes for this bill.
