These are the Spineless Democrats You Elected

Today, the Senate voted for a measure to censure the MoveOn.org General Betray Us ad in the New York Times, 72-25. So much for winning the majority, right Democrats? A year later, we’re still knee-deep in this piece of shit war and the most legislation that can get passed is for censoring a group for FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Anyway, you have these 21 Democrats to thank for this wonderful waste of time:

Baucus (D-MT)
Bayh (D-IN)
Cardin (D-MD)
Carper (D-DE)
Casey (D-PA)
Conrad (D-ND)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Johnson (D-SD)
Klobuchar (D-MN)
Kohl (D-WI)
Landrieu (D-LA)
Leahy (D-VT)
Lincoln (D-AR)
McCaskill (D-MO)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Nelson (D-FL)
Nelson (D-NE)
Pryor (D-AR)
Salazar (D-CO)
Tester (D-MT)
Webb (D-VA)

Because 2 out of 11 isn’t bad, right?

If you ever wonder about Fox News editorial objectivity, look no further than today’s politics page on the Fox News website, pictured below:

Of the 11 stories, I counted 4 negative stories on Democrats (Did the New York Times’ MoveOn deal break the law?, Feds to indict Norman Hsu in $60 scheme for donations to Democrats – this was also the front page story entitled ‘Dirty Dem’, Bad Medicine – Mitt Romney slams Hilary Clinton’s health care plan, Hilary Wants to Change Our Country). Compare this to the 2 negative Republican articles (one of which is actually just a video of minority leader Boehner refuting Democratic charges for 3 minutes) and the two positive Republican stories (Safe at Home? on Bush urging Congress for permanent expansion of electronic surveillance and the article on the Republican primary in Florida, Romney slamming Hilary’s health plan).

So, to recap on the Fox News politics page: 4 negative stories on Democrats, 0 positive stories on Democrats, 3 positive stories on Republicans, and 1.5 negative stories on Republicans.

My Rep Keeps It Real

In an interview with Tikkun, a California-based Jewish magazine, Moran said the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is “the most powerful lobby and has pushed [the Iraq] war from the beginning. I don’t think they represent the mainstream of American Jewish thinking at all, but because they are so well organized, and their members are extraordinarily powerful — most of them are quite wealthy — they have been able to exert power.” […]

“The problem with addressing the groups who have argued strongly in favor of a long-term American military presence in the Middle East is that they raise arguments that are not related to the point,” Moran said. “I would like to have a reasonable, objective discussion about AIPAC’s foreign policy agenda. But it’s difficult to do that because any time you question their motives, you are accused of being anti-Semitic.”

Jim Moran, Democratic representative from Virginia

And of course, don’t forget the response: anti-semite! Jew hater! Holocaust denier! Nazi!

Because of course, when you disagree with Israel or it’s agents in Washington, you’re an anti-semite.

Popery and Hijinks

Your favorite pope is here once again laying it down hard and in your face with the truth of it all. I spend my days split between running for more than 5% of the G.O.P. primary vote and reading all the national news worth reading. Now why would your Pope go and do that for you? The answer is obvious…I read the news so you don’t have to, then you come here and read what I think is important.

It’s an amazing system isn’t it…

Blackwater USA is finally out of Iraq for shooting the shit out of too many civilians; this time the Iraqi government stood the fuck up. The 9/11 truthies need to get their shiny aluminum thinkin’ caps on cause here’s another political tie-in for your conspiracy puzzle. While the truthies get their story, greens are denied this week in California versus Big Auto with a major wimp out citing “it’s just too complicated for the courts”. After six years of threats and bluster about terror, terrorism, and terroristical tendencies President Bush threatens to veto a bill that actually addresses the impacts of terror. That wilily president…if you look one way, he moves another. He’s like a cheetah, a sexy drunk cheetah. ACLU is out there protecting the rights of sex crazed perverts. Funny how republicans only care about civil rights when it helps them. Human decency seems to only be a facet of bleeding heart liberals, but then again…Who the hell needs Madonna discussing Middle Eastern Peace as a photo op? This dried up wrinkled old cum dumpster only moved to England because America got tired of her saggy ass breasts and fake accent. And in other news no one cares about, a soldier takes a stand against a dangerous vaccine, and is screwed for it. And our affair with OJ gets a shot of love juice.

My friends of friends, expect more terror, bombs, killings, erosions of civil liberties, and at least one celebrity death. President Bush will continue to insist he is “more gooder” while everyone else is “more badder”. And don’t ever forget, if you’re not scared shitless every day of islamofacisimadeupaword, you’re unamerican.

Here’s your Pope signing off, and sending out.

See you on the trail to 2008.
