boy, I'm sure glad we took back the senate last year.

[ulysses]

How else could we have had the chance to block the nomination as Attorney General of a man who can't admit that a technique invented by the Spanish Inquisition is torture? Yay, us!

[MuseRider]

1. Stunner isn't it? n/t

[ulysses]

3. and hey, Feinstein has promised to ask more questions after his confirmation!

Whee! This being in power thing is fun!

[MuseRider]

9. Is she that

stoopid or am I? That makes no damned sense at all. She can't possibly trust anyone this administration wants can she? I know she gets a lot from the MIC but surely she knows....surely

[ulysses]

15. I don't think a lack of knowing is the issue.

[Capn Sunshine]

28. Her advisors are DLC right down the line

and the DLC favors a unitary executive and torture, only they want it done by a Democrat so ultimately, everyone is dirty.

[ulysses]

30. I suspect we won't see much of the DLC crew tonight.

They tend to be conspicuous by their absence after fuckups like this.

[MuseRider]

33. I just don't

know what to do anymore. I believed so long in this party but dropped out after the Alito vote. I don't want to vote 3rd party, I don't want to sit it out but I can't believe this is happening. Write in Dem I guess and feel at least like it was something of a vote. I do NOT want a unitary executive no matter who it is. It seems a pretty name for King or Queen (a pretty name for dictator). *sigh* Maybe I am just too tired tonight but this is getting to me.

[monmouth]

2. Yeah, it really is a joke, I notice the repugs mention it all of the time and they're right...

[ulysses]

4. you mean the part where they tremble at the thought that the Dems might

actually say "boo!" once in a while?

[monmouth]

20. LOL. Who is that adorable baby??? What a cutie....

[ulysses]

21. I should really update that avatar.

Here he is earlier this week. :)

[monmouth]

26. Oh, the girls are going to be after him. He's precious. I have two grown..I miss those days.

[monmouth]

27. Yes, and how we can't seem to accomplish anything. No spines..

[ThomCat]

5. Tell me again

how getting the majority by any means necessary is enough. Convince me that we don't need to be so concerned about policing WHO we put into office. x(

Gotta love "moderates."

(obviously, not directed at you, Ulysses.)

[ulysses]

6. personally, I welcome our donkey overlords.

[ThomCat]

8. I prefer to call them the more accurate name, "Jack Asses."

x(

[MuseRider]

11. !

:hug: I so love you Thom. You just cut right to the chase.

I know it isn't funny but that was really perfect.

[ThomCat]

13. !

You're awesome too! :hug:

:loveya:

[MuseRider]

16. I'm trying

to organize an NYC trip next year. You, me, Bill and johnnyblitz? Look out Olive Garden!

OK, no more thread jacking for me, sorry Ully. :loveya: right back Thom!

[ulysses]

17. oh hell, I'm not worried about threadjacking.

:hi:

[MuseRider]

18. Good.

:hi: Hows the kiddo? Cute little guy he is. I bet he has grown into a very active toddler. Give him a squeeze for me.

[ulysses]

22. put a new picture of him in #21.

See, I'm jacking my own thread. :D

[MuseRider]

32. Oh my he is adorable!

I love that age. I miss my two, 21 and 23. They get home fairly often now but in a couple of years they will be across the country. Enjoy him. It looks like the pumpkin carving was pretty exciting :).

[jgraz]

7. Newsflash: "We" didn't take back anything last year

As long as stealth Repigs like DiFi hold their seats, the people haven't won shit.

[ulysses]

12. no, no, you're just not understanding the third way!

It's, like, jiu jitsu - you must use the opponent's energy against him, grasshopper, and deflect it so that he suddenly moves in the way in which you want him to move. That or he repeatedly kicks your ass. Either way, thank god we blocked Mukasey! Yay, us!

[Jane Austin]

10. I'm sorry DiFi and Schumer were sent by California and NY.

Surely there are better people than that in those great states.

[Capn Sunshine]

24. so you'd think

on the flip, there's Hillary and Barbara
ButDamned if I know who's caLling the tune in DiFi and Chuck's camp.

[flpoljunkie]

14. Very well said, ulysses!

[mzmolly]

19. Hopefully we'll be in a position to nominate AG's before too long.

:(

[Capn Sunshine]

29. And they will be better HOW?

If Dems are voting for these idiots....

[mzmolly]

35. SOME Dems are voting y, but surely a Democratic President would select different nominees than Bush.

And the Supreme Court is an even greater consideration in the coming years.

[KoKo]

23. You forget the most important thing! The "Loony Left" didn't get the Dems back in power!

:rofl:

[Capn Sunshine]

25. Yeah, isn't it "looney" to be against torture and for the Constitution?

I mean, in this day and age? Didn't those notions go out with FDR's antiquated views?

[tnlefty]

31. Me, too!! It makes the capitulation look even bigger and badder!

WooHoo, what a hoot, huh? :thumbsup:

Your son is adorable, and there is no sarcasm or smart assyiness in that statement! :hi:

[rhett o rick]

34. Face it, we have a one party system. nm

[ulysses]

36. yup.

[IndianaGreen]

37. We didn't count on the Torture Wing of the Democratic Party to support Bush

We also have the War Wing, the Vichy Wing, and them Blue Dogs.

[TwilightGardener]

38. Well, at least we get some entertaining fake fights and investigations that liven up the news cycles

before Chimpy ends up taking all the chips as usual.

[rhett o rick]

39. Right on totally. nm
