2. So Abramoff is indicted . . .
How about Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist? Are they still being investigated? Are they indictable?

4. Republicans make me sick
Wrapping themselves in the flag and carrying a cross when all the while they know they are intent on fucking the public and amassing huge personal wealth.

6. Abramoff, DeLay, Ney, Cunningham and hopefully next is
Doolittle! Hypocritical little self-righteous Morman trwerp who denounces gambling on the one hand, avoid the draft for being a "minister" - a big lie, and takes money from indian tribes with casinos to get the Interior Dept to deny Indian status to a competing tribes who want casinos. And, his wife takes 15% of income for fund raising for Doolittle earning the family $150K this year on top of his Congressional Salary. What a Pig!

Placer County, CA - wake vote this creep out! Vote for Charlie Brown - military vet, moderate Democrat

Disclosure: I have no affiliation with the Brown campaign - I live in Doolittle's district and I am thoroughly disgusted by him. That's all.

8. Forced abortions!
I had forgotten that Tan and others supported by Delay and Abramoff forced their workers to sign a contract saying that if they got pregnant they would have an abortion.

Next sign at protests: No more Republican forced abortions! The Christian right won't understand or care about the intricacies of labor issues, but they'll sure care about forced abortions.

12. ARMPAC!! There was a guy from ARM who busted up a coalition
Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 09:30 PM by patrice
effort here a few years ago. Some Social Justice groups were trying to figure out how to work together and this guy just kept throwing a monkey wrench in the works every time we met. It ate up too much time and we eventually gave up.

He also tried to cause trouble in our Dean For America meetup mailing list. I called him out, because he never showed up to do any work anywhere.

Probably not the same group, he said his group was the American Renaissance Movement.

28. It's never been about making good policy.
They don't believe in government, remember? The only role of government is to enrich them and their buddies.

38. EVERYBODY needs to see this.
Proves the point once again: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The panel at the end of the show talking about how it's the worst corruption they've ever seen.

39. I'm taping it and watched the first hour plus. I'm speechless,
honestly. Every christian who sees that might think twice, and repug also. Anyone! The thought-out manipulation is mind-bending.
