Political Suicide

Published by at 10:11 am under All General Discussions

The Dems plan on holding revenge-style investigations

OK – it’s their two years to screw up as they please. But I can tell you independents have no interest in more partisan BS. Either lead, follow or get out of the way. No more stupid politician tricks – no matter how much Moore and Streisand enjoy them. The rest of us have lives to live and want some results.

    An energy task force overseen by Cheney. It “was carefully cooked to provide only participation by oil companies and energy companies,” Dingell said.

    Yeah, I never could figure out why you would want “energy” companies to participate in an “energy” taskforce. (sarcasm off)

    Seriously, AJ, it will come as a pleasant surprise if the Dems take advantage of their newly found power to seek common ground and try to get some constructive things done. I’m not holding my breath — it’s just not who they are.

    I don’t expect too much of the democrats. Their track racord is not good. Besides, the internectine war going on inside their party will throw members in all directions. One thing is, we cannot count on the intelligence and good will for the country on these people. They are party firsters.

    And as far as dumb dumb Dingell goes, it is better to have on a task force members who have no idea of the topic being investigated? This is the democrat idea. Put your cohorts and followers on all committees and see the donnybrook that results. This is why democrats have no ideas and can get nothing resolved. They are all about money and power and nothing else.

    The Supreme court has already ruled that the Energy committee was executive dept info and did not have to be shared with Congress. As usual, it’s what part of NO don’t they understand.

    Seriously, if anyone is conducting business that ‘should’ be public, then it should be. But every Dept and committee has some things that can only be done efficiently in closed sessions.

    The Dems have 2 purposes: make Repubs look bad and win next pres. elect. Well, I guess you could say that of the Repubs also.

    I don’t expect anything substantive of the Dems. they don’t have enough class.

    I can’t imagine that Hillary Clinton will be happy about two years of investigations. If the Dems do that the Rep Senate will block everything and anything in that comes from the House – nothing will be done. The distractions will lead to an opening by the terrorists – which means an attack will be likely.

    Now let’s see the Dems run in 2008 with the campaign promise – see how much we screwed up the Congress give us more power to screw up everything!!! Build your bomb shelters since the Dems won’t protect us and Iranian missiles will be flying into the country.

    The left wing of the Dems may as well become members of Al Qaeda since they have the same purpose – destroy America.

    Strictly a political question.
    I remember a few years ago there was a lot of discussion about the name of the Democrat Party.
    At the time, it was proven that they were registered as the Democrat Party..

    Now they are all claiming it is the Democratic Party. The web site has it this way.
    When or did they officially change the name of the party?

    Now they are all claiming it is the Democratic Party.

    FE, you must be listening to Rush too. I’ve always called them the Democrat Party, primarily because they are anything but democratic, but also because I love the way it pisses them off. There was some guy on here a few months ago who was all bent out of shape over the issue.

    To the contrary, Strata, independents wish the two party system to
    collapse and to the degree exposiong corruption assists that, bring it on!
