Bush's war

Things are happening.

Harry Reid vows to force a real filibuster so the Repubs can't finesse votes on withdrawal measures.

Republican Voinovich says Bush "fu**ed up" the war.

In the midst of the disaster, a possible call for still more troops.

At least 75 killed by truck bomb.

Mission accomplished, right?

Good for Harry Reid. I've not been happy with this deal they've worked out where it takes 60 votes to pass any bill and there are no real filibusters. They need to force more filibusters. This country has serious problems and we need to get serious about solutions.

Tomorrow is a very important weather vane day. It might tell us which way the wind is blowing. The vote to restore Habeas Corpus is tomorrow. As usual Arkansas's Senators are included in the not so good group.

The following Democratic Senators have still not signed up to cosponsor the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act of 2007:

* Daniel Akaka (D-HI)
* Max Baucus (D-MT)
* Evan Bayh (D-IN)
* Robert Casey (D-PA)
* Kent Conrad (D-ND)
* Byron Dorgan (D-ND)
* Daniel Inouye (D-HI)
* Tim Johnson (D-SD)
* Herb Kohl (D-WI)
* Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
* Blanche Lincoln (D-AR)
* Barbara Mikulski (D-MD)
* Patty Murray (D-WA)
* Ben Nelson (D-NE)
* Mark Pryor (D-AR)
* Jack Reed (D-RI)
* Charles Schumer (D-NY)
* Jon Tester (D-MT)
* James Webb (D-VA)
* Ron Wyden (D-OR)

Why do those senators who took an oath to protect and defend the constitution..

treat it like a GD piece of paper?

Here we are wondering against all hope or reason if our Senators might just vote in a post 12th century manner..

Blanche has been correct on this before, but I still worry when I don't see her name as a cosponsor at this point in the process... Mark prefers the madness of King Cheney and should be voted out of office for that alone.. no excuses

ARDEMGAZ letter of the day:

It's time for Americans to stop seeing the Iraqi war as a payback for 9/11 that should be over. The war and 9/11 are about Islamists' agenda to take down everyone who is not their blood. It knows no borders, needs no passports, is worse than Adolf Hitler's atrocities and communism.

George W. Bush is a godly president who sees the horsemen coming and wants to join with other countries to hold them off and keep our children and their children safe as long as possible. We need to get out from behind our Game Boys, TVs, cell phones, parties and drugs and face the fact that our president needs his people to stand with him.

War is coming to our shores. There is no stopping it. Our president is trying to hold it back as long as he can, and if we don't get another who will do the same, it's over for our children and theirs. We have left God as a people just as his people did once before, and look at what happened to them. Their land lay desolateand they were enslaved. We won't even have the enslavement because Islamists want us and other countries dead. They see only their own blood as worthy.

Instead of building fortresses and bringing to them illegal arms, we should be fighting for our God, family and country the legal and right way. We should pray for each other and our president. He stands against the forces that are coming. Will we see that too late?

BARBARA JONES Benton

Someone needs to arrest Barbara Jone's bootlegger. Clearly she has gotten into a rotten batch of hooch and ruined her brain. Anyone tested the water in Benton County lately?

Oh. My. God. Mojo dips us in Koolaid.

If the war is coming to our shores shouldn't we all be vacationing at Hilton Head with our deer rifles and shopping bags, for America.. If she thinks the next attack will be on our shores then is she doing in NW AR? whimp.

Awfully scary when one can't differentiate the voices in their head..
Clearly, not all of them are God..


Quite the find Mojo.

DBI - Any updated Habeas Corpus lists I can find today now show Lincoln and Pryor as supportive of restoration.. (does this qualify as a small miracle?)

How high up in the WalMart corporate headquarters is Ms. Barbara Jones?
Oh, what you say?, she is the one responsible for WalMarts latest campaign - "Falling Intelligence".
Ah, now I get it.

Stop the presses! Pryor voted aye to advance the Levin-Reed amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill.
