    More Damn Cut and Run Democrats:

    Newt Gingrich, the former Republican Speaker of the House, told students and faculty at the University of South Dakota Monday that the United States should pull out of Iraq and leave a small force there, just as it did post-war in Korea and Germany.

    “It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003,” Gingrich said during a question-and-answer session at the school. “We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it.”

    Why is McGavick staying away from Stevens? After all, he apparently wants to be a Senator from that state:

    “Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, the leading proponent of drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and other powerful Alaskans, including the former Democratic governor, are hosting a campaign fund-raising event April 13 for McGavick in Anchorage.”

    Can’t figure out why you so casually call a democratically elected president of a nation “fascist”. I guess that is the word of the year to all the unimaginative. Does Darcy condone your use of such language?

    It seems to me that the dems would be better off coming up with ideas and policies. Teddy running out and saying we are all immigrants isn’t a policy or idea. It is just nonsense. I’m not an immigrant. Nothing wrong with those that are. But to make such remarks just means he is playing to the crowd.

    Proof that the dems have no ideas – JDB has to quote Newt. Maybe the repubs should just have an internal discussion and ignore the other half the country that can’t seem to think.

    Tom DeLay To Pursue Corruption In Private Sector

    STAFFORD, TX—Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who is facing several ethics violations and felony charges, announced Tuesday that he will resign from Congress in order to concentrate on corruption in the private sector. “I can say with a clear lack of conscience that, after 21 years of public disservice, I have done everything I could to the American people,” DeLay said in a televised statement to constituents. “I have a lot to offer the corporate world, such as money laundering and influence-peddling.” DeLay added that, before assuming his new irresponsibilities, he looks forward to spending more time alienating his family and cheating on his wife.

    THE LEAK PROBE: IT’S ABOUT BUSH AND CHENEY LIES

    “WASHINGTON, April 10 — From the early days of the C.I.A. leak investigation in 2003, the Bush White House has insisted there was no effort to discredit Joseph C. Wilson IV, the man who emerged as the most damaging critic of the administration’s case that Saddam Hussein was seeking to build nuclear weapons.

    “But now White House officials, and specifically President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, have been pitched back into the center of the nearly three-year controversy … because of a prosecutor’s court filing … that asserts there was ‘strong desire’ … to undermine Mr. Wilson. …

    “Mr. Fitzgerald’s filing talks not of an effort to level with Americans but of ‘a plan to discredit, punish or seek revenge against Mr. Wilson.’ It concludes, ‘It is hard to conceive of what evidence there could be that would disprove the existence of White House efforts to “punish Wilson.”‘ …

    “Even on Monday, Mr. Bush found himself in an uncomfortable spot during an appearance at a Johns Hopkins University campus in Washington, when a student asked him to address Mr. Fitzgerald’s assertion that the White House was seeking to retaliate against Mr. Wilson. Mr. Bush stumbled as he began his response before settling on an answer that sidestepped the question. … Mr. Bush said nothing about the earlier, informal authorization that Mr. Fitzgerald’s court filing revealed … on Monday, Mr. Bush was not talking about that. …

    “It is now clear that Mr. Fitzgerald’s account of what was happening in the White House in the summer of 2003 is very different from the Bush administration’s narrative … much of the information about Mr. Hussein’s search for uranium was questionable at best ….

    “Mr. Fitzgerald did not identify who took part in the White House effort to argue otherwise, but the evidence he has cited so far shows that Mr. Cheney’s office was the epicenter of concern about Mr. Wilson …. Throughout the spring and early summer of 2003, Mr. Fitzgerald concluded, the former ambassador had become an irritant to the administration, raising doubts about the truthfulness of assertions — made publicly by Mr. Bush in his State of the Union address in January of that year — that Iraq might have sought uranium in Africa to further its nuclear ambitions. Mr. Wilson’s criticisms … in a July 6, 2003, Op-Ed article in The Times … , Mr. Fitzgerald said in the filing, ‘was viewed in the Office of the Vice President as a direct attack on the credibility of the vice president (and the president) on a matter of signal importance: the rationale for the war in Iraq.’ Mr. Fitzgerald suggested that the White House effort was a ‘plan’ to undermine Mr. Wilson.”

    Of course, Mark the Welsher sees no problem with Bush leaking classified information to prop up his lies! According to welsher, Bush has the same prerogatives as a king:

    ““Ummm…. if the President says it… it’s not a “leak”. A “leak” is disclosing information without authorization. Since the President is the boss, it is by definition not a leak since he can authorize whatever the fuck he wants.

    Roger-the “cheap labor” meme doesn’t hold up with those repubs who are proposing a way to legalize those who are here. If the illegals are allowed a way out of the shadows that doesn’t involve making them felons, then they can be free to offer their services at the market rate. Now, underground, they have no bargaining power.

    I’m trying to figure out the whole cheap labor thing. Some of the highest paid hourly workers are at MSFT and Costco, neither of which are union, and neither required to pay more than minimum wage. So why do they? Because they aren’t stupid. You pay what is required to keep good people.

    Of course, Roger, as a former lifetime govt employee, you have no exposure to this type of environment, so I wouldn’t expect you to understand.

    Actully Bush won both if you were to take out all the fraudulent votes. A donks worse nightmare would be to actually clean up the voter registrations.

    Comment by headless Lucy— 4/11/06@ 3:45 pm

    Headless Lucy is the truth being purge out of our library system in the name of political correctness. Lucy you know if a book is not check out of the library system it is replace by another book. The purpose is they do not have enough shelf space in the libraries. These books are sold to the many use book resellers, and are bought by the reading public. Now that book sets on their bookshelves for many years and after the die are sold estate sales. Now these books are use as decorative items in some restaurants or furniture stores. Before they go on display, they glue all the books together making them useless to read. The subject matter has no real reason to discard them, but if teachers do not encourage their students to read, the books are not check out. That is the first stage of the crime committed. The public should be aware of the many different views and the teacher cannot be the filter. The second crime is the Librarian who does not provide the information to the student when inquiring about the subject matter. The Third crime is the Folks who run the library system and provides little or no storage space for these books. The reseller has not committed a crime unless they sell them to a glue factory. Lucy I discover this bit of information when the Gulf War started, and I was doing research on desert warfare, this book reseller explained how bookshelves were being purge. Now that sounds a little like the 30’s in Germany when folks were burning books in the streets. When you hoard or destroy information, you are doing humanity an injustice and history repeats itself. Lucy I do not have a crystal ball and what is going to happen in 06 is the least of my worries or fears.

    Donnageddon not all those friends of yours that the military is killing today are terrorists, and they want to have tea and cake with you on Friday? Iraq is a killing ground for terrorists not a love fest for a bunch of Viet Nam era hippies. The reason for invading Iraq is to clear out any threats that existed before the (1992) War, and remove your friends that Jim McDermott supported. Donnageddon the Middle East has change for the good but to explain that to you and your friends would be a waste of time. We that’s including myself went to that part of the world to make a positive change without your support and expect non-today. When the War resume in 2002 with the invasion of Iraq you were silent, now that the challenges are getting tough we hear you crying. The War on terror for our side exceeds 5000 people dead, many more wounded or maimed, and now you want to cut and run like cowards.

    re 27: Why should Black people feel embarrassed to be associated with watermelons? Looks like your own pre-conceptions are at work here. Have you ever seen the old BB King album where he has Lucille plugged into a watermelon?
    Commentby headless lucy— 4/11/06@ 8:02 pm
    The reference to the use of watermelons, is the Southern Slaves were familiar with American crops introduced by Africans include peanuts, black-eyed peas, pumpkins, sesame seeds, kola nuts, cotton, yams, sorghum, muskmelons, and watermelons. These crops were produced mainly by African and African American labor and added incalculably to the wealth and economic development of both Americas and Europe. Folks who want you to refer that you are still working for the master and that is your food of choice using the term loosely. The food was also their source nourishment and the products where a part of their culture. Hollywood and comedians used it as a way of insulting Blacks

    1. . also have a few questions:
    1) Why do books sets on their bookshelves?
    JDB after you read a book you introduce it to your own personal library, and that is where it sets until you give it away or die.
    2) Why are the(keyboard error they) die sold estate sales?
    After you die the book are usually sold in estate sales.
    3) Why does the subject matter has no real reason to discard them?
    The teachers are usually a filer to their students and do not recommend certain books because they dislike the subject matter. That happens even if the teacher is a Democrat, Republic, Communist, Socialist, and not but least a Socialist Democrat.
    4) And what does any of the above have to do with teachers encouraging their students to read?
    The students who due not read do not learn from other people experiences. Now if the teacher does not encourage the student to read they will be an uneducated person. By filtering the subject, you limited the student’s field of vision and lose the other persons experiences.
    What I was referring to Lucy the Librarian can intervene on the student’s behalf and provide that information. The point made is if no one reads that book, it is now remove from shelves.
    Your answers appreciated?

    Actually, Goldy has this vote thing all wrong. The punitive measure is to make illegal immigration a felony.

    191 Democrats and 65 Republicans voted to make illegal immigration a felony, by voting “NO” on an amendment to change this from a felony to a misdemeanor.

    156 Republicans and 8 Democrats voted “YES” to make illegal immigration a misdemeanor, instead of a felony.

    http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll655.xml

    Washington House members voting to make illegal immigration a felony: Brian Baird, Norm Dicks, Jay Inslee, Rick Larsen, Jim McDermott, and Adam Smith.

    Washington House members voting to make illegal immigration a misdemeanor: Doc Hastings, Cathy McMorris, and Dave Reichert.

    The Pacific Northwest–it’s not known for being a Republican stronghold. Nonetheless, there are a few important developments in GOP politics out there right now that could well change the face of politics in the region. There’s also quite a bit of controversy, and as several races are heating up, innuendo, mischaracterization and misrepresentation are becoming the main political tools of some of the principal contenders.
    Let’s start by looking at one of my favorites, the race for the 8th district in Washington, currently represented by Congressman Dave Reichert. In a state where policy-making off the back of extensive research and analysis is prized, and explaining policy by reference to religion or dogma is very much frowned upon, Congressman Reichert has become a respected representative known for his careful, independent study of issues, and his willingness–even as a first term Congressman–to break ranks with the GOP leadership on issues like the development of ANWR and the overhaul of endangered species legislation. Last month, he was recognized as a centrist by National Journal, probably because of these votes, his vote against federal intervention in the Terri Schiavo case, his vocal support for separation of church and state, and his belief in changing laws so that “everyone has the same rights” to ensure that legal hurdles for gay couples are eliminated, without gay marriage being legalized. He is an outstanding example of a legislator who takes an investigative approach to issues, and whose approach and views accord with large proportion of Washingtonians–and the majority of people in his district, based on my personal experience. He is a libertarian-leaning, environmentally concerned, supply-side Republican–just what the 8th district needs.

    Reichert may have won his first race with just 51% of the vote, but his record makes him far stronger than anyone would have predicted. Certainly, Reichert is looking stronger than his Democratic challenger, Darcy Burner, a former Microsoft executive who for some reason thought her anti-war platform and her lack of discussion on her website of her positions on tax and spending–which are of core concern in this fiscally conservative district–would play to the masses. Having realized that Reichert’s record is in sync with the profile of the district–and that in line with that, he’s doing well in raising money–she and fellow Washington Democrats have resorted to innuendo, mischaracterization and misrepresentation in order to weaken his chances.

    Back in February, Burner’s campaign tried to imply that Reichert is anti-environment by pointing to a 28% rating by the League of Conservation Voters. This is a blatant mischaracterization of Reichert’s record and stance when it comes to the environment–a big issue in the 8th district. Reichert gets ratings in the 30s from the American Wilderness Coalition and the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund. In the case of AWC, that means that Joe Lieberman outranks Reichert by less than 20%– making the divergence between him and those recognized as Congressional leaders on environmental protection initiatives look smaller than Ms Burner seeks to imply. And Reichert still outranks moderate Republicans like Jim Kolbe by more than 20%, based on LCV’s 2005 rating.

    Plus, the Sierra Club commended Reichert for his refusal to back ANWR drilling–a position which sadly he, and many other pro-environment legislators had to abandon after being forced to choose between paying for continued military operations in Iraq, or preventing drilling.

    8th district voters should pay attention on this one. Reichert may not be an eco-warrior like some from Washington. But when allegations are made to suggest that he reliably toes the party line on the environment, and that he’s weak when it comes to environmental protection, it’s mischaracterization and distortion of the worst kind. And it’s all the less credible given that the anti-environment innuendo is being made by a candidate whose website shows that she is not endorsed by a single environmental organization.

    Uh – there’s more to the story than you let on…big suprise

    From USA Today,

    “The question of a penalty has dogged the debate for months and been the subject of intense political maneuvering. GOP aides pointed out that Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, had tried during debate on the House floor to reduce the penalty to a misdemeanor.

    The attempt failed on a vote of 257-164, with 65 Republicans and 191 Democrats opposed. Many of the Democrats, including members of the Hispanic Congressional Caucus, indicated at the time that they favored no criminal penalties and opposed the suggested change.”

    Nice try tho…

    152- ‘indicated at the time that they favored no criminal penalties’

    So, a compromise between no penalties and felony is to vote down attempts to change felony to misemeanor?

    Nice try tho….
