I am still shocked at how worthless the media has become in this country.

There are people within both the Democratic and Republican party that deserve prosecution for these crimes. Pelosi is one, and Cheney another. These people are sure to walk away from it, because the media has no investigative journalism, and instead have become bootlickers for whoever happens to be in power at the moment.

So, don’t hold your breath anybody..

Politics? In our nation’s capitol? Nah!

National security has been irreparably damaged by the misadventures into Iraq and Afghanistan.

What kind of message would it send if the August recess was canceled? There’s much work to do!

If not, maybe it’s the tax cut portion that’s the problem?

Make that 7 1/2 years.

Mornin' all. more talk with the public is better - progress reports and such. and, with the August recess coming up, it’s a good time for everyone to have a chat with their Congress Critter while he/she is in town … A noble sentiment. Alas, my critter is more interested in building his FairTax cult-membership rolls than in any pretense of representing his entire constituency.

Another concurred, saying that while Obama and Holder would doubtless take political heat from many Republicans and other segments of the public, there was hesitancy to further agitate Obama’s friends on the left at a time when they needed that political coalition on a range of issues, including healthcare reform and climate change legislation.

“Better to keep our team happy and willing to fight and have the other side distracted,” says a House Democrat aide. “If Holder moves ahead, it doesn’t particularly hurt us, but it may indirectly help us: while the other guys get all riled about it, we can just push ahead with other things and leave them in the dust.”-AmSpec

Destroying national security for political purposes, just like I said.

electrician – “sorry about the caps lock, didnt mean to yell”

hahaha … yelling so early on a Monday – did you wake up the whole household???

“Most Americans know that it will take a while for the economy to recover, but they expect Obama to make economic revival his number one task. Those photo ops in glittering palaces were a bit off-message.”

considering the G-8 summit was all about economics and the environment, I really don’t understand what the beef is. not to mention, criminey, they held it in L’Aquila, where Italy suffered one of the most devastating earthquakes that I can remember for the country.

having said that, I do agree that more talk with the public is better – progress reports and such. and, with the August recess coming up, it’s a good time for everyone to have a chat with their Congress Critter while he/she is in town …
