Are they really that stupid? posted by Wally 9:35 PM Or do they just think the entire country has been asleep for the past 7 years? Senate Republicans are actually excited about publicly and vocally reminding the American people about that little bit of unpleasantness happening in the Middle East. They actually think that bringing the Iraq war to a debate on the Senate floor will help them and their party. Granted, I like the result of their twisted logic, but it's almost as if the Republicans have been taking notes from Democratic strategists on how to step on their dicks and set themselves up for massive failure. Senate advances bill to cut Iraq funding In an about-face, Senate Republicans on Tuesday agreed with Democrats to advance an anti-war bill because they said the debate would give them time to hail progress in Iraq. I wonder if they're talking about the progress of now having people in wheelchairs blow themselves up in the middle of crowds in Iraq, or the progress of having 8,000 more troops left in Iraq at the end of the "temporary" surge than were there before it started, in spite of what Bush said to the contrary when he was insisting it was NOT an escalation? I'm still not real clear on this whole Republican "progress" thing. The change of heart came after months of blocking similar measures. But unlike most of last year, security conditions in Iraq have improved, and Republicans say they now feel they have the upper hand on the debate. "We welcome a discussion about Iraq," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell declared. So do we Mitch. So do we. Of course, it's a moot point, since Dubya has already said he will veto the bill if it passes. "This legislation would substitute the political judgment of legislators for the considered professional military judgment of our military commanders," the administration said in a statement. Are they referring to the military commanders that ~~were fired~~ retired because they disagreed with the "political judgement" over the past 5 years, or the ones that were promoted to "commander" positions because there was nobody qualified left who agreed with the "political judgements"? Why don't they just ask "Brownie". I'm sure he'd do a heck of a job fixing up Iraq. Either way, in a rare instance where I actually agree with the Republicans, and I also welcome the debate and the opportunity to rub their faces in the mess they made on the Persian rug. Unfortunately, 98% of the country will never hear a word of it, because they're doing that "uniquely American" thing of working 2 or 3 jobs to put food on their families, and don't have time to listen to the senseless droning and pointless speech-making of corporate-owned Congress-critters who don't give a rat's ass about the people they represent anyway.

	Hold the phone a sec, the mess THEY made? Do you mean the Republican wing of the one State Party or the grand bipartisian effort that couldn't have happened without the willing colaboration of the Democrat wing of the State Party? Give credit where it's due, not just to the "opposition" wing we all love to hate. And about that 98% thing...don't you think apathetic stupidity plays a part in what WE have let happen to the no longer (for well over a hundred years) valid original Constitution? I'll grant you it was a Repub that abandoned it, but together both wings of THE PARTY dreamed up the myth of Lincoln, the one President that makes Bush look downright moderate, but is worshipped as "The Great Emancipator" (he didn't 'emancipate anyone). A true dictator in reality and basically everything you think you know about him is untrue. From breaking the Geneva Accords before the ink was even dry to his micromanaged genocide of the Plains Indians, and a world of shit in between. It's small wonder the majority of U.S. serfs are as dumb as a box of rocks. Dare to know, and keep your powder dry, that's what people should be concentrating on. I'm so pissed! posted by Pissed off at 1:35 AM
