109th Congress Is Gone!

   Finally! The Congress finally shut itself down yesterday at 5a.m. 12 years of GOP control has come to a halt 11 years to late.

   When the GOP met for the closing of this session you can almost hear them talking about all of the things that they couldn't do. WaPo has a story on that in this mornings paper for those of you who are interested,

    Let me see here. First off, the republicans failed to put the lid on government spending and to downsize it. In fact, spending grew and the government got much busier. They did not tame any deficit. It grew to the largest deficit in history! What did these monkeys in was their overwhelming lust for power and cash, plain and simple.

 House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) did have one or two accomplishments that he could tout. (?)

   He said, "Together, we reformed welfare. We cut taxes, and small businesses grew all over the nation. We promised to protect this nation from further attack, and by grace of God and with the leadership of President Bush, we have been successful."

    Those comments are always open for debate. They did cut taxes which did nothing for the working man/family in this country. We will not even get into Mr.Bush's leadership or the protection of our nation. the grace of God would have more to do with it than Bush does.

Iraq Study Group Report Angers A Few

    I am still hearing the cries from some of the GOP faithful/idiots who seem to think that this report was a waste of time.

The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page said the report was a “strategic muddle,” Richard Perle called it “absurd,” Rush Limbaugh labeled it “stupid.”   Is Rush in any spot to have an opinion on anything of importance? The New York Post called former Secretary of State James A. Baker III and Lee H. Hamilton, a former Democratic member of Congress “surrender monkeys.”

   The problem with these shitheads is that they were expecting more of the Bushco " stay the course" message from the study group so that the Democrats would have to give in and tow the line with the Crime Family. That is the GOP's idea of partisanship.

    Senator John McCain of Arizona, a leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, rejected the major recommendations of the group because they did not present a formula for victory. Mr. McCain, hoping to claim the Republican mantle on national security issues, has staked out a muscular position on Iraq, calling for an immediate increase in American forces to try to bring order to Baghdad and crush the insurgency.>> NYTimes

   I once was a fan of Mr. McCain until the torture bill sham came up. I think that it is time for the senator to go back out to the desert and retire peacefully. This man has been hanging around Bush to many times and he has lost his friggin mind!
