Harry Reid Does GOP’s Bidding. Again.

Posted by Brendan on July 29th, 2008 filed in BAH, DemocRAT, big business as usual, direct action

Harry Reid is allowing the GOP to bring their offshore oil drilling bill to the floor, opening the door to lifting a ban passed in 1981.
That’ right: Reid is bowing to Mr. 28%. Again.
…adding that even RedState knows a dunce when they see one: “You’re holding the knife wrong, Senator Reid. Now, the sharp bit [...]

Posted by Brendan on July 28th, 2008 filed in DemocRAT, Democratic Idiocy, big business as usual, calling bullshit, crime, fascism, politics

A few weeks ago, I called PA Democrat Patrick Murphy to task for his support of Stainy Whore’s FISA Amendments Act, aka The Protect AT&T Act of 2008.
“When we spoke last, you mentioned that the FISA bill allows for criminal prosecution of the Bush official who enabled/ ordered this illegal program, but not [...]

Pelosi: The New Direction is “Reward Corruption”

Posted by Brendan on July 24th, 2008 filed in DemocRAT, big business as usual, right wing dingalings

Now this is sweet: Nancy Pelosi has appointed Porter Goss to the new Office of Congressional Ethics. TPM links to The Hill, but frankly I think TPM’s background is the real meat. Goss, you may recall, was forced out of the CIA when it came out that he’d been tied to the now-imprisoned corrupt [...]

Talking Points Memo reports that Nancy Pelosi is calling George Bush “a failure”

Complicit Democrats

Posted by Brendan on July 15th, 2008 filed in DemocRAT, civil rights, crime, direct action, fascism, gop crime, torture

Glenn Greenwald confirms what I’ve been saying since 2007. he links to the same Washington Post article about Nancy Pelosi’s knowledge of torture too.
It is absolutely the case that, as Mayer pointed out yesterday and as I wrote about at the time, Bush officials faced serious danger of criminal liability in the wake of [...]

Moneybomb!

Posted by Brendan on July 14th, 2008 filed in DemocRAT, direct action, fascism, gop crime

Glennzilla’s got the details:
All of this highlights the central political dilemma in the U.S. The Bush-led Republican Party, marching in virtual lockstep, has been the author of the radicalism, extremism and lawlessness of the last seven years, presiding over an endlessly expanding Surveillance State and accompanying war-making machine, and the dismantling of numerous core Constitutional [...]

“Standing Up to the Left”

Posted by Brendan on July 10th, 2008 filed in DemocRAT, calling bullshit, fascism

Now that Obama has utterly betrayed his base, I’m already seeing nonsense from the bobbleheads about how he’s “standing up to the left.” Let me offer an analogy.
My friend Ryan is a big man. He’s easily over 6 feet tall, and outweighs me by, well by a lot. The guy’s got arms [...]

A Whole New Meaning

Posted by Brendan on July 10th, 2008 filed in DemocRAT, big business as usual, calling bullshit, civil rights, direct action

Given his outrageous vote on FISA, following his broken promise to filibuster the bill, perhaps it’s time for Obama to redefine what “Listening to America” means:

It’s sure not his base he’s listening to. I joined the anti-FISA group at Obama’s website two weeks ago. I had to switch over to the “digest” version because my [...]
