Pelosi
Yeah we believe you Nancy, you who claim to know everything and ALWAYS have the inside scoop on details, and the answers to everything........sure we believe you........NOT. Back pedaling to try to convince anyone you are telling the truth, just doesn't work....

Legal Foot Dragging Denial of Inevitable by Senate Republicn
I find the months long and continuing saga of Senate Republicans and former incumbent Norm Coleman of Minnesota, in denying a rightful U.S. Senate seat to Al Franken, both insulting and undemocratic. These Republican legal stratagems and arguments are hollow and feckless, mere tools of the impoverished and unimaginative minds of Sore Losers. In ...

Obama Needs Franken in the Senate...
''Since losing power in the Senate in 2006, Republicans, with the help of Sen. John McCain, have instigated a record 94 filibusters in order to grind the legislative process to a halt and protect George W. Bush's agenda. On policies such as the Iraq war, sound energy policy, equal pay for women, raising the minimum wage and much-needed health care ...

Franken on the Hill
Before we rebuild another country we need to clean our own house. By that I mean send career politicians packing, rather they be republican, democrat or an independent. Sorry this means Ted Kennedy needs to go home and fight his cancer and Oklahoma's Istook needs to return to mopping floors at the radio station. There could be worse things to ...

You have proven the point quite well for me, as regards your priggish proletarian pole axing of Al Franken's politics as candidate for U.S. Senator from the State of Minnesota, based on his previous life as a comic writer and ...

Al Franken's Quandry
Obviously this article is one way to help Al Franken with his ''quandry''. Mr. Kinsley's liberal leaning is peppered through out the article. By the end of the article, us Americans better have figured out that Al can't be held responsible for any joke he has told because it was a JOKE. Doesn't seem to matter that the content may be so ...

Hitchens the Glib
As usual, Hitchens does a great job of putting down nearly every politician in sight. What he chooses to ignore about Obama is that there is substance to him, in his team of advisers, at his website, and, yes, even in some of his speeches - those which are devoted to policy issues. And anyway, what is the matter with poitical slogans, as long as ...
