Scathing indictment...

Olbermann is little more than a liberal version of somebody like O'Reilly; well, a smidge better since he doesn't bring people on his show just to be a gigantic...thing I can't say here. But still, he's just a fairly standard left-wing pundit who pretty vehemently against our war in Iraq, so I'd expect nothing else from him.

I agree, of course, and I think he put it well in this one...I just don't think anybody's mind here will be changed by this or any other of his "special comments."
 
Olberman is a liberal hack an should have stuck with ESPN. As far as the democrats go did anyone think they would keep their word?

Its really not that hard. All they have to do is end the funding. Even if they don't have the votes for it, they can still say "look I tried".

Bunch of double talking cowards.
 
Yeah, anybody who actually thought the Democrats would man up and play hardball with the White House was deluding themselves. Instead they send a bill they knew he'd veto, then go about figuring out how to give the President exactly what he tells them to give him while manage to sound like they're "taking a stand."

Regardless of which "side" you're on, it's pretty pathetic. But if you're actually wanting to see something change, it's infuriating as well.
 
The guy is a dope. Looks like Nancy and company don't have the bill of goods they sold to the "enlightened" public who voted them into office:D :p :eek: :barf:

It warms my heart to see them show the entire world their true color.
Let me guess, they are waiting for the 08 elections to show they can bite like they promised they could.:rolleyes:
 
Well in fairness I'm guessing a majority of the folks that handed Congress to the Democrats would rather see the Democrats fail to deliver their bill of goods than risk the Republicans succeeding in delivering theirs. But I could be wrong.
 
The thing everyone hates about policitians is that they do what we elect them to do: act politically. They don't lead, at least since Teddy Roosevelt. Instead, they keep a close watch on the polls and promptly run to the front of the line and jabber away and at the same time try to box the opposition into a corner. And when the corners get tight they can only take the heat till things cool off, like criminals on the run.

It's why we have the urge to bathe whenever the tv is on.

Yep, I'm sure those folks are happy to see the failure of the one (according to dope writing the article) mandate they were given in exchange for being elected. Those people not only saw those they elected fail, but also saw GWB and his team beat their team at their own game. And in less than a year no less. At least they were quick about it.

I'm sorry I shouldn't be happy at the sorrow of others:D :D No really I shouldn't be...........:D
 
Anybody who thinks Bush has 'won' anything is drinking bad kool-aid. He fumbles along from one scandal to the next. Althought the fact hat he's still in office could be considered a personal victory for him but surely not for us.

He said they were going to give him the funding, they said they weren't and added that they were going to mandate a withdrawal date on top of no funding. He got the funding and there is no withdraw date mandated. That would be an X in the win column, for those who support him.
 
How about Nancy Pelosi draining the "fiscal irresponsibility" swamp of Republicans...John Murtha finally gave the lie to that farce...that she would drain it and that it was a Republican problem...

The most honest thing Pelosi has said was when she crowed that the gavel of the House was passing from "corporate interests into the hands of the children of America". She referred of course to her own arrested development and that of crybaby bullies like Murtha.

No wonder Congressional ratings are worse or just barely above Bush's.
 
We were never supposed to be involved in the affairs and turmoils that Europe created for itself long ago. We are supposed to defend the borders of our country. Demoncraps or Repukeacans doesn't matter. They will sell the people down the road. What else do we expect? This game of stick and carrot is has gone on far too long. The dumbing down of the education system has only further facilitated their goals to have a class of useful idiots. The people are getting what they deserve. The wooden nickle we buy every election is worthless, doesn't matter wether it lands heads or tails.

It isn't surprising that we find our country in the situations that we do. What will be surprising, is if the people will reclaim what rightfully belongs to them. I doubt that the people have the intestinal fortitude to do that which is necessary, to right the wrongs of our government from the local levels all the way to the federal levels.

I disagree that the politicians vote by following the polls. They seem to vote contrary to what the polls say. The people are overwhelmingly against amnesty and several other bills that somehow get voted into law.
Unfortunely, "half past Claire Wolfe" is the phrase that comes to mind.

America's at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.

I definately agree with the last part of your post!:)

Left, Right, Conservative, Liberal..they're just labels. Usually used to brand those who disagree with our world view. The truth is..no group is wrong all the time. No group is right all the time. In this case, while most of you (and perhaps myself if I knew his politics) would label him a liberal scumbag, he got it right.

Neither my wife nor I seriously thought that the Democrats would live up to their promises and do what they were elected for. As a servicemember opposed to this conflict I hoped that they would..but I wasn't about to hold my breath.

But true to form..they stabbed America in the back. Not too surprised. Very disappointed. I am simply happy that someone else noted it in the mainstream media.

Question though...Many of you call him a liberal...but his sparing no words in his condemnation of the DEMOCRATS!!....again..he may be a liberal..but he's parted ways with that party when it comes do how they have (not) done their job, what do you say to that?

Don't take my agreement with what an individual says as necessarily an endorsement of that person!
 
If politicians didn't have polls to follow they'd never leave their office. Their votes may not be popular to everybody but they aren't concerned with everybody. They're only concerned with their own voters. Like when Bushie went into Iraq, a lot of us knew it was stupid but the only thing he cared about was bamboozling conservatives plus 2% of everybody else.
 
Like you had a clue? It appears that another mentally challenged poster has arrived at the conclusion that Bush was able to coerce Congress, and the American people, into doing anything. Listening to you, one can actually see that the MSM has apparently been able to convince some of the people that they're right. I suppose that Congress, who authorized the spending for Iraq in the first place, had no clue as to what was going to happen? They have their own sources for intelligence (they must, as they never exhibit it themselves), as does the MSM, who trumpeted any breath of anyone who talked about WMDs.

Suddenly, all of the know everythings, who were in many cases, members here, but who missed the oportunity to say anything, are screraming that Bush did this, or Bush did that. Amazing, there is no one else in the government today, until the same pathetic losers decide to denigrate them.

Wake up, and take a smart pill. You want to know who is responsible for this?
Pogo said it best: "We have met the enemy, and he is US". The fact that you don't agree with something is your OPINION. The fact that you whine and wail about something on a Board is an excuse for not getting involved. WE elect the people who serve. US!! We are supposed to let them know what we think. That's US!! Don't think that you can change it on a federal level, head for your local elections and pols. DO something!! Sitting back, blaming others is not only stupid, it's how we got where we are today.:mad:
 
This may dissappoint you but some of us vote and write our congressmen and write to newspapers too. But none of that matters if the loudmouths shout down the people who keep up, the people who were RIGHT.

Know what I mean?
 
How is it that liberals and other anti-Bush folks in general scream Bush is an idiot and in the next breath scream he tricked us? I don't think I would admit to being tricked by an idiot.:confused:

I agree. Liberals are usually correct in their assessments as often as a certian timepiece I keep in my nightstand thats in a current state of disrepair.
