Advertisements [?]They know there's no way in hell they can possibly win it.The price of oil is soaring, and high gas prices are beginning to pinch every American that's not in the top percentage of wealth.The new Iraqi government is just not cooperating as expected, and things in the Middle East just aren't getting better.Home foreclosures are skyrocketing out of control.The economy is slowing, if not already near death.Food is becoming so expensive many families are not able to pay other bills just so they can eat.Unemployment is rising, and those good paying jobs just don't exist any longer.We have documentation that proves Bush and Co. LIED to Congress, to the American people, the United Nations, and other countries in the lead up to the Iraq war.pResident Bush authorized torture of prisoners.The Democratic-led Congress is beginning to show signs that they've discovered where their nut sacks are, and appear to be coming to the realization that Americans are ANGRY at the lack of oversight the past year and a half. They realize we want CHANGE and as conditions continue to worsen for Americans over the hot summer months, more and more of us will DEMAND action against those responsible. And all roads lead to Bush/Cheney/Rove.Now we're hearing reports that a war with Iran is looming.Does anyone believe that there's any chance at all that a Dem is going to win the White House in November? It isn't going to happen, folks. No way. They know their crimes, and they know what their future holds if someone else controls their destiny.All of the elements of the previous elections are still in place. A right-leaning Supreme Court, electronic voting that can be controlled, and Congress members with as much to hide as Bush and Cheney.No matter how high the enthusiasm, no matter how much we want change or how much we want to make history, the powers that be at the moment have already put in place a plan that will protect their future interests. You can make book on it.No way they're walking away from this and handing over the reigns to someone they can't trust.

All they had to do was sit back and watch the blue dogs pollute the house and senate with closet GOPers hiding behind that little (D) after their names.And for dessert, they got Pelosi and Reid, which is like getting Mary Poppins as your parole officer.Pelosi never met a money-for-blood-and-oil bill she wasn't in love with. Reid never met a GOPer he wasn't scared to death of.The GOP continues to just threaten filibusters and Reid throws up his hands and surrenders. He's not one for sleeping bags and bath robes in the senate chambers, I guess. All he really has to do is call their bluff and tell them to start talking and keep it up until their throats rot away. But that would harm the happy spirit of bipartisanship he's worked to hard to foster. And which is working so very well.So, summing up: They didn't have to cheat, although it's documented by at least a dozen reporters (who can't get their stories into US mass media, of course) that the dems started out about 4 million votes in the hole nationwide.When public revulsion for these swine overcame that handicap and gave dems majorities in both houses, the GOP pollsters and campaign managers were unconcerned because they knew the score. Even a dem victory in about 40 or so house districts wouldn't do a thing for the dem legislative agenda -- whatever the hell that was before Pelosi started taking things off the table in an unprecedentedly stupid move of unilateral political disarmament. Oh yeah... They wanted to implement the recommendations of the 9/11 commission, since revealed as pure political theater directed from the white house and designed to present the appearance of a thorough investigation while avoiding, distorting or just ignoring any facts that conflicted with the official Bushie big lie. Better yet for the piggies, dems ended up with such a narrow majority in the senate that they have to put up with the intolerable Senator Joementum (asshole - Tel Aviv) and keep his treasonous ass happy or gee whiz, he'll become an official GOPiggie and there go the committee chairmanships. Reid would, of course, intervene with the usual iron fist but Mr. Independent can tell him to buzz off and that's exactly what Reid will do.It's with great glee that I read about Obama's little chat with Holy Joe the other day. I'm sure Reid was just working up to the exact same confrontation but Obama beat him to it by minutes.If nothing else, I hope ol' Joementum gets frequent icy chills up the empty tube where his spine would normally have been, wondering if Obama's actually going to find him in a back alley some moonless night and beat the living shit out of him.I've never paid to watch a sporting event on TV, but I'd gladly fork over whatever they wanted to see that one. But then, it would be on youtube for free within a few minutes after the final blows landed, so I'll probably remain a pay-per-view virgin.wp
