Could this happen?



Assume the GOP ends up with 203-or so-seats when all the recounts are over. And say all 203 of those Republican Members of the House were to tell Steny Hoyer that they feel his pain over the Pelosi/Murtha thing and they have decided to vote for him for Speaker.
If Hoyer went into the election for Speaker with 203 GOP votes, he would only need to find 15 Democrats who don't like or trust Pelosi (not exactly a stretch) to get to the magic number of 218 - an absolute majority of the 435 Members - and Mrs. Pelosi would be a very important member of the House Appropriations Committee. Period.
Republicans could look the Popular Press squarely in the eye and say: "What higher level of bipartisanship can there be than crossing over the aisle to vote for the other party?"

Oh, yes. It's much more convenient.
These scum pretend to consul us on ethical matters? Monsters!

"Partnerships" with dictatorships have a long history of success.......
ARE THESE PEOPLE NUTS?
Mr Blair said there could be a new “partnership” with Iran if it stopped supporting terrorism in Iraq and gave up its nuclear ambitions. Syria and Iran could choose partnership or isolation, he said.

CREW Blasts Pelosi Endorsement of Unethical Murtha for Majority Leader
Washington, DC - Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) questioned soon-to-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) commitment to eradicating corruption with her endorsement of one of the most unethical members in Congress, Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), to be Majority Leader of the House of Representatives. Rep. Murtha was listed in CREW's report Beyond DeLay: The 20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress (and five to watch). As reported in the study and by the news media, Rep, Murtha has been involved in a number of pay-to play schemes involving former staffers and his brother, Robert "Kit" Murtha.

Lot's of buzz...

The "new" democrats


The leopard can't change its stripes.... wait a minute, I meant the zebra can't change its pokadots...yeah that's the ticket....




The Washington Post referred to the incident as "an ethical scrape" in which Murtha was "named as an unindicted co-conspirator and testified against two House colleagues."But, a videotape of a Jan. 7, 1980 Abscam-related meeting involving Murtha shows that the congressman's rejection of the offered bribe was less than definite. "I'm not interested. I'm sorry," Murtha told the FBI agent, but added that he meant "at this point. See Video."You know, we do business for a while, maybe I'll be interested, maybe I won't," Murtha said on the FBI videotape.

Anuzis' Brave New World


Apparently, bringing up the criminal history of your opponent is just fine...... unless your opponent is a black democrat.
http://www.wzzm13.com/news/local/grmetro_article.aspx?storyid=64814
In a statement today, Kent County GOP leaders blame Anuzis for a faulty statewide voter identification effort they say actually targeted many democrats and helped drive up democratic voter turnout. They also criticized what they called "the race-baiting mailers" that "cost Tim Doyle his race against Robert Dean for state representative" as well as Dan Koorndyk's re-election to the county commission. "We are not happy about it" the Kent GOP statement said.

Term Limits-Michigan


Good byes are so painful to .... the good byed. So long permanent politicos! Hah!
http://www.michiganinbrief.org/edition06/text/issues/issue-59.htm
[APRIL 1, 1998] In November 1992 Michigan voters approved—by the sizable margin of 59–41 percent—an amendment to the state constitution that limits the number of terms a person may serve in various public offices. These lifetime limits affect officeholders sworn into office on or after January 1, 1993.
Limited to two terms are governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and state senators (terms of office are four years).
Limited to three terms are state representatives (term of office is two years). Terms served need not be consecutive, and if less than half a term is served in an office, it does not count toward the limitation.
Note that limits are not imposed on the number of offices in which a person may serve—only on the number of terms s/he may serve in each.

Is Karl Rove even more of an evil genius than we think? Did he and Bush just produce an election flop...on purpose?

The single, most dangerous, result of the election.


This man is a liar, thief, crook and now he will head the House Intelligence Committee.

That Mr. Hastings is employed by the United States of America, and is not a guest a federal penitentiary, is itself cause for wonder.

McCain and the Keating Five



McCain was the only Republican implicated in the Keating Five scandal, yet today he lectures his party and his president about "the corrupting influence" of money in politics. He rails against the so-called "wealthy special interests" and their ability to buy access to elected officials, yet this is precisely what the Keating Five scandal was all about. And, of course, under McCain's current standard, a politician who takes a principled position that may benefit a donor is corrupt, even if no law has been violated.

Be careful what you wish for.....

So now Dems control Congress. Americans may soon get a chance to see just how bad things really are (or aren't) as a result of Iraq.
Because if the Dems push for a major new direction, the consequences could well have Americans longing for the days when terrorists in Iraq were merely killing each other.

Another reason...


Another reason to remember that McCain was the only GOPerCrook of the Keating Five. And that's not the name of a band.



Robbed store owners plead for protection




Great ideas from Heights' Council members! Yeah, right......

Although the robberies have been recorded on security cameras, the tapes haven't helped much so far, Johnson said.

"The subjects are clothing themselves to hide their identities -- covering their hands, draping themselves so there isn't physical evidence," Johnson said.

"The subjects are clothing themselves to hide their identities -- covering their hands, draping themselves so there isn't physical evidence," Johnson said.
Council members William Watson and Dorothy Scott offered the store owners some suggestions. Scott said some stores needed more lighting and security cameras and Watson suggested closing earlier or hiring additional employees.

This didn't take long.

Senator Carl Levin said Democrats will exercise their newly won control of Congress by pushing through a resolution calling for the U.S. to begin withdrawing some of its 140,000 troops from Iraq within six months.

Did Green Party cost Democrats control of Michigan Senate?


Remember this if you're tempted to vote Libertarian in the future.
Republicans won the two closest Senate races in last week's election by a combined 1,294 votes out of 210,000 cast, giving them a 21-17 majority instead of a 19-19 tie to be broken by Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm's lieutenant governor. Both races had Green Party candidates who ran as part of the "Stop the War Slate."
Democrats say most of those votes would have been theirs if not for the Green Party...

Does anyone think it will just go away on its own?







Apparently the democrats do.
