Step Aside Nancy
Author: Raine
Date: 01/24/2008 13:42:18
Here we go again. The House has decided to put aside contempt charges against Bolton and Miers. Why? Politico tells us: In the midst of Bipartisan talks? WTF?
Don't these dems understand that no stimulous package in the world will help the problem going on in this country? None. Don't they get the fact that $800 dollars isn't going to make anything better? Money cannot buy security or justice.
Don't they get the fact that this country is in a depression? It is a depression caused by this administration, its failed policies, its lies, its deceptions, its constant pandering to corporate interests, to corporate tax breaks, to cronyism, to deregulation... the list can go on.
What the house must do is go forward on 2 tracks (or three of four or five). They absolutely must stop taking things off the table because they cannot deal with crises on multiple levels - it's called multitasking. Every American worker is asked to do more and more of it every day, and the house needs to start doing a better job of it. And if they can't do that, then Nancy Pelosi should step down as speaker of the house.
So many dems HAVE done, and continue to do, great work up on the hill. Dennis Kucinich, Henry Waxman, Robert Wexler and John Conyers come immediatley to mind. On the senate side, We have Russ Feingold, Jim Webb and Christopher Dodd, who by the way, has said he will renew his filibuster regarding the telecom bill. Those are just the ones that come to mind right off the bat. There are so many others.
Nancy Pelosi is in over her head; she is obstructing the work we sent dems to Washington to do. Her desire for bipartisanship had Impeachment taken off the table, and now contempt charges as well. The War still goes forward, with no plans in sight to stop the funding. She allows herself to be bullied by the Bush Republicans and always seems to concede to them instead of listening and working for to all the Americans who cry out every day for justice. Yes, instead of letting that happen,or taking proactive steps to MAKE it happen, she steps in the way.
It is time for her to start listening to the people or step down from her position as Madam Speaker.
:peace: and :heart:

Senior Democrats have decided that holding a controversial vote on the contempt citations, which have already been approved by the House Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation into the firing of nine U.S. attorneys, would “step on their message” of bipartisan unity in the midst of the stimulus package talks.
[...] “Right now, we’re focused on working in a bipartisan fashion on [the] stimulus,” said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.), indicating that the contempt vote is not expected for weeks, depending on how quickly the stimulus package moves.
Brendan Daly, a spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), said “no decision has been made” as to when a criminal contempt vote would be held by the House.

Why do the collective "we" feel it's justified to use an actor/celebritie's life, misjudgements, or deaths as the butt of "our" jokes. I grow weary of the laughing at Britney, who is in a serious downward spiral. It doesn't matter if she is rich, or famous, her life is becoming tragic.
And, as for Heath Ledger. Jesus Christ! What the hell did he do to offend John Gibson. Yes, he was famous. Yes, he had money. And, now he is gone. . . and there is a very real mother, father, sister, daughter, ex-girlfriend who are devestated. He was a PERSON, regardless of his position in life. So, why is his death "Fair Game?"
F*cker.

The only thing that even makes sense to me in a sick kind of way is that it makes insecure people feel better about themselves when they cut down easy targets like celebrities. I think movies and TV have created this negative reality in people's minds that permits them to view celebrities as characters instead of real flesh and blood persons with the same hopes, desires, fears, and insecurities as the rest of us. The big difference is that they live their lives under a microscope.

Raine,
I couldn't agree with you more, I woke up this morning to the news that Congressional Dems had already caved on the food stamp and unemployment extensions and then I heard that Harry Reid (another real disappointment, IMHO) is so eager to get to Davos, Switzerland that he is willing to grant telecoms immunity just to get the FISA bill through. I hope that Chris Dodd stands his ground, I think that it is worth a call to our senators and encourage them to support Sen. Dodd's filibuster and stop telecom immunity. Mornin' everybody!
Cheers,
MFaye

Good morning, bloggers!! Another glorious day on the frozen shores of Lake Michigan, where the wind chill temperature is approaching the cold chill of Ann Coulter's ..... heart.
Starling310, we sadly have too many people in this country who make a living out of tearing others down - especially if they can build themselves up. That is the nature of Fox News: tear people down while showing them as elitists, and build up the common folk while promoting the agenda of the true elites - business interests and partisan interests.

Urge Congress to stop "Drive-Through" Mastectomies! Sign the Petition
When my grandmother had her Mastectomy she had to stay in the hospital for almost a week not they send women out a few hours afterwards. It's ridiculous!
They have been trying to get the Congress to atleast talk about this for 12 years and they only need 8 more sponsers to do that. Sign the petition and contact your people, women's health is important for healthy families.

Update on Wexler wants hearings:
Sign the separate petition at Democrats.com
... and remember, if Congress can have hearing about steroids, they sure as hell can have at the VERY LEAST, impeachment hearings. Send a letter to your representative today. Dennis will be bringing a new impeachment request to the floor on January 28, so time is of the essence.
Rep. Wexler is now accepting signatures on his letter from all congress members, so no matter where you live you can ask your representative to sign. Some surprising names have already signed, so there is hope that yours will too!
We are calling for hearings into possible impeachable offenses, not for co-sponsoring specific Articles of Impeachment. But these must be IMPEACHMENT hearings because the White House has ignored all of the subpoenas issued in non-impeachment hearings.
We are asking Congress at long last to stand up and assert its power, and that requires using the only form of accountability specified in the Constitution: Impeachment.

Raine,
Here's a link to the Bill (SB1200) embedded in my blog:Indian Health Care Bill. Check it out and do make a call - I followed the discussion in the Senate yesterday and it looks like Dorgan is about the only senator who wants it passed without crippling amendments. See Indianz.com for ongoing coverage of this debate. Thanks for asking about this - it represents the first update of Indian Health Care in over 15 years!

It looks like we do have a stimulus plan.
Lawmakers clinch a deal on tax rebates. I have my doubts that it can work when we have so many fundamental problems, such as the mortgage crisis.

LIstening to NovaM news, they just did a story about Ledger and the massues(sp) calling his friend Mary Kate before calling 911. The reason I read about that was because her body guard who was right around the corner was a form EMS guy and he could get there faster. They just made it sound like the person was doing something horrible.

Dunno if you read my blog post today, but I kinda agree with that.
Plus, the bill doesn't put ANY money into the hands of people that are not even on any payroll. you know... like the unemployed.

HERe is a real problem with Hillary and what Bill just said regarding the fact that she withstood 8 years of attacks when he was in office.
She NOR he could stop those attacks. And since that time, those attacks have not stopped from this republicans party.
Just becuase Hillary withstood those attacks, doesn't mean she stopped them, and it doesn't mean that they won't happen again... becuase I believe they will. Using Obama as a way to show how tough she is, by either bill or herself proves nothing, except that they themselves attack, sadly, much like the republicans.

I don't get this "stimulus" rebate thing - I would much rather have a tax cut for myslef then $300. How is $300 going to help me get out of debit or get the things I need?

Or even $800 for that matter.

PLUS... for many that 300 bucks will go towards paying bills... so the money goes RIGHT back to the companies that played a part of creating this serious economic crisis. Really in the end, this is a back door way to get money to corporations.

A potted plant would make a better president than George Bush.
