Morning in America
Author: BobR
Date: 02/15/2008 13:31:33
It's almost morning in America again. Bush and the congressional Republicans are finally seeing that they won't get their way every time, and boy are they pissed. Once again, Bush babbled through an uninspired speech in a lame effort to strong-arm House Democrats into renewing his Constitution-breaking law. Watching it, you got the sense that Bush himself didn't even believe what he was saying.
This time, however, they didn't flinch. The Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence sent a letter to Bush that said:
The House Democrats instead took up a vote to indict two key Bush aides with Contempt charges, prompting the Republicans to stage an "impromptu" walkout (which ended up at a conveniently placed dais and mics on the House steps). By doing so, they ensured that the contempt vote would pass, and the FISA law would expire. Bush helped on that account by refusing a 21-day extension that would've allowed the House and Senate to reconcile the bills, hoping that once again the Dems would cave. He bluffed. He lost.
Now the Bush Administration is asking the SCOTUS to limit judges' authority to scrutinize evidence against detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Perhaps he'll have better luck with them. In the interests of fair trials, I certainly hope not.
Seven years ago, it must have seemed like a neo-con wet dream. A "charismatic", president that could be marshalled by his neo-con master of a vice president (and other advisers) ready to remake the world with their blueprints. With the advent of 9/11 (whether you believe it to be MIHOP, LIHOP, or something else), they had all the money, toys, and support they needed to put their plans into place. They wasted no time.
How disappointing it must be for them to see their dreams spiraling away into oblivion, like the water in a toilet bowl. Only Cheney remains, and - with the American people pushing and yelling and threatening - the Democrats and Congress are finally reasserting their rightful Constitutional powers.
Bush has cried "wolf!" one too many times. Congressional Democrats have stood up to the bully and found themselves unscathed.
It's almost morning in America again. I just hope it doesn't rain.
This time, however, they didn't flinch. The Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence sent a letter to Bush that said:
I urge you, Mr. President, to put partisanship aside and allow Republicans in Congress to arrive at a compromise that will protect America and protect our Constitution.
I, for one, do not intend to back down – not to the terrorists and not to anyone, including a President, who wants Americans to cower in fear.
We are a strong nation. We cannot allow ourselves to be scared into suspending the Constitution. If we do that, we might as well call the terrorists and tell them that they have won.

I received an email this morning from the DCCC with John Edwards' as the writer:
I wonder if, based upon this, Edwards is going to withhold any endorsement of either Obama *or* Hillary. If he's now working directly with the DCCC, that would seem to indicate he's going in a different direction.
Hmmmm....
How long until Howard Dean finishes as head of the DCCC?
Dear Shelagh,
I believe the 2008 elections can truly transform American politics -- but only if we have the courage to act. We have to think big again, taking on fundamental issues like poverty and challenging injustice at every turn. And we have to seize every opportunity to move beyond politics as usual.
Today, I'm writing to alert you to 29 such opportunities -- that's the stunning number of Republicans in the House of Representatives who have decided not to run for re-election in 2008.
They've stood in our way and now they're standing down. And we've got an incredible chance to replace them with strong Democratic leaders who will help end the war, achieve universal health care, challenge poverty, and reduce global warming.
Donate $30 or more to the 2008 Open to Change Campaign and your gift will be matched.
You and I know that we've got to put the White House in Democratic hands this year. But, we've also got to strengthen our hold on Congress -- breaking the ability that special interests still have to throw obstacles in the path of progress. Shelagh, your activism has helped put Democrats in a strong position. And in order to seize this historic opportunity, I'm asking you to step forward and stand together with our strong Democratic candidates so we can celebrate Democratic victories.
That's what the 2008 Open to Change Campaign is all about. The skilled, savvy and committed political organizers at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee have developed a detailed plan. With our help, they can turn open seats into big changes.
Donate $30 or more to the 2008 Open to Change Campaign and your gift will be matched.
I've seen it firsthand. I know how eager the American people are to take our government back and lead our country in a new direction. As a DCCC supporter, you've long been in the forefront of this movement for change. And now you can help recruit, train, support and sustain strong Democratic candidates -- people who can win the seats that running for the hills Republicans have left open to change.
These kinds of open seat opportunities don't happen every day. Let's make the most of it.
Sincerely,
John Edwards

Interesting email Shelagh.
I'll probably get this one as well. My response will be this: Why should I give the Dems one more dime of my money if they're NOT going to make a SERIOUS effort restore our rights and put lawbreakers and liars on notice?

Morning...just a quick blow-through...
I'm off today too, and with Javi in school, we're headed up to the mall and the bookstore and out to lunch today..
I looked up Keith on C & L this morning.
So is tonight the night we turn on MSNBC and are greeted with silence and a blank screen at 8:00?

Good morning all. 
I'm up already because I slept like shit last night.
So, who loved it when KO called Chimpy a Fascist.
Chimpy was just on Headline News when he was giving his statement about the shooting in Illinois. He mentioned it for 3 sentences and then went right into a rant about Congress not passing his FISA police state bill.

I sort of wondered the same thing. I'm particularly wondering if the right is going to call for KO's firing. It's almost *too* quiet out there today after the tongue-lashing last night....

If KO was fired, it would be a sure sign that free speech and a free, independent press is dead in this country.

You mean like they finally did yesterday?
I'm seriously hoping that what happened in the House is a portend of things to come. Let's face it, even some of the Repugs voted for the contempt charge.

Mornin' everyone!
I believe that Howard Dean is head of the DNC. Here's some info on the DCCC from wikipedia - Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) was unanimously elected to head the DCCC for the 2008 campaign cycle. Hope everybody has a good day - me, I'm glad I survived another week ;)

Bobber....nice post. Thanks for having the facts correct ( as if I doubted you ) but, a ton of people yesterday thought, incorrectly, that they walked out during the FISA vote.

Just contact the folks at Drinking Liberally and tell them you'd like to head one up. I'm fortunate in that there used to be a very active DL group in Pittsburgh until the previous group host couldn't do it anymore, so I have a base in place - so to speak.
You'll have to start from scratch finding a location, pulling in members and setting up the schedule. The DL folks will help you along but it's up to you to be pro-active. In particular they prefer each group have two hosts so the whole responsibility doesn't fall on just one person.
Good luck to you! From what I can see, there's only one other group in all of Oklahoma so the field is open!

Is there a way I could start a chapter here in Tulsa? I've been drinking liberally in the comfort of my own living room for the last 8 years ;)
Just contact the folks at Drinking Liberally and tell them you'd like to head one up. I'm fortunate in that there used to be a very active DL group in Pittsburgh until the previous group host couldn't do it anymore, so I have a base in place - so to speak.
You'll have to start from scratch finding a location, pulling in members and setting up the schedule. The DL folks will help you along but it's up to you to be pro-active. In particular they prefer each group have two hosts so the whole responsibility doesn't fall on just one person.
Good luck to you! From what I can see, there's only one other group in all of Oklahoma so the field is open!
What if one does not drink? :scratchhead:

You can still attend or host. But DL is always held in pubs, bars, etc. If you're interested in hosting a DL group for non-drinkers, I'd still contact Drinking Liberally to see if they'll help you set up such a group. They have the network in place and the tools to advertise.

Speaking of turnout. I am going to sign up to be a poll worker - since I don't currently have a job.............. I encourage anyone else who can do this to do it. Part of the problem is - at least around here - its retiree's who are poll workers and they are short staffed!

Now, having sent rattle, and pacifier to Sensinbrenner's office before I can say better to send it to the district offices than the office in DC. All packages are scrutinized before they are delivered when they hit the congressional mail room. It causes about a 2-3 week delay before they arrive.

John Lewis Switches to Obama.
This is very big news, as it does seem as tho more and more of these allegedly pledged super delagtes are deciding to listen to the wishes of the people they represent.
And LEwis is a pretty powerful guy in the house.
I sent him a letter saying thank you for doing the will of the people.

The only thing about Bush doing blow when Poppy was president is that it should be more public because this happened after he stated that he had stopped drinking and went clean after finding Jesus. And considering the rumors that have always been floating about concerning his sobriety over the last few years it sounds like he may never have given up drugs and alcohol but just managed to conceal them better.
