I’m sure that you are aware that the Dems have had 100% control over ALL spending, including the decision to continue the wars in Iraq & Af…

Let’s see your proof, provide the links proving
>>that the last two years Senate republicans
>>have stymed Congress, that Bush has vetoed
>>more legilation in the last two than the
>>previous six. Otherwise STFU.

I’ll do half your work for you, “big” Boy:

That is, assuming you can add up numbers as big as 12.

Now why don’t you do the other half, or STFU?

Let’s see your proof, provide the links proving that the last two years Senate republicans have stymed Congress, that Bush has vetoed more legilation in the last two than the previous six. Otherwise STFU.

That’s the GOP talking point but, in the Senate, the minority GOP very effectively blocked progress and problem solving.

I’m sure you are perfectly aware of the filibuster but maybe not the MASSIVE ABUSE of the privilage by the GOP:

“The 1999-2002 Senate terms both had 58 filibusters.[12] In the fall of 2007, the 110th Congress’ 1st session broke the record, for filibuster cloture votes, topping 70 as of Nov 15, 2007. It is on track to triple the number of such votes in 2008′s 2nd session. [13]”

>>I call TOTAL control of all gov’t spending,
>>total control.

You’re letting your fantasies conflict with objective reality, RAMBO.

Quit yer whining. We’ve got a country to fix. 18 days, and the healing can begin.

You like to argue just to see your words on your monitor. The Republicans in the Senate have stymied Congress for the past two years. Then Bush has vetoed more legislation in the past two years than the previous six.

But I like seeing the right wing nuts whine. They usually squeal like the pigs they are.

I call TOTAL control of all gov’t spending, total control.

>>Dems have been in control for a couple of years now.

You call a razor-thin majority in Congress and complete opposition from President Cheney/ Rove being “in control”?

I guess you’re a “sub” in the sack, eh? Tee hee! Ironic, for a guy named RAMBO.

You are a couple of years behind the times. Dems have been in control for a couple of years now. Add to this come Jan 20, the Executive. No excuses.

Blago claims innocence on the senate seat sale if only because this is how politics is done in all *51* states.. what do you think lobbyists
and campaign donations are used for? -just advertising? -do you think Obama, *a complete unknown* -got $700m-$1bn in donations without strings attached? -

you people do remember that he ran against NO ONE to get his senate seat.. how do you think this was accomplished? payola.

(just look at the ted kennedy obama endorsement and the resulting caroline kennedy fiasco here in NY in regards to hillary’s senate seat. how does someone with ZERO official public service get fast tracked to the top contender to fill a senate seat? payola.

to think Blago is guilty of anything other than business as usual is extremely naive.
-and divisive.
———————————-

i guess the hopes of years of democrat infighting ending is still a wet dream at most..

me thinks one of the reasons blago is still sitting in the gov’s seat is because he probably has a crapload of dirt he can unleash at the drop of hat on the majority chicago politicos.. -and they’re all still trying to figure out how unseat him without him exposing the whole lot of’em.

i still say this started because on Dec 5th, Chicago based Republic Windows and Door had to close it’s doors because Bank of America closed
it’s credit line with them.

-this resulted in some 15 or so city council members along with Blago stating they’d boycott
BoA (cutting all financial ties with the slimebank) until BoA used some of that fat TARP money it got from The Fed for it’s intended purpose…to get get credit flowing again..

low and behold, Dec 9th, the following tuesday,
the Blago senate seat scandal emerges out of the blue…effectively wiping the boycott off the map..

Think about it..as corrupt as US politics is, (not to mention chicago’s stellar reputation in the corruption business) -this was a simple case of David vs Golaiath…the little guy (chicago) going up against the behemoth that is The Banking Industry. (and it’s federal
govenment stooges)

(for all you simple-minded out there..go rent “it’s an Ant’s Life” for wonderfully simple prime example)

-had Blago and his council members succeeded in
gaining nationwide press on this issue..how long do you think it would take other states that are hemorrhaging debt rise up and take up the same cause..? -not to mention the millions of muted Americans (80%+) who already have voiced extreme
opposition to the bank bailout to begin with.

The Banks (plus the media & congress) *had* to stifle Blago & Chicago et al asap, or risk being exposed for tresonous slime that they all are.

Chicago could have been the catalyst for the first real, highly warranted united American uprising in decades.

it’s too bad, for a moment, there was a glimmer of hope the dummed down masses that is today’s America could have proven the world wrong..

alas, the powers-that-be prevailed and we’re back to left-right petty bickering over who’s slimeball is more worthy.. -just the way they like it.

it was a nice country while it lasted.

>>Burris should be accepted and seated.
>>Everyone opposing his taking his seat is doing an injustice to the Constitution.

Why? Just because Blagojevich appointed him?

The real injustice to the Constitution is to bypass the voters and allow a corrupt Chicago Governor to appoint a Senator.

This guy already lost various races before, and has been described in local media as a typical Chicago political hack.

Plus the real disqualifier is that this guy has literally built a monument to himself.
