George W. Bush: An American Hitler -- In George W. Bush's petty, pathetic, partisan world, laws he doesn't agree with don't have to be obeyed, Congressional actions that differ from his political agenda can be ignored and the Constitution of the United States is just a " goddamned piece of paper. " http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8534.shtml War on the cheap -- The Iraq war has been the war fought on the cheap - not enough body armor, not enough armor on vehicles, not enough night vision equipment. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8531.shtml Stupid is as stupid does -- This is mindless thinkology that stands conservative ideology on its ear. At the very moment that the market-based incentive is working wonderfully, it is to be scrapped. Perhaps angry prospective car buyers may turn away from the hybrids and back to the guzzlers. That will hurt America's effort to cut consumption of foreign oil -- a quest that has become a national security imperative. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8532.shtml Under Republican rule, rich get richer and poor stay poor -- In absolute terms the poor are just as poor as they were a generation ago, while a middle class family's annual share of the last quarter century's worth of economic growth allows it to buy one extra tank of gas every three months. Meanwhile, in relative terms, both groups are far poorer: indeed, compared to the rich, most Americans are now only half as well-off as they were during the Carter presidency. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8533.shtml Military secrecy fight stalls change in detainee rules -- Two years after a prisoner abuse scandal rocked the U.S. military, officials are still wrangling over how best to guide troops on the handling of detainees to ensure that such mistreatment does not happen again. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8535.shtml Senate votes to protect pork -- The Senate voted Tuesday to protect home-state projects added by some of its most senior members to an Iraq war and hurricane relief funding bill as the tide turned against efforts by spending hawks to strip them out. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8537.shtml Reid may filibuster judicial nominees -- The Senate's top Democrat on Tuesday said he is considering a filibuster of two of President Bush's judicial nominees, saying one may have been involved in the administration's policy on torture and the other ruled in a case in which he had a clear conflict of interest. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8536.shtml Ginsburg: Republicans launch assault on federal courts -- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Tuesday that a Republican proposal in Congress to set up a watchdog over the federal courts is a " really scary idea. " http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8538.shtml Senate promises action on immigration reform -- President Bush and Senate leaders on Tuesday redoubled their efforts on immigration reform, one day after a nationwide boycott riveted political attention to the cause. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8530.shtml Port security bill advances in Senate -- A far-reaching port security bill that could eventually lead to screening of all cargo containers headed to the United States was approved by the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_8529.shtml Plus the latest news updated 24/7: http://www.capitolhillblue.com http://BuzzardsRoost.aimoo.com http://www.GranniesAgainstGeorge.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
