I love Skippy. Not the peanut butter, the blogger. This is his comment that he left on the petition to let our so called representatives know we don't approve of limiting our right to free speech.
find it reprehensible that congress would seriously debate and pass a resolution about an advertisement purchased by u.s. citizens and which reflected an honest and popular point of view, rather than vote in favor of letting the troops have between deployments; or to restore habeas corpus, a cornerstone of western jurisprudence for over 500 years; or to stop the funding of the iraq war, which over 70% of americans oppose. talk about misplaced priorities!I agree. Putzes. The Demowienies who are Republicans in Democrat clothing need to be unemployed. ASAP.
we citizens will not be quiet, we will not sit down in a corner out of sight, we will not allow a few over-paid millionaires dictate policy without input from us. that's called democracy in case you missed that class in school.
in fact we will actively work to get such spineless enablers that allowed this waste of time vote out of office.
I've been playing with the template. Again. The newest widget is called Snap Shots and what it does is give you a preview of some of the links. Ran into it at Mercury Rising and liked it so much that I added it to the page. Adblock Plus sometimes needs to be adjusted in order to view the cute little snapshots.
Actually, I'm not so much wondering if they've been bribed as whether they've been blackmailed. I mean, we know the Republicans have been spying on them, after all....
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that Feingold and Kucinich are the only ones who can't be blackmailed. The rest of Congress must have members of their families being held hostage, their behavior has been pretty bizarre.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the explanation, something needs to be done to rectify the situation. Too bad there aren't more real journalists instead of those who think that reporting what the administration says constitutes a job well done.
