New Faces, Same Agenda

New Faces, Same Agenda - by Stephen Lendman The political firmament shook briefly post-November 7 raising hopes change would follow the Republican's drubbing at the polls and the Democrats regaining control of both houses of Congress for the first time since the GOP sweep in 1994. Presumed new House speaker Nancy Pelosi stopped the tremors making it clear no substantive change will be on the table when when the 110th Congress convenes on January 3. Instead, she announced to those paying attention it'll be business as usual (as it always is) as she intends to work with the president in a spirit of bipartisanship and not be "obstructionist" even though Republicans for past 12 years ...

Given that the long term memory of the goobs is less than about four days, I think the following should be presented to them as part of the Bush/GOP legacy: 1. America was attacked on September 11th, 1999 while Bill Clinton was President and Bill Clinton was ignoring all warnings of the September 11th attack because he was sleeping with Monica Lewinsky. But George Bush has apprehended the mastermind of these attacks, Saddam Hussein. The number of terrorism incidents around the globe have been reduced by 75% since 2001 under George W Bush. 2. Gas prices were $5 a gallon under Bill Clinton. Under the great leadership of George Bush, those prices have been cut in half, to $2.50 a gallon ...
Time For A Big Ol' Cup Of 'Shut The F*** Up'

Time For A Big Ol' Cup Of 'Shut The F*** Up' (311 comments ) READ MORE: Iraq, Ann Coulter, 2006, Bill O'Reilly, 2008, Karl Rove, Global Warming, George W. Bush Last week, I described a nightmare scenario in which the Republicans won the midterm prompting the president, high on mandate juice, to form the Department of Shut The F*** Up, headed by a sock puppet named Secretary Fiddlesticks. Now that the Democrats have taken back the Congress and 51+ percent of America finally has a voice in government again, I think it's time to seriously let fly. So at the risk of sounding contentious in this all-too-genuine era (several days) of bipartisanship, here now is a roll call of people ...
Meet The Non-Democrats

Meet The Non-Democrats ThinkProgress | HuffPo | Posted Saturday November 11, 2006 at 02:00 PM Tomorrow will be the first "Meet The Press" since the Democrats swept both the House and the Senate in the midterm elections, and ThinkProgress and HuffPo's own Stephen Kaus point out something interesting: Special guests Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman were not part of the aforementioned Democratic sweeping of the House and Senate. While both are obviously experienced and no doubt chatty (we know this from McCain's regular appearances on the show), it's interesting to note what they were invited on the program to discuss: "The midterm election results, the Iraq war, the ...

Kill that Old Hag! By Kirill Pankratov ( pkirill88@hotmail.com ) Kirill Pankratov takes a big Russian dump on Britain's chest...and that pathetic island is all the better for it... http://www.exile.ru/transient/238/pantratov2.jpg ACTON, MASS - A recent Woody Allen movie Match Point, set in and around London, borrows heavily from the Dostoyevskian theme in Crime and Punishment. But of course, in Hollywood tradition it couldn't show the dark gloomy tenements of the 19th century with starving students. Instead of a poor Raskolnikov in shabby clothes, Allen shows a sleek yuppie in a good suit, and a gorgeous babe - an aspiring actress - rather than a vile old wench as a sacrificial beast. ...
Vote Fraud? How AIPAC Lieberman 'Won'

We may have the clearest evidence of vote fraud coming out of Connecticut with the re-election of Pro-Israel Joe Lieberman as an Independent. http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=95480 Now, how exactly did Lieberman win TWO elections and his two opponents got exactly the SAME number of votes at exactly 448,077 votes each time?!?! "In Connecticut Ned Lamont (Dem.) lost EXACTLY with THE SAME number of votes as did Phil Giordano (Rep.) collected in 2000." Any of you mathematical geniuses want to calculate the odds on that? It is beyond staggering. It is statistically IMPOSSIBLE and could not happen twice in one million years, much less twice in 6 years for one lucky ...

Washington, D.C., November 9, 2006: “ My brother-in-law is a professional military officer, stationed in the Washington area and from him I learned over lunch today that Israel has finally determined to launch what they consider to be a preemptive military strike against Iran’s capacity to manufacture and, most especially, to deliver an atomic weapon against Israel. I was told that Israel is desolated by the neutering of Bush’s ability to support this attack. Congress is now seen as a block to Bush’s militant plans and so the decision is being formulated not only in Tel Aviv but also in Washington to “materially assist” an Israeli attack with satellite ...

Because I'm a kindly fellow, I'm going to give you one minute more to rejoice about the election returns. Yes, the Bush-Cheney military-industrial-evil complex finally took one on the chin, and it made a very satisfying sound. People who were afraid that Karl Rove had magic witchy-witchy electoral powers were relieved. And some pretty nasty individuals (Richard Pombo, Rick Santorum) had one or more sleepless nights, and although we are much too evolved humans to take pleasure in that, we can take pleasure in the fact that less evolved people will take pleasure in this discomfiture of villains. OK, playtime is over. Nothing has changed. Same president, same policies, same corruption, same ...

Dershowitz's Smear Anti-Semitism? You Just Don't Like What I Say!

Anti-Semitism? You Just Don't Like What I Say! By NEVE GORDON Alan Dershowitz, Harvard's Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, has decided to attack me personally, thinking that if he undermines my reputation he can save his own. Paradoxically, he manages to prove one thing in his recent diatribe in the Jerusalem Post: that he is a consistent man. As in his book The Case for Israel, here too, he relentlessly passes fiction for fact. Despite Dershowitz's claims, I never compared Israelis to Nazis, and I certainly am not a neo-Nazi or anti-Israeli. Like Dershowitz, I am an American citizen, yet unlike him I have chosen to live in Israel and invest a large portion of my time struggling for ...
The Road Not Taken: Forfeiting a Majority (Total Barf Alert)

The post-mortems are accumulating, but I think the obvious has to be stated: John McCain and his colleagues in the Gang of 14 cost the GOP its Senate majority while the conduct of a handful of corrupt House members gave that body's leadership the Democrats. The first two paragraphs of my book Painting the Map Red --published in March of this year, read: If you are a conservative Republican, as I am, you have a right to be worried. An overconfident and complacent Republican Party could be facing electoral disaster. Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean, and a host of others could be looming in our future and undoing all the good we've tried to do. It is break the glass and pull the alarm time for ...

The Republican Taliban and my "Conversion" (Orthodox Christian helped defeat Allen)

The Republican Taliban and my "Conversion" 11.09.2006 I had a little something to do with helping Democrat James Webb get elected. And I'm (rather I was) a Republican. In the process I learned something. I wrote an op-ed for the Dallas Morning News ("Against The Grain" November 1, 2006) that was picked up by several hundred blogs. Within forty-eight hours I received five or six hundred emails---many friendly, some not. My op-ed expressed furry with the George Allen campaign for using out-of-context quotes from James Webb's novels to embarrass him with Virginia's voters. I quoted a scurrilous email Allen supporters were circulating accusing him of being a ...

The Election: From Iron Fist to "Velvet Hammer" Cryptocracy Opts for Velvet Hammer over Iron Fist by Michael A. Hoffman II Lost in the election hoopla is the massacre this week of 19 Palestinian civilians as part of what I term the "slow motion genocide" of Arabs. The latest Israeli slaughter is not even a blip on the screen of our collective consciousness. In other news, a Roman Catholic prelate, Daniel Dolan, who does not recognize the current Pontiff as a legitimate pope and operates a traditionalist church in Ohio, has broadcast a sermon on "Rendering unto Caesar" that mentions this writer and other topics of interest.

AnalysisBush’s Chernobyl economy; hard times are on the wayBy Mike WhitneyOnline Journal Contributing Writer Nov 9, 2006, 01:24 In the next few months, a financial crisis will arise somewhere in the world which will jolt the American economy and trigger a swift and precipitous decline in the value of the dollar. This is not speculation; it will happen and there is nothing that the Bush administration can do to stop it. All of the traditional supports for the dollar have been removed by a shrinking economy, a massive $800 billion account deficit, dramatic increases in the money supply, and the reckless manipulation of interest rates. Now, the noose is tightening. Our foreign ...
Cindy Sheehan on going to funerals vs. Bush going to rodeos

I Have Been to Funerals Sit Down for Change and Stand Up for Peace Day 3 Cindy Sheehan I haven't met anyone who likes to go to funerals. Attending a funeral must be one of the last things anyone of us would ever choose to do. Here in America we are even more distanced from death than we are from birth. Both natural activities have been made abnormal and something that only happens in hospitals. Even though I had my babies at home, I am totally like the average American who has an aversion to death and funerals. So, can you imagine the feeling of panic and immeasurable pain when I awoke on April 13, 2004, the morning of my son's funeral? Can you imagine how I was feeling when I took a ...
Protecting Elections from Fringies and Fanatics

The Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for their stinging electoral setbacks on Tuesday, and it’s neither honorable nor conservative to explain our own failures by criticizing the folly of others. Nevertheless, some of the high profile disasters suffered by the GOP once again illustrate the consistently insane and destructive role of fringe parties in American politics. At the conclusion of a long night of counting, control of the US Senate (and through the Senate, potential control of the Supreme Court for decades to come) came down to two cliffhanger races in Virginia and Montana. In both contests, the Democrats appeared to prevail, giving them the barest of majorities ...

So you think "the system worked", democracy has won out, and that yesterday's election is the first step to straightening out the mess Bush and the Neocons have made on the planet? Think again. It's not that "the system" didn't work; it worked very well, but you have again been duped. Nothing has changed. In fact, many of you have been put back to sleep by the staged Democratic victory which was set up just for that purpose; to make you think you still live in a democracy. The fact is, the Zionist halter is as firmly strapped on the head of American State policy as it ever was, and the American voter needs to realize that it is immaterial which party prevails at ...

Yesterday America stood up and told Bush, "Stop it. Shut up. We think you're an idiot. We think you're a moron. We're sorry you got the job. You are not the king. You are a dumb jock frat boy, and you always will be. You will now stop all this shit, immeditately. We voted yesterday and threw your boys out of Congress. If you don't want us coming after your own ass, you will sign what we pass and change your ways." Yesterday we spoke. We reduced the Universal Presdient to the Little Boy President. A slap in the face. A kick in the ass. A rejection. A repudiation of a President who has embarassed us before the world, put our safety at great risk, and perverted the constitution he ...
A WELL-EARNED KICK IN THE GUT [Nealz Nuze]

THE DAY AFTER, November 8, 2006 A WELL-EARNED KICK IN THE GUT The voters gave the Republicans a well-earned kick in the gut yesterday. They have taken control of the House of Representatives by an overwhelming margin. They needed 15 seats to get control. They have won at least 28. As of this morning the Senate is still in play. At best the Republicans will have a one-seat margin in the Senate. When I got up at 4:00 this morning and started to look at results, I can honestly say that I was neither surprised nor disappointed. I've been saying this for weeks ... and I'll say it again right now ... this may be the best possible outcome for the future of our Republic. This is good news .. ...

Why Black Republicans keep losing. Dream Deferred by Conor Clarke Only at TNR Online | Post date 11.08.06 In July of 2005, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman did something unfashionable: He apologized. And it wasn't about sex or scandal, or even on his own behalf. Mehlman, speaking at the annual NAACP convention, was attempting to make amends for the way his party had treated black voters. "Some Republicans gave up on winning the African American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," he declared to a somewhat dubious crowd. "I am here as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong." A year and a ...

I knew a country once. It was called "America". "Libertarians" and Republicans who didn’t vote; YOU ARE TRAITORS to that country and your so called conservative values. It’s that simple.
