    Defections have been known. Wait for the Cap and Trade bill to get to the floor.

    Helloooo!
    I wonder how many democrats are staining their shorts and panties now. The time to show their TRUE colors has arrived.
    I’m sure they wished Franken wasn’t elected. Obama will enter a new phase as President, fighting his own legislators. He will realize he is no Superman, just a simple mortal. Heavy stuff will start hitting the fan.

    Remember we have a few “blue dogs” in there who think of the country first. not the party line ala Oboy.

    oldlegodad, back off of that assertion. A lot of us think Obama thinks of the country first – long before the selfish moneygrubbers who ran the country previously.

    Very little will change until the corrosive effect of mega-money on legislation can somehow be removed from the equation.

    If you think King Baroke thinks of country first, wow are you gullible motive

    ..and when all the stuff you’ve been scooping up hits the fan, you’ll be the only one wearing it!

    My impression of Obama is not that he puts the country first so much as he puts humankind first.

    deadheadzanGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    DrCanuck, in that regard he is a real humanist, but he has stated that since he is president of this country, that is where his chief responsibility lies. I believe he also wants to be a very positive world leader.

    I stand corrected.

    After “Unitary presidency”- meaning Cheney: with Blackwater, Haliburton and KBR, Lockheed (Lynne’s company under the table) , Afghanistan, Iraq, oil futures “postponed”, even trying to imagine ANY administration LESS concerned about the good of the country over personal gain, OR more looking for “kingship” and a dynasty operating freely in a bath of greed is ethically and logically impossible.

    Karl Rove was trying to ensure a permanent Republican majority and he played every dirty, divisive trick in the book to get it.

    wow troutma, elegantly and eloquently stated!

    Halliburton, KBR, Blackwater, Cheney, and deadheadzan even includes Karl Rove…Beautiful! I even somewhat agree with your critique. And you included Lockheed! (Their fraud has been mostly under the radar as of late…I guess enough graft got spread to Democratic constituencies up until now…)

    Did Franken really win or did they just count the votes until they made enough miss counts and through out enough votes against him until the count came in his favor?

  22. NoFearPup

    NoFearPupGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    There were precincts where more voted than lived in the precincts…

  23. parkersinthehouse

    that’s just misinformation yo

  24. NoFearPup

    NoFearPupGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    I heard it somewhere…I imagine it might happen in a lot of places as a matter of course, or on purpose. Who knows?

    Here is the web link for the hate crimes act or “Pedophile Protection Act.” That Obama and the Democrats are trying to so hard to get signed into law. It has already passed the house on party lines. Democrats for it and Republicans against it.

    Oh, well; if someone “whispered it in the gallery,” it MUST be Democratic policy!

    (good grief!)
