Whitee - Purveyor of Fine Beats...Provider of Lyrical Treats
Music, culture & politics. We'll also update Whitee's recording progress.Saturday, August 05, 2006
I think I'm pretty fair with my assessments of Republicans & Democrats. I'm not a "homer", if a Green is doing something not cool, I say it. I definitely cut my political (and emotional) ties with Ralphy when he started bugging out. And I like to give credit where it's due. So it's with tempered enthusiasm that I point out a couple of things...
THIS is what I'm talking about! This report on the War Criminal's administration's handling of Iraq and how they've used it to be traitors, criminals and profiteers is what the Dems should have been doing years ago rather than being concerned they might be seen as unAmerican. Of course, Conyers is the ranking D in this committee.
Now this thing is pretty massive. An abstract of this should made and every Democrat in Congress should be barnstorming the nation talking about this report. This report should not just sit on a shelf...the corporate press isn't going to do anything about it. They need to force it down the public's throat.
More semi-kudos go out to one of my least favorite in politics, Senator Clintonbagger. I can explain my loathing of her pretty easily - she's a slimy liar and I don't appreciate anyone who takes the values I hold and uses them for her own slimy purposes. I take it as a personal insult.
It's with that, that I do commend her on her recent questioning of that nutjob Rummy and calling for his resignation. That would be great if he did (but he won't), but calling for that wacko to resign is not the same as calling for the ending of occupation. And I won't hesitate to say that what she did is purely a calculated move to get her some political chips somewhere. I've been wincing, watching lefties online & the few in the media trip over themselves commending Clintonbagger on the Rumsfeld questioning. It's as if they finally have an actual reason to recognize her as a Dem.
And finally, this isn't an "ah-ha" moment or anything like that. But I'll just post this link as food-for-thought. Long-term...the two corporate parties are closer than they are apart.
