Democrats Worthy of Praise

“Joe Lieberman gave a speech at the 43rd Munich Conference on Security Policy. He 'gets it' more than Bush. He shows a better understanding of what we face than the guy who seems to strive for mediocrity and stalemates. He didn't sugar coat it and use only vague language. He lays it all out.

His speech.”

“short list...not shocking”

“I thought he was a Libertarian, not a democrap.”

“He's a Liebertarian.”

“he he he he”

“I'm a labeetotarian.”

“Anyone else notice Lieberman looks like Emperor Palpatine but sounds like Ben Stein?


Bueller? Bueller?”

“Liberman was not elected as a Democrat.”

“He is an independent....LOL this has to be killing the libbies I mean the guy was virtually disowned by the PAHTEE and then went on to whip the tail of their boy. So the question is do you invite him to Ft Marcy park (the Hillary option) or do you Kowtow to him and hope he forgets.”

“Code Pink dogs Clinton on 2008 trail
By Sam Youngman
March 28, 2007
An anti-war group, Code Pink, is hounding Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) at almost every stop she makes on the campaign trail, hitting her again yesterday as she joined other candidates in seeking a union endorsement.

Standing in front of the Capitol Hill Hyatt Regency, the group made its presence known, inviting a sea of union members from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers to “go back downstairs and kiss Hillary’s a--.”

While the group of laborers, enjoying cigarettes between speakers at the Communications Workers of America (CWA) forum, looked on with bemused interest, the protesters sang songs and waved signs advising Clinton not to “buy Bush’s war.”

Although they rarely show up at an event in large numbers, the pink-clad protesters do make their presence known with persistence and intensity.

As The Hill reported last week, former President Bill Clinton all but acknowledged his wife’s glaring vulnerabilities — stemming from her vote for the Iraq war authorization in 2002 — by offering an animated and full-throated defense of her decision.

That vote and her refusal to apologize for it, combined with continued votes for the war-funding bill, has spurred the anti-war crowd to make itself a thorn in Sen. Clinton’s side at most every campaign event.

While the crowd at the CWA forum repeatedly rewarded Clinton’s Tuesday morning speech with standing ovations, Code Pink’s presence was noticed and mentioned by the labor brass present.

“We don’t need that to be the focus of the news today,” CWA’s secretary-treasurer, Barbara Easterling, told the group.

One of Code Pink’s co-founders, Gael Murphy, said the group has been following Clinton for almost two years and will continue to do so until she introduces legislation to bring American soldiers home from Iraq. Murphy said it was likely the group would protest Clinton and other candidates at this morning’s forum sponsored by the Building and Construction Trades Department of the AFL-CIO.

“We think it’s important to put pressure on her as one of the most important politicians in the United States,” Murphy said.
Murphy said not even an apology for the 2002 vote, like the one rival candidate and former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) has given, would appease the group.

“She’s welcome to apologize, and it would be great to hear her apologize,” Murphy said, adding that the group would only be satisfied with a candidate who will “sincerely demonstrate” his or her commitment to ending “the occupation” of Iraq.

Murphy said the group has been targeting a number of candidates, including Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), at whose Chicago field office it has been conducting weekly sit-ins.

But Clinton’s front-runner status has made her a marked woman for anti-war candidates.

Clinton’s campaign did not return phone calls from The Hill Tuesday, but President Clinton hardly was shy in his wife’s defense last week, questioning the fairness of media reporting on Sen. Clinton’s votes.

“It’s just not fair to say that people who voted for the resolution wanted war,” the former president said last week.

Murphy said this week’s vote on supplemental funding for the Iraq war is an “opportunity” for Clinton to start making her way back into the group’s good graces.

“Yep.”

“They do want business tells them to do and rite now the war industry has the biggest 'buyem budget'.”

“Using experience, competence and track record as the criteria (as opposed to ideology) I'd say the two most qualified Democratic candidates are now out of the race. Bill Richardson and Joe Biden got very little attention. Senator Dodd, also out, might have been number 3. Richardson, IMO, was the most qualified in either party.

McCain is probably the most qualified candidate remaining for either party. Given the state of the Supreme court, ideology may trump qualifications for me if its a close call.”

“I don't know if you should include Biden in there. That boy engages his mouth before the brain.”

“Ron Paul wins hands down on getting rid of needless government. He isn't nicknamed Dr. No, because he always said 'NO' I'll vote for that spending bill.”

“McCain is probably the most qualified candidate remaining for either party.

His record on freedom of speech raises flags with me.”

“Illigration should keep him out unless we are seeing diminishing immigration importance.”

“Nigal - McCain has a number of positions that don't thrill me, I was trying to make a - admittedly somewhate arbitrary - distinction between positions on issues and qualifications (experience, job record, competence).

I was thinking of Biden's foot-in-mouth disease as more a matter of style, but I guess you could call it a competence issue since a President needs to keep in mind that he or she represents America and that when s/he looks like a jerk its negative for all of us.”

“Ronald Reagan proved that lack of experience didn't keep him from being as bad as all before him.”

“hey, did anyone hear edwards dropped out?”

“Yea, he wanted to spend more time with his hair.
LOL”

“Bush kicks demorats in the nads, again, LOL!

Senate Votes for Expansion of Spy Powers

WASHINGTON � After more than a year of wrangling, the Senate handed the White House a major victory on Tuesday by voting to broaden the government�s spy powers and to give legal protection to phone companies that cooperated in President Bush�s program of eavesdropping without warrants.

One by one, the Senate rejected amendments that would have imposed greater civil liberties checks on the government�s surveillance powers. Finally, the Senate voted 68 to 29 to approve legislation that the White House had been pushing for months. Mr. Bush hailed the vote and urged the House to move quickly in following the Senate�s lead.

The outcome in the Senate amounted, in effect, to a broader proxy vote in support of Mr. Bush�s wiretapping program. The wide-ranging debate before the final vote presaged discussion that will play out this year in the presidential and Congressional elections on other issues testing the president�s wartime authority, including secret detentions, torture and Iraq war financing.

Republicans hailed the reworking of the surveillance law as essential to protecting national security, but some Democrats and many liberal advocacy groups saw the outcome as another example of the Democrats� fears of being branded weak on terrorism.

�Some people around here get cold feet when threatened by the administration,� said Senator Patrick J. Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who leads the Judiciary Committee and who had unsuccessfully pushed a much more restrictive set of surveillance measures.

Among the presidential contenders, Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, voted in favor of the final measure, while the two Democrats, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, did not vote.

Ted Kennedy Dumps Fuel into Nantucket Sound

Ted Kennedy has called Nantucket Sound near his Massachusetts estate �a national treasure� � but that didn�t stop the senator from having oil dumped from his yacht into its waters.


A local photographer spotted an oil slick coming from Kennedy�s yacht Mya as Kennedy and his guests left the vessel in a launch following a race that ended in Hyannis, the Cape Cod Today newspaper reported.


The lensman was so shocked that he rowed his dinghy out to question the crew member left aboard the yacht.


He asked the crewman, �What the hell are you doing?�


The crewman said that diesel fuel had gotten into the bilge and he was told to dump it.


When the photographer pointed out that the yacht was moored in coastal waters near shellfish beds and people swimming, the crewman replied, �Whatever.�


Cape Cod Today published a photo showing the oil slick emanating from Mya.


As Newsmax reported earlier, Kennedy has opposed a proposal to construct a wind farm in Nantucket Sound to produce cheap, clean energy. Asked why, he said: �That�s where I sail.�
