You whiney Democratic wimps

Oh gosh, gee wiz, oh your so strong,
can I feel your muscles. Oh I am just swooning over the raw display of Democratic prowess. Oh my , I feel a bead of sweat trickling down my breast bone.
I do declare I think I may swoon.

Yeah , all you Democratic losers are so pitiful. Get use to republican power -
because there is more to come for many many years.

George Bush is the best thing that ever happened to you all, your like a bunch of
babies who need to be suckled on a republican tit.

It's just Karl Rove guest posting, Presstitute. He never passed third-grade English, and he failed the Army psych test. Both failures put him on a fast track to GOP membership.

You better hope that Republicans don't rule for a very long time....get your head out of the sand and take a look around you....you will be in a concentratin camp right along with us whiny Democratics...unending war..got kids? economical disaster..got big bucks?No Habeas Corpus...going to jail as an "enemy combatant" ? No Posse Comitatus..want to complain..use your first amendment rights, with out being shot by the National Guard? Wiretapping... want to have a quiet private little talk with your wife or girlfriend..? Patritot Act...want to keep your bank records to yourself, want to keep that porn site you go to unknown to co-workers? Corporation run government..you want a fair, livable wage, you want access to health care when you are sick or dying? Unitary Executive Laws...you want a President who makes up the laws, does as he pleases, abuses the Law..but throws you in prison and confiscates all your wordly goods? Like all of you right wing fascists idiot you don't even know this is not the United States of America, anymore

Don't panic righties your King will yank Specters chain..and that will be the end of it....hows the economy working out for you?

Hey, Paul.

The original story said the vote was 11-7, so I had assumed one Democrat must have been absent. Now you are reporting a 12-7 vote. What's the story there?

(And, as an aside, are the junior high schoolers all on holiday break already? Is that where we're getting all these new posters? Here's a tip, kids: a site like this is read by a lot of grown ups, many of whom interpret proper spelling and punctuation -- not to mention a civil tone -- as a sign of intelligence. Please proofread before posting. Thanks!)

Oh. And by the way. Specter is the mole in the SJC. He keeps the WH up to date on all the ongoing deliberations so they can develop counter-strategy in real time. And he gets to vote with the Dems once in a while when his vote WOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE just to keep his cover--such as in this case. Mole or snake. Take your pick. But he is their man. Look back over his track record.

Dear Paul:
Your penultimate sentence: "Or maybe nothing will happen." appears as the most likely scenario.
Unfortunately, given all our repeated experiences with the SJC I think more and more people will be inclined to tune out rather than staying tuned and getting slapped in the face.

SPECTER - WHAT A FUCKING TOAD!!!

The real story here is who will win the office poll that predicts when Specter will cave to the administration's directive on what his views really are.

>> as press secretaries go, Dana Perino is SMOKIN'!!! <<

Yah, but the real question is WHAT is she smokin'?

I'm with Phil James on the (in)significance of Specter's vote in favor of contempt -- since the Dems would have passed it without his vote it was just a ploy to pretend he's a legitimate actor rather than the stooge he always turns out to be when it matters. However, even though Specter is technically serving as a "mole" on the SJC, I have to agree with slb that he is also a "weasel". Now I know there's such a thing as a bollweevel so why not a "moleweasel"? Just askin'...

"Presumably there is some political calculus here that explains their apparent inability to hold anyone truly accountable"

The explaination is that many of our representatives are absolute villians. I think the general public would be shocked to know the extent of criminality that is rampant in our Congress. Blackmail, bribery, as well as treason is apparently going on at the highest levels. If there is a better explaination, I'd like to hear it.
