What the fuck man? (4.00 / 1)

WTF??!?!!?!?!?!?!

ANY DEMOCRAT WHO VOTES FOR THIS IS DEAD TO ME

sorry. This is the first I've heard of this.

Should this go to a vote, please provide the people with a list of the benedict arnolds.

Never again will they get a penny from me, while any future primary opponents will get money from me.

What the Fuck is in the D.C. water? (0.00 / 0)

These cowards can't vote to give our troops adequate rest and training but they want to censure a citizens group, yes Senator 'Slimeball' McCain they are citizens a higher form of life than you, for telling the truth about Bush's sockpuppet!

I think that if any 'Bush Dogs' break on this they are going to be in for a surprise. The citizenry has made it's decision on the 'ass-kissing little chickenshit...'. They think he's a liar.

I hope you are drinking only bottled water Matt.

The troops coined General Betrayus (0.00 / 0)

so if the Senate wants to condemn the troops fighting in Iraq then go for it.  A simple google search of the term will show the term dating back to 2003 or earlier from posts by service members.

political posturing (4.00 / 1)

I thought giving Democrats control of the Congress would put an end to Republican political stunts like this.  Why can't someone put an annoynmous hold on this one?

I don't think the people at MoveOn will care that much about it, but the whole thing is this lame attempt by Republicans to make the story about "those hippies" and not about how Senate GOPers are blocking widely popular measures repeatedly.  It is not just the war, but ethics reform, Rx drug pricing negotiation, CHIP, etc.

Any Democrat who gets up to talk, even if they vote against MoveOn, needs to mention this point.

Truth over balance, progress over ideology

Time to go on the attack (4.00 / 1)

MoveOn, last i noticed, had 100 times the membership roles and one percent of the influence of The Club For Growth (under 30,000 the last I checked a few months ago).  Introduce a resolution condemning them.  Double it and introduce a resolution condemning Ann Coulter.  She wants people dead.  Tripler it and make sure Petraeus is dead in the water.  Go after the little chickenshit with both guns blazing.  He's a political creature owned by George W. Bush and the son of a gun isn't getting results.  At least not good results.

If it makes anybody feel better the lamer than lame Susan Collins is portrayed in the Washington Post as going around the Senate offices saying lots of bad things about how Olympia Snowe left her high and dry by supporting the restoration of habeus corpus while Collins went with Bush.  Oh yeah, Collins, in a t least some of the pictures has bad hair to go with her bad temper and bad judgement.  And she likes clunky jewelry, too.  Go Tom Allen!

Senate to Condemn MoveON (0.00 / 0)

With the first complaints from the wingers, I sent a check to MoveOn.  If the senate votes to condemn, not only will I contact any coward Democrat . . . I'll double the check.

The Part Left Out Of The Emeror's New Clothes (0.00 / 0)

This is the part left out of the story, The Emperor's New Clothes, the part where the small child who blurted out that the emperor had nothing on was condemned by the privy council.

p.s.  There was also the part where he called the scam artists who made the "clothes", Guido and Luigi Farabutto, "Bare-a-butt-o."  He was condemned for that, too.

I hope the dems don't fall for this (0.00 / 0)

But moveon really fucked themselves with that ad.

Has an ad that labeled someone a traitor ever gone over well?

Point of fact.... (4.00 / 1)

Contributions and new members at MoveOn are way, way up.

Polling shows Americans think 'Betrayus' is a liar.

The ad was the simple truth, the troops know this, and the truth is something the ReichWing always hates. That's why the tremendous pushback by them.

If you don't agree with MoveOn then stop sending them money.

For my money they should run ads like this every week pointing out that:

Bush and Cheney are a liars.

Bush is incompetent.

Most Republicans are liars and thieves.

We need to turn out the majority of our elected officials as they are not representing us at all.

But hey!

That's just me.

The American People have spoken on this... (4.00 / 1)

'General 'Betrayus' is a liar' is what they said.

So...

If the ReThugs wanna piss on themselves with this 'Schiavo' resolution why....

Let them...

And if some 'Bush Dogs' wanna piss on themselves

Let them....

The voters are gonna speak in 2008 and judging from what the polls and even Robert Novak are saying the fools and tools who are stupid enough to do this....

Will take it in the ass.

Just like Senator Craig likes it. Some are talking about the possibility of destroying the Republican Party all together. I"ll settle for them being out of power until they mend their ways and become good citizens.

If anyone can do that the current leadership of that gang of thugs, Facistii and idiots can pull it off.

I intend to help.

And the sponsor? (4.00 / 1)

That would be John Cornyn, whose state and Senate campaigns have been bankrolled by Bob Perry, the moneybags behind the Swift Boat smears.

If he wasn't busily competing for the Dumbest Current Senator award, he might be vaguely aware of the abject hypocrisy. Any Democrat who votes for anything that comes out of that POS's mouth deserves censure.
