Basically our congresscritters are stuck on stupid and don't want to give up being idiots.

[L98Fiero]

That's what I gather.

[jw777]

Pull a John Kerry and just don't show up for the vote.

Congressmoron is the correct terminology. No need to say Congressperson, Congresswoman, or Congressman, just Congressmoron.
For example,
Dear Congressmoron:
Enclosed is a map of the Middle East....

[plain talk]

Right. The legislation reflected ignorance about the issue and to now go forward with it when it is not needed reflects double stupidity and confirms that it was all about politics and not substance.

Basically our congresscritters are stuck on stupid and don't want to give up being idiots.

So self-serving and gutless, it's disgusting.

A friend used to have a saying to describe certain people's jobs: "Too honest to steal, and too lazy to get a real job."

Well, I'd say that was true of most congressmen, but I'm not sure about the stealing part, LOL.

Good, lets get a hard count recorded vote on how many hysterical, poll-chasing racist xenophobes we have on 'our side'

[CFC__VRWC]

I'm starting to think we may not even have to wait until 2007 to see an impeachment vote in the House.

[FreedomNeocon]

Lord help me... I actually have gained respect for McStain on this issue.

But only this once... I promise.

[Wasanother]

The Republican's better be careful because piling on could be political suicide. I wish they would just let the sleeping dog lie.

[rodguy911]

all about politics and not substance absolutely right. And now we have both sides playing Russian roulette with our troops safety at a time of war. Beyond belief!!

[TXBubba]

But only this once... I promise.

It's okay, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

[Republican Red]

Could Hassert be any more stupid?

Boeing relocates to Chicago and Hassert rewards them by sabotaging the company. Boeing will lose Billions because of this politican stunt.

[rodguy911]

No question that(impeach Bush) has always been the rats goal. I'm wondering how many on our side will join in, it's a whole new ball game out there. We in the new media have our jobs cut out for us between now and the 08 elections.

[Siena Dreaming]

Can't be allies with any "moose-limb" countries, don't you know.

Sheesh. Talk about 1 step forward, 4 steps back in the WOT. Congress knows how defeat us better than Al Queda.

[vbmoneyspender]

Just so I am clear on what constitutes being a racist-xenophobe nowadays, was it racist after 9/11 to give extra scrutiny to people attempting to obtains visas from Saudia Arabia, the UAE and Egypt?

[FreedomNeocon]

They're already screwed, they acted like boneheads and now its set in stone.

The American public will be become better informed (over the oooohhh REMAINING 39 days of the 'pause' they demanded to 'study' the deal), and these jerks will just sound worse and worse in retrospect.

But in that way, you are right... NOT adding more bad 'soundbytes' would slow the bleeding.

[Wasanother]

Instead of wasting their time on this dead issue they should begin to fix the same system they created that caused most of this mess.
