The Tar Baby.or.Why Conservatives Can Rejoice

[tabs]

Yasirrrr...there is an ole sayin, that U should be carefull of what U wish for....U just mite get it.

The Democrats wished that they could win back the House and the Senate...the People fullfilled their wish...

What got the Dems into power again, was largely the fiasco that GW brewed in Iraq...Now they have gotten back into power, they have to do something with Iraq, they have to perform. They now share RESPONSIBILITY about what happens in Iraq.

Ohhh and when the Dems find out that there is NO FKING SOLUTION to keeping Gasoline prices at the sub $3.00 a gallon level, except for "Staying the Course" in Iraq they are gona know they got stuck with a TAR BABY.

And COME 2008, the American people are gona look at the Dems as a bunch of lying sacks of ***** and vote them outa office, cause they couldn't rid themselves of that Tar Baby.

So Conservatives REJOICE the American people will only remember the last ones to lie to them and in this case it will be the Dems over the Tar Baby named Iraq.

You suffer from premature ejaculation sir.

From a kids site, because that's the level you are operating at.

How often do representatives run for election?
Representatives are elected for a term of 2 years. The term begins at the start of a new Congress, which is set at noon on January 3rd of each odd-numbered year following a general election, unless by law a different day is chosen. Each year of the Representative's term normally makes up a separate session of a Congress. There is no Constitutional limit to the number of times a Representative can run for office.

Ah, no, actdually they merely have to cut off funds, it's still Bush II's responsibility to deal with getting the troops out properly, he's still the C-in-C.

And if the USA should pull out of the Tar Pit via "cutting off funds" Gasoline will start pushin $4 a Gallon overnight and in 6 months should be around $9 a Gallon and when the Region gets sucked into the Pit...lets say $12 for a Gallon of Gasoline....

There might come a point in which US tax revenues are too dimished to meet US credit obligations.

Said it before and will say it again... this will be fun to watch.

Pelosi might using those new office drapes as a funeral shroud.

It won't bother me to see both parties dragged into oblivion by this mess, but that's not likely to happen quickly.

Look for the US government adding additional impositions of government authority to subvert the Constitution while it dies.

The Mid-term election held in November of 2006 has determined that on Jan 3, 2007 the Democratic Party shall be the Majority Party in both the House of Reps and Senate. As such the Democratic party will be sharing responsibility with the Executive Branch over the course that America takes. While it is in the perview of the Executive Branch to make Foreign Policy decisons, the Congress does have the power of the purse and oversight capabilities to help shape policy. Thus in the eyes of the American people the Democratic party will start to share in the responsibilty of the American involvement in the Iraqi Tar Pit. When the Reality of Iraq hits the fan, the Democrats are going to be forced to "stay the course" or face the consequences of a failed state in a Tinder Box of a Region that is of National and International strategic importance because it supplys 25% of the worlds daily supply of Petroleum Products.

Threaten to or CUT OFF that 25% of daily supply and what does the price of a barrel of oil become. The remaining oil supply will go to the HIGHEST Bidder...National Survival then becomes at stake. Thats why the lights are burning late in DC....and GW has called on Jim "Wild Bill" Baker to help get the USA outa the mess GW and his Neo-con crew have gotten the World into.

Ohhh the Constitution is allready dead...Americans just don't know it yet...they are too busy watching football and buying Play Stations for the younguns.

I would say it died in 2000 with all the Litigation about the election returns...If U notice NO canidate has pushed that button since..lots of threats thou...Also I would say that Lobbyist money has subverted the system dangerously.

However I might be a bit hasty in proclaiming the passing of the Constitution.

For many years now I have seen the signs of Dictatorship on the horizon...

You are 100% correct sir.

I wish them luck just like I wished Bush luck when he took office. Unfortunately they are equally capable of handling the tasks put before them. That will, I think, be clearly demonstrated to the voters in the next 2 years.

The Repubs will keep the presidency, for sure. Good chance of taking back the Senate in 08, too.

The House will take a few years more. But this takeover of the House and Senate was something that could have easily been a 10 or 15 year reign.

Wish I had more faith in the above statement. A rudderless ship upon the ocean comes to mind when I think of the Democrats but now they have the chance to prove me wrong. I just hope that our nations security does not suffer in the interim.

Time will tell...

[the]

LOL, I think we agree on how the Dems are going to do.

But apparently we disagree as to how capable Bush is.

[Moneyguy1]

Gee, tabs..

And len thinks I am paranoid and fatalistic.....

Just keep in mind the single fact: If the administration AND the congress had been doing the job they were elected to do in the first place, the Reps would still be in control and the citizenry would be happy. But, since they dropped the ball, the electorate did the only thing they could do in registering their dissatisfaction. I would not rejoice too soon. The welfare of the Country and indeed the world should be FAR more important than party loyalty.

The lying sacks O'doggy-doo have always shared the responsibility of the Iraq war, they are just too cowardly to admit it or accept it.
Take a good look at the original vote to authorize military action in Iraq. A whole bunch of very important democrats voted for it. They stood up and beat their chests and made speaches about how improtant it was to go there and spread democracy. As much as it bothers them, it is public record.

Oh yeah, it was their idea as much as anyone elses. as soon as the bad press started coming in, they switch to their other faces. "Oh no, it's not our idea, he made us do it. We didn't want to." They said they were tricked by bad intelligence (now there's a straight line). The president was studying the same intelligence as they were and they all came to the same conclusion.
Later, the dems lied and said that the president doctored up the intelligence to cover for them being poverty pimps and saying anything that will please the poor and lower middle class, the "less informed".

Asshats. It's about time they stopped pointing fingers at the republicans took some responsibility for the mess they helped to create instead of blaming it on someone else.
Reminds me of the little kid who breaks a lamp and blames it on his little brother.

[Moneyguy1]

I keep asking the same question, not as a Dem or a Rep, but simply as an observer:

To whom do the people assembling the information used to brief Congress report? To whom do they owe their jobs? Once again, I refer you folks to the article in the latest issue of "U.S. News and World Report" titled "Who Lost Iraq?"

Washington is so bizarre and removed from reality that I would not exclude anything from the realm of possibility.

And meanwhile our troops die in the trenches by the 1000s..ouppss wrong war....

[Moneyguy1]

That reference simply serves to show the effect of technology on warfare. Too bad we are getting pasted by the technology of yesteryear!!

No matter how U cut it there is no substitute for Boot on the Ground.

[Flatbutt1]

I don't see any cause for rejoicing. Neither party is capable of handling the situation since both parties are proceeding from a flawed perspective. Namely that THEY and ONLY they have the answer.

[techweenie]

If by rejoicing, you mean being totally discredited for the next 10+ years, then yes, conservatives are no doubt rejoicing.

Not only did they go along with the Smirking Chimp's excuses for regime change, and pork out at the public trough, giving billions to their corporate buddies, but they also allowed the national debt to nearly double.

[tabs]

If the Dems get their way of a Gradual Pullout without securing Iwreck, Irwreck will go South on US in a hurry and the Dems will be blamed for the resulting economic carnage. So wave bye bye to the House and the Senators who are up in 2008.
