Editorials against escalation

From BuzzFlash [click here] comes a large number of editorials from around the country....I'm sure some wing nuts will say they did not look for the supportive ones but with this list of negatives....it's clear to me that only shrub, barney and laura want the escalation

Sen. Edward Kennedy Iraq Speech at National Press Club

Here's Kennedy speech on escalation at the National Press Club. He used to be my Senator and I still like him.

But, I was recently reflecting, I have never lived in a state that could be considered "red" so I have usually had at least one Senator I liked.

Poll ratings

On the sort-of-eve of the shrub's escalation speech...polls show he has tanked...and he hasn't even opened his mouth yet.

Of course in the ago of instant "news" and floating trial balloons to see-what-the-polls-say-we-should-say WH - we know he is asking for an escalation...and please let's use the correct term....it is an escalation.

King shrub probably has to practice his speech all day today and tomorrow so there is not much of a chance of it changing...so it's possible by tomorrow night only Laura and Barney will be the lone supporters of whatever he sputters!

And a big thank you to Ted Kennedy who proposes "to prohibit the use of funds for an escalation of United States Forces in Iraq above the numbers existing of January 9, 2007."

A thought

Seems the Iraqi "government" is going to crack down on the militias, etc...

It's about time...but as I was reading that - juxtaposed with shrubby's idea of escalation I thought that
maybe the Iraqi government has done more thinking about what a Democratic majority in the USA might do than has shrubby.

Bubble boy can not admit he is no longer in control of congress so he plods along in his own bubble with his yeasayers.

No one said Iraqi's are stupid...after all isn't that where civilization started? I think they are on the right track now while bubble boy stays in his bubble... or his dry drunk stupor?

Welcome Nancy Pelosi - WAY TO GO!!

OK - a WOMAN is in power in the USA. Took us long enough but it happened. And the previous speaker was not man enough to hand over the gavel...had his henchman do it...very odd...maybe he just does not like women.



Now it's time for Nancy to show the world what a woman in power can do - or a DEMOCRATIC woman can do. the rightwing had/has women in power positions and they acted like the male wingnuts....



speaking of which I see that Harriet Miers resigned and that was soon after Negroponte went off to help old friend Condi who is one of those female wingnuts mentioned above - or maybe she is contemplating a resignation and summoned him there to take over for her?



My prediction? January will see see more rates leaving the sinking ship
