“Bob, you said what I have been thinking for a long time now.RE: Reid,
" allowing one successful Republican filibuster after another, while simultaneously enabling ridiculous and disingenuous Republican talking points, if not repeating them outright.

I believe that Reid is a Republican at heart. He mucks up all the real important Democratic proposals and allows the Repugnants to hold sway with a minorty of votes in Congress.

Also, All those people at Guantanamo who were tortured or held for extended periods of time without access to fair representation must be released ASAP.
If as a result of their mistreatment they lash out at Americans, that is the price we pay for allowing Criminals like Bush, Cheney, Gonzales, Rumsfelt, all employees of Black Water and all other so called contractors that participated in thes crimes to continue to roam free in tis country.
Hopefully President Obama will realize the folly of keeping these people illegally detained and will obey the law.”

“Truth...”

“Arianna,
Bravo!”

“Richard Levin, is right to say the should include Obama's stimulus package should contain fewer tax cuts ( the rich don't need any and should pay even more taxes) and more real spending on programs that will accelerate America's move to a green economy. He is wrong to suggest that "As industrial production drops the sense of urgency to make the transition to green jobs will also go down. Most of the American people are not stupid. After all Obama and the Democratic Party Won. Oh and BTW, Stupid went back to Texas .”

“I agree . However I always wanted Panetta. He is a person you can trust.”

“Hey Leonardo ,

When you decide to trade it in for a newer greener model please let me know, I'll give you $30,000 for it in drivable condition.”

“Mr. Yarrow,

In some respects Your songs have contributed to Barack Obama's great victory. Your song have inspired many people the world over to take up causes for the good of humanity .”

“Arianna said,

"""The collapse of Communism as a political system sounded the death knell for Marxism as an ideology. But while laissez-faire capitalism has been a monumental failure in practice, and soundly defeated at the polls, the ideology is still alive and kicking. """

Both Totalitarian Stalinism miss labled as( Communism) and Reagan trickle down Capitalism
are dead. Laissez-faire means government hands off. the Reagan/ Bush era was marked by Govenment / Corporatist colluding to oppress the Working Class Hardly hands off, IMO. ,The Economic System of the 21st century will be Socialism.
It is much more Equatible, Sustainable and Democratic compared to the dead systems.”

“To infinity and beyond...”

“Ingrid, I completely agree with you assessment of Mr. Penn and his good work. I would like to see President-Elect Obama appoint Mr. Penn as some sort of Goodwill Ambasador to Central/South America. It is high time to improve or relations with Cuba and Venezuela and the rest of the region.
Democratic Socialism is the economic model for the 21st century. It is a much more sustainable Economic concept and is far more equatible than Capitalism.”

“I agree with you two.

Lets all make sure we VOTE”

“Note the face of a typical McCain supporter. Pathetic...”

“The pathetic face of a typical McCain supporter.”

“Dan, Your assessment is interesting. I sure hope it does blow up the GOP but IMO, you are giving McCain too much credit.
The GOP is self distructing because the are a bunch of nut cases. You have your Greedy Corporatist types that that are willing to outsource living wage jobs and in the process cut off their nose to spite their face for short term profits. Then there are the religious nuts that believe their religion is right and all others are wrong and therefore they can crap on people all week and then go to church on sunday and all is forgivin. Then there are the racists, immigrant haters and union hater rednecks who are working class and themselves suffering under the Republicansbut would rather see the people they hate suffer rather than join with the Democrats to make things better for everyone.
These are the pathetic people who make up the Republican Party and they are the reason the Republican Party will self distruct in 2008.”

“Palin is a sad and patheic example that typifiesthe very essence of the Republican party of the Reagan-Bush Era. Obama, Biden and the DNC must not handle her any different than they handle McCain, Bush, Rove or any other Republican hypocrite.
America must finally come to know the true nature of these republican scoundrels.”

“Obama should put Hillary to work as VP and utilize Bill as a Roman ambasador.”

“Senator Clinton would be Obama's best choice period, Man or Women!”

“Marion Jone is now more than ever a disgrace. She has stooped so low as to ask Criminal Bush to commute her sentence. Pathetic”

“Ellis,Great comment!
I am a Yankee fan and was personally glad to see that McCain once again exposed his true colors. He left after 6 innings. A real Yankee fan doesn't generally leave when the game is tied.
Based upon the way McCain treats his Wife and his temper he has more in common with Ted Williams who is a pathetic excuse for a human much less a Yankee.”

“Senator Clinton, Thanks again for your good work.”

“I agree with Arianna.

Condi turned out to be just another empty Pantsuit.

BTW, I have nuthing against women in suits.I love the way Arianna looks in a suit or anything else for that matter...”

“bassman,

You regurgitate that tired old swill utilized by the Repugnants and Neo_cons, mixing apples and oranges ( Democracy and Republic). We are indeed a Republic that employs Democratic Principles to govern. Many Republics are Un-Democratic and are such because they aren not governed by a King, etc.
Our Founding Fathers were well aware of the potential for Mob Rule and the oppression of the Majority against the Minority, that is why they created a Constitutional and Representative Democracy with a Bill of Rights and Check & Balances.
I will grant that our Democracy is not perfect,it is a work in progress. In the 1950 & 1960 we made great gains for Political and Social Justice through both Democratic Legislation and Social Action. Our Democracy must evolve to embrace Economic Justice issues with the same level of Activism and Democratic action we employed during the Civil Rights Movement.
BTW, your other ploy of painting Democrats & Republicans with the same broad brush is another ploy used by the Repugnants and Neo-Cons.
There is no denying the fact that since FDR the Democratic Party has been the Party of the People in the USA.”

“It was no Revolution it was a pathetic Reactionary Movement.”

“It is high time that the American People realize that since the begining of our nation we have been in a struggle betweenCapitalism and Democracy. For example; During the FDR,JFK, LBJ and to a lesser degree under Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton it looked like Democracy was gaining the upper hand. Under Reagan, GWB, and to a lesser degree under Nixon an Bush 1, Capitalism had the upper hand.
It is clear that in order to progress as a civilized nation we must develop and embrace an economic system that supports and promotes Democracy. It should come as no suprise that Socialism is a far more Equatible, Just and Democratic.
It is high time that Americans end their infacuation with Faux "Rugged Individualism "and Predatory Capitalism.”

“Max Great job of reporting. Keep on keeping them honest.”
