at least I hope so

and call out these republi-CON assholes. Like hastert should talk - after he openly and publicly stated that maybe New Orleans should just be bulldozed and forgotten. FUCK him. You can dish it out, assholes, but you can't take it, can you? How's it feel taking the heat now?

Also, make sure you call Pelosi's office and give her a resounding "attagirl!" FINALLY she's saying what needs to be said, and I hope she doesn't back down.

PLEASE do this guys.

I'm going to do it again tomorrow morning after the kids leave for school.

If they had any stones they'd be calling for Bush & CHeney's resignations.

She said she was being polite when she called bush dangerous :D

We're ready.

People are yelling at them and they always fold.

You're wanted on the set ASAP!

Please be sure to bring our prepared apology with you!

were not over the line?

And Zell Miller's speech there and insane remarks to a reporter afterwards were not over the line?

Give me a break

I remember those clearly as I was running around Manhattan, protesting.

And House Speaker Dennis Hastert says there's a huge recovery job ahead, and politicians can -- in his words -- "either join in" or "stand aside and criticize."

Hey... that sounds a lot like "They're either with us or they're against us"

this could be our new montra

and it scares me that it just might work AGAIN

EVER.

And don't you let them silence YOU, either!

fucking hypocrites.

Waaah waaah, they're playing politics. Like you aren't, you fucking toad?

They are already playing the Hurricane Floyd card against FEMA under Clinton & Witt.

these people have no grasp of reality.

I know it won't accomplish a damned thing on its own. But it might make me feel better. And who knows, if he gets a thousand other calls like mine he might just shut his idiot mouth.

You mean like the pukes did with 9-11 ?

helping.

DUH!

Some of us can multitask (liberals) and some can't (spinning Repugs - spin is all they can do).

There's no reason why one should cancel out the other. It is entirely possible to do what's needed to help people recover from this disaster and still criticize those were responsible for the mess they made of it.

Of course Dems will pitch in and help. All the while reminding those who helped create this situation they are ultimately repsonsible for it.

From the clip I saw on CNN this morning.

My God will it never end? The next thing you know they will be calling for an independent prosecutor, you remember Ken Star with 5 years and 70 Million dollars, don't you?

Why aren't the republicans calling for impeachment? Do they want to go down with the Radical Right? They can if they want to.

Now, more than ever, they need positive reinforcement. Because you can bet everything you own that they're getting it, hard and heavy, from the bad guys. Let them hear that the bad guys aren't the only ones on the offensive. WE are, too. And we need them FILLED with calcium supplements for their brand new backbones.

Call Pelosi. Call Mary Landrieu! No more "Gidget Goes to Hell" for her, I see. GOOD! Glad she snapped out of that "I just wanna THANK pResident bush..." crap.

And has anyone mentioned karl rove going over the line in saying democrats' had poor speed and care in 9/11? WHOOPS! It looks like democrats aren't the slow and uncaring ones after all, better reverse this and blame them for 'mean words'.

Bunch of sissies in high-tech weaponry.

Tens of thousands of dead bodies don't lie and we won't shut up.

How is it "constructive" to ignore the blatantly obvious failures of the response to Katrina? My father gave me this same reasoning - "now is not the time." If not now, when? Later, when the memories have softened and the gop has managed to come up with a smooth game plan to deflect criticism? No, we have to keep hammering them NOW.

God, I hope the Dems don't fold - sometimes, we're just too damn polite.

damn right. dems should be 'over the line' after a national disgrace like this.

If a dem administration had appointed a 'horse judge' the head of fema, there'd be hell to pay. As far as I'm concerned frist should be down there using his medical training and hastert, well hastert can just shut up and stay away, there's already too much sewage floating around N.O.

... the people are ready to see these jerks get their asses kicked. Keep punching until they are down. Then start kicking. They earned it. Give it to them.

well than I might worry about it. But those two clowns, who cares?

I fire him and call a new plumber. What's not to understand here?

for this atrocious act of incompetence. We looked the other way when the towers went down and 3000 people died, we looked the other way when no WMD were found and bush joked around with his elitist friends about it, we looked the other way when bush squandered the surplus, we looked the other way when he wouldn't go under oath for 9/11 and ignoring "Osma determined to strike," briefings, we looked the other way when bush has taken more vacation days than any president in history, we looked the other way when he wouldn't fire Rove for outing a CIA operative, we looked the other way when he cheated in the debates, we looked the other way when he tried to take away our future and social security, and NOW we have stopped looking the other way and they call it going over the line?

Bill Frist should be fired as well!

Stand aside and criticize. The god damned Republicans made this mess - so let them clean it up. We've been cleaning up their bullshit for far too long.

It only angers me that too many people would have to suffer even more through their mismanagement and ineptitude.

It's not an either/or.

one considers how "restrained" Pubbies are in criticizing Democratic presidents and governors.

:cry: :cry: What a bunch a weaklings. :cry:

... of travelgate, filegate, $40 million investigations of piddly-assed land deals - none of that was over the top?

Where's your shame, you've left us up to our necks in it?

And BTW, don't think we aren't noticing your frantic efforts to do the very things you criticize Dems for, politicize and spin this debacle.

Maybe we don't want to give you a 4-week head start this time.

you don't get to NOW claim we need to buckle down and roll up our sleeves. Its because of YOUR party's CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE that we are even at this point in the first place.

Republicans always crap on the floor and then yell at other people to clean it up.

Mr. Frist I am so outraged by your comments about the criticism that Bush and this administration are receiving and richly deserve. Mr. Frist I am shaking I am so angry with you. Your comment about the "attacks being over the line" is disgraceful. You should be ashamed! See, Mr. Frist the President of the United States failed to act like a President during this crisis and more than that, he failed to act like a HUMAN! This colossal failure is the responsibility of the Federal Government. Bush murdered Americans, his negligence, his failure caused Americans to die needlessly from lack of water and medical care. It's obvious to everyone but Bush and his allies. God only knows how you people are denying and justifying this complete and utter failure. Furthermore, your comment about "you can join us or stand aside and criticize" is equally pathetic. The American people can (and are) responding and criticizing we can do both at the same time. Your comment pits people against each other at a time when we don't need that. Your public comments are deplorable.Accountablility is coming Mr. Frist and the American people are bringing it. THIS FEDERAL FAILURE IS INEXCUSEABLE! PERIOD!

Remember the dying & injured at Louis Armstrong airport, Mr. Frist.

And WE decide if we want to go over the lines...not the Repukes!!

you know this would happen.

You know that they will fight you tooth and nail, in every conceivable way.

You know they will ridicule you.

We've been here before. What lessons have we learned?

Give 'em hell and don't let up, kick these fuckers into the ground.

...on second thought, let's not do that...I don't know where their lips have previously been.

Were you "over the line" when you conducted an 8 year Inquisition on Clinton? Let's convene an Independent Prosecutor and see who is "over the line".

You know that's what those whiners are crying! You know what GOPer's, Karma is a b@#tch

are they being?

what gives conservatives the right to critisize, but not other Americans?

and who's sitting around flapping their gums and doing tv interviews...

Nice try, though. I hope the Dems don't let them get away with this one.

an institution's ability to carry out its function. You put function-nots in all sorts of high level governance positions. And then you wait for them to be diminished so crisis will be worse and corporations will look good in comparison.

The UN has bolton.

How many other government agencies have purposely incompetent leadership?

Now that is a news story.

They need to cross it early and often.

Using CODE WORDS to get your racist talking points out regarding Katrina is over the line.

Forcing you cowards to accept responsibility is NOT over the line.

So take THAT, asshole!:argh:

Dems criticize to save Americans.

Re:puke: criticize to save themselves.

Hell, no they shouldn't back down. Both barrells blazing 24-7. This is a matter of life and death.

The Democratic President that gets elected in 2008, is going to have it so easy, because

During a national disaster, most conservatives are not going to finger-point or play the blame game, or god help us, hold our elected and appointed officials accountable, they are going to STFU
If, during a major national disaster, the Democratic President plays with a guitar and cracks moronic jokes, the Vice President disappears, senior cabinet members go to Broadway shows, shop for shoes, and go to Baseball games, most conservatives are going to STFU.
If, during a major national disaster, the Democratic President continues to stay on vacation, most conservatives are going to STFU.
If the Federal response after a disaster is slow and people die because if it, most conservatives are going to STFU.
If, when informed of a major terrorist attack, the Democratic President just sits and stares blankly for seven minutes, most conservatives are going to STFU.
If this President gets us into a war based on lies and then runs it poorly, most conservatives are going to STFU.
If a major terrorist attack occurs, and the leader of that attack of it is not captured, most conservatives are going to STFU.
If there are runaway deficits and the President never vetoes a spending bill, most conservatives are going to STFU.
If gas prices are 3 or more dollars per gallon, most conservatives are going to STFU.
If a top administration official purposely outs a Covert CIA agent, most conservatives are going to STFU.
If the Democratic President appoints political cronies for important positions that exceed their credentials or experience, most conservatives are going to STFU.

The one exception? If the Democratic President has consensual sex in the Oval office and lies about it due to embarrassment, then they won’t STFU.

Pot, kettle? Hello?

Crossing the line is when the president asks "what went wrong" with regard to New Orleans, as if nothing has. Crossing the line is when they try and pass legal fines for people who couldn't afford to evacuate. Crossing the line is having a frickin' laid-off horse judge in charge of disaster areas.

The White House's main excuse---that the locals didn't tell us what to do---is a grim joke. Dennis Hstert is making the situation worse than it has to be by "playing politics"!

1. ignored the warnings about 9/11

2. ignored the warnings that Iraq was NOT an immenient threat, and at minimum it would take 500000 soldiers

3. ignored the storm, and did nothing to help after the storm


IT IS TIME YOUR PARTY WAS HELD RESPONSIBLE, THEY HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH MURDER FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS

FU FRIST, HASTERT, and NEOCONS

really yelling is Pelosi. They got her in a room, scared the hell out of her with a demonstration of reckless indifference & lying(which is scary) and now she is off and running. Suits the GOP well since the Democrats really had stood down and stayed quiet in order to not let this be turned into "just politics".

When cornered, a sociopath will provoke psychic trauma in a victim and then get others to watch that trauma in order to label the person "nuts".

In this case, they got Pelosi to start to criticize - vocally. Now they have the one Dem who really is being critical. That was missing all last week for the WH.

They scared the hell out of her, denied it, and now they use her anger & fear to paint the whole situation as "political". She was shaking when she came out of that meeting with Bush. Absolutely shacking.

So now the WH gets to "call" the dems on their criticism, when in actuality, there has been very, very little said by the Democrats.

GROW SOME EFFING BALLS

That is all.

Their actions, inactions, lies, greed, cronyism, looting and inhumanity long before Katrina erased any lines. This latest disaster turned catastrophe just made it clear that the lines were gone, time to hold up the mirror without caring if they like what they see.

what went wrong will be with these republicans on board.

How did we get so many bums in congress?

Fuck off, dumbass!

did we hurt the poor widdew wepublican's feewings?

boo hoo, grow a pair and get used to it. the people are pissed, and you're the guys that the buck stops with.

these guys blame 10 things on clinton before breakfast, and they have the gall to accuse us of the 'blame game'.

A party of ignorant jackasses deserves zero respect.

'join in'. What's he gonna do about that?

Shut. UP.

:rofl:

over the line MY FAT ASS!!!

This from the man (cockroach, actually) who questioned whether New Orleans should be rebuilt, then received the fax from Rove and within 24 hours was on his soapbox braying, "I will not rest until the historic city is rebuilt"?

Better stock up on the No-Doz, Denny, because thanks largely to your heroic efforts in cutting funds for levee maintenace, emergency management and so forth, it's gonna be months rather than weeks.

are homeless and have lost every goddamned thing they have including family and friends,God only knows how many are dead and you accuse dems of going over the line?

Fuck you,asswipe.

Can you say blowjob,,now that was over the line.

Frist can't even see the line in his rear view mirror anymore.

now will the democrats have the guts to reply to this collection of pond scum like that? or anything remotely similar? more biting riposte, sil vous plait!

The Republicans can dish it, but they sure can't take it!

like anyone would listen to them. Go fuck yourself, "let's-bulldoze-the-place" Hastart.

like anyone would listen to them. Go fuck yourself, "let's-bulldoze-the-place" Hastart.

Enough said. :mad:

Sonia

What goes over the line is ACTIONS THAT KILL PEOPLE.

God, I hate repukes.

for any implication that criticism of a president who sits on his ass while american children died of thirst ON TV!!!! is undeserved.


These people murdured the people of New Orleans as surely as if they had locked them in a shipping container with the same supplies. They were held in impromptu concentration camps AT GUNPOINT!!!

Murder and Genocide.

Blaming the Democrats for blaming the prez? You know what Jon Stewart said: People who say they don't want to play the "blame game" are usually those who are to blame.

the Repubs are trying to frame Katrina. Dems need to fight back, as in right now.
