Check out CSpan 2--Big Brother alert
McCain and most Dems fuming over a bill with some Nixonian crap imbedded. Big Brother law-allowing our tax returns to be accessed.

13. aquart, if you're wondering why the Republicans keep McCain around,
well let me tell you, McCain and the Bush Crime Family are playing us (Democrats) for fools. I think in the next four years McCain will appear as though he is a friend of the Democrats and stand beside us on some issues. That way when the Republicans run his ass for President in 2008 he will get some of the Democrats votes and they might not even have to steal it! I use to trust McCain but since seeing him campaign for Bush this year I have no time for him and will never never never vote for him or trust him.

17. The Republicans will not run McCain
He not pro business enough for the fat cats and too independent for the fundamentalists.

He made a deal with the devil when he threw in with Bush but it's not going to help him one bit.

If McCain runs again the GOP slime machine will take care of him just like they did the last time.

3. I'm watching!
Posted to a thread in LBN

Kent Conrad found the little nugget. He was on a rant...McCain joined.

Max Baucus was there, Dick Durbin.

Now Barbara Boxer is discussing the abortion poison pill.

The Senators got this bill in the middle of the night...hard copy at noon, & they are expected to sign it.

7. This is so unreal
I am so proud of the few who are standing up and not worrying about "delaying vacations". Who the fuck put that shit in there? Good thing they have their people go through it with a fine tooth comb, otherwise no one would have ever found this stuff. I love how they were all saying "The system is broken"...so true...

15. Senator Byrd comes in and gives us the HISTORY! Who can we call?
what can we do? We don't have time to do anything...which is what Bobby Byrd is sayin: "Agreggious and should make every Senator do this bill rushed at us into the wee hours of the night!" "Congress should not WRITE LEGISLATION BEHIND CLOSED DOORS!" Byrd goes on and says "THIS IS WHY FOLKS THINK WE'VE FAILED!"

"Timely bills where one has TIME to look over BILLs is what Byrd is saying..these "wee hourse Bills where Congress doesn't have the TIME to look over bills is WRONG!" He says "REMOVE the BILL...I Will VOTE AGAINST IT WHERE WE HAVE TO NAIL TOGETHER AND COBBLE TOGETHER BILLS IN OMNIBUS APPROPRIATIONS!"

Today is Bobbie Byrd's 87th BIRTHDAY! God love ya' Bobbie...it took you this long to have a "following" and it's from us "Internet Wackadoo's
that you finally got noticed!
