Henry Waxman is everything John McCain pretends to be...

Henry Waxman is a tough-minded, anti-corruption bulldog. He's a straight shooter and is always going after issues that really matter to the American people. He's been on the Halliburton price gouging in Iraq since Day one. McCain tries to act like he's a straight-shooting, corruption fighting champion of the people, when all the cameras are on him and light bulbs are flashing, but he's a pretty shameless political opportunist. Not that he doesn't have his merits from time to time, but his "maverick" reputation is hugely overblown. Henry Waxman is the guy who gets things done. He's the guy who isn't afraid to do the dirty unglamorous work and fight for the American people. He's one member of Congress I deeply respect.

Henry Waxman.. :toast: Thanks, Henry for doing such a stellar job all these years..our unsung hero! :patriot:

Henry and Dennis Kucinich were lone voices fighting in the House during some of our darkest days. John Conyers is on the level too. Bernie Sanders. Even Walter Jones has seriously come around, since those freedom fries days.

He still has miles more integrity than anyone in this administration. And that's more a detriment to them than a compliment to McCain.

I always think,"well, he's not as bad as Bush and those clowns in the WH."

Which is kind of like saying a rapist isn't as bad as The Green River Killer.

Waxman has pretty much called BushCo a bunch of thieves openly stealing from taxpayers in his remarks.

Compare that to McCain who let Bush shovel birthday cake down his throat as Katrina built strength on the Gulf Coast.

McCain is fully broken and house trained by George.

Waxman has always gotten the job done and deserves much wider recognition than McCain. McCain is now most noteworthy for the tragic and bizarre psychological drama he acts out in public with Bush.

You cannot forget that. :)

McCain has a bizarre relationship with Bush. I think he is so ambitious and driven to be president that he'll do anything, even if it means sucking up to the man whose campaign attacked his family. Weird situation.

killed your imaginary dog, but you must never allow that to make you bitter.

About Mr. McCain I can say no more, lest I gather greater enemies than I presently entertain. ;-)

but ol' Jake was a loyal dog. Or was it Little Dan? Or Shep? Hell, I don't even know now.


Another crush? :)

I know a woman in one of my classes a few years ago who met him when he came to campus to speak to a class she had on Vietnam. She was totally in love with the guy. I used to give her so much hell over it.

So how was the woman to know any different? :-)

Crush? It's all a mad crush to rescue democracy these days, isn't it?

gives me hell back. Or even first. :)

Mad Crush? That would be a good name for a band. Or a type of ice cream. :)

What's a democracy?

Isn't that what all the fuss is about?

Are you aware that he had nukes aimed at the White House. Really, he did. Good thing Bush is always on vacation otherwise he would have been in trouble.

Being president is such hard work.

Saddam should never have mailed Anthrax to Kennebunkport. He would still be free to pal around with Donald Rumsfeld had he not.

so tough that a simple Boilermaker or five or ten just won't do. :)

Rummy, that man has the soul of a poet. Uh.....(uneasy gayish/homophobic moment)..... a cowboy poet.

will watch over him and guide him in his drinking. Just enough to relieve the worries of bringing freedoms to the world without having to go to the hospital for alcohol poisoning.

Don't worry about the gay stuff...if you are postiong on DU the world already assumes you're gay. And that you hate freedom, Jesus and regular bathing.

Did you hug the dog you don't have today?

he's hiding, fearful of Howard Dean. Doesn't want to get shot by a gay lover... sorry, really I'm not homophobic it just comes out sometimes. I like fags honest. And, by fag I mean cigarettes. Really. God bless those cancer sticks.

I am not gay, and I don't have Jesus, but I do prefer showers and definitely not a fan of freedom. So they have me there. (ok, I might be gay, even I am beginning to wonder, my clothing is a little flashy nowadays)

I might make that line about the lord guiding Bush in his drinking my new signature. :) :rofl:

So in a very real way, you are always hugging your dog.

It doesn't matter what you really are, the right-wing already knows what they think they know you are and will take every opportunity to let us know it.

For instance, I just heard Mary Matalin say Dean is a liability to the Democratic Party. isn't it nice that she's so concerned about the Democrats? What a sweetheart. Remind me to return the favor. Maybe by scratching her eyes out. After all, those beady, crinkled little orbs are a liability to her face.

Even though you hate freedom, you are free to use that as your sig line.

quietly and in the background. Sometimes he reminds me of a snapturtle.

:)

McCain's shameless and embarassing ass-kissing of Imus.
I caught a few minutes of it a couple weeks ago as I surfed the channels and Mccain happened to be on the show AGAIN.
Oh. My. God. The diminutive cowboy hat he donned for Imus was cringe-worthy, but the fact that he'll perform like a trained seal for that pig is a disgrace.
:puke:

wow, that is disgraceful. McCain is one guy who has little shame if any. I have heard he's a really down to earth nice guy, I know people who have met him, but, I think he'll stick his nose into any topic or whore himself to anybody if he can get a little press out of it. I just can't respect that.

is right..like when he told Barbra Streisand on SNL to butt out of politics and he wouldn't sing.

OR like this ..

"The 69-year-old McCain insinuated that 73-year-old Murtha is unintelligent (if not downright stupid), uninformed, and losing judgement because of advancing age. Specifically, McCain said of Murtha that "he's never been a big thinker," that "as we get older we get more sentimental," and that "he's been very, very affected by the funeral and the families." As ThinkProgress points out (link via Raw Story):"

Mccain could be more dangerous than bush because bush is being exposed for the incompetant puppet on a string that he is and mccain is being built up as that "straight talker" that he left behind if he ever had it?

:toast:

but he's a superhero to me!!

He really does work hard for all Americans. He is almost ignored by the Media, perhaps by his own choice! But he's worth getting to know.

He rocks!
