7. Good!

The pukes are on the ropes. Now is the time for the Dems in Washington to step on their throats and rip their heads off.

9. Just a friendly reminder:

October, 2004

"The Accenture episode is emblematic of the way business is conducted in the 108th Congress, where a Republican leadership has sidelined legislation unwanted by the Bush administration, even when a majority of the House seemed ready to approve it, according to lawmakers, lobbyists, and an analysis of House activities. With one party controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress, and having little fear of retaliation by the opposing party, the House leadership is changing the way laws are made in America, favoring secrecy and speed over open debate and negotiation. Longstanding rules and practices are ignored. Committees more often meet in secret. Members are less able to make changes to legislation on the House floor. Bills come up for votes so quickly that elected officials frequently don't know what's in them. And there is less time to discuss proposed laws before they come up for a vote.

"There is no legislative process anymore," said Fred Wertheimer, the legendary open-government activist who has been monitoring Congress since 1963. "Bills are decided in advance of going to the floor."

10. I think it would be an interesting poll...

If Gallup (or somebody) would post the question:

Congressional Republicans complain that they are not being allowed to make changes to recent Democratic legistlation. Do you think Republicans should be allowed to change the legislation proposed by the Democrats?"

I have a feeling the overwhelming reponse would be "No"
