Roberts: Dems belong to "Committee Against Everything" Bush does
What a nice thing to say!

From March 1 article:

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that many in the minority would prefer to serve on “the Committee Against Everything the Bush Administration Does.” Nothing short of that will satisfy them. Unfortunately, political stunts like shutting down the Senate, as we saw in November, only serve to waste time from the important issues at hand.

1. It's so much easier to be against everything he does

since it is all misguided or incompetent.

It just saves time.

2. Well everything they do is so shitty, mean spirited and .....
stupid and costly and half-assed and aimed to help one segment of society.

3. What an ass.
"Unfortunately, political stunts like shutting down the Senate...." Don't I recall the republicans shutting down the government more than once during the Clinton presidency?

4. No. We just believe in THE RULE OF LAW.
Fuck you, Roberts! Go play in a freeway.

Peace.

5. Unlike Repubs who belong to the "Committee to Point Blame
at Everyone Else."

Roberts can go screw - because of his position and lack of desire to look into the obvious, he may be worse than all others in this group.

10. It's not just their figurehead that I oppose. It's the whole of the evil
movement that calls itself conservative that needs throwing out.

Since the so called conservative movement is so wrong, so evil, so dishonest on every issue, I would have no problem with making opposition to them the central organizing principle of my political philosophy.

I think we can broaden that committee to include
60% of the population of this country.

It's not a committee, like in the 10% days of 2001-02. We're now the majority.

11. There's a committee? How do I get on it?
Seriously, I want to email Roberts and ask him. Because if any other management structured fucked up as seriously and consistently as these felonious nutcases, they'd be out on their cans. Belonging to a committee that takes such a reasonable position would look good on a resume.

13. It's a waste of time to shut down the Senate for a few hours, but
investigating Bill Clinton for 8 freakin' years wasn't a waste of time? Hypocrite.

14. How about political stunts like
trying to have a congressman arrested on the floor . . .

keeping a 15-minute vote open until wee hours of the morning to strongarm votes to make sure you have the bare minimum majority . . .

flying the House & Senate back into Washington DC to pass "feel-good, do-nothing" legislation for ONE PERSON . . .

scheduling a key vote for a time when a presidential candidate is clear across the country, then rescheduling the vote for a later date after he makes sure he can be there for the vote . . .

Naw, those aren't "political stunts" . . .
