The Republicans control the White House, The House, The Senate and have huge influence on the Supreme Court. But they have not accomplished
anything on their proposed agenda. No immigration reform, no corruption reform, no Social security reform, no new effective Fatherland security, no progress in Iraq, Iran or North Korea and going backwards in Afghanistan.
Buncha Losers!.
What is their current excuse?
Obstructionist Democrats
Now there is a GREAT reason for Democrats to be what they say they are!
Between now and October 6th, the target date for congressional recess, the bush malministration is going to try to ram several measures through congress........WHILE THEY STILL HOLD THE MAJORITY.
The most egregious among them being legislation to retroactively legalize torture. Or as the Torturer in Chief calls it 'Alternative Interrogation Procedures.' The Chimp in Chief is seeking to cover his ass.
From his recent speech
So today, I'm asking Congress to pass legislation that will clarify the rules for our personnel fighting the war on terror. First, I'm asking Congress to list the specific, recognizable offenses that would be considered crimes under the War Crimes Act -- so our personnel can know clearly what is prohibited in the handling of terrorist enemies. Second, I'm asking that Congress make explicit that by following the standards of the Detainee Treatment Act our personnel are fulfilling America's obligations under Common Article Three of the Geneva Conventions. Third, I'm asking that Congress make it clear that captured terrorists cannot use the Geneva Conventions as a basis to sue our personnel in courts -- in U.S. courts.
From my recent diary
Who is the Commander in Chief of these personnel? Who has ordered these War Crimes of which he speaks? Who is he really trying to indemnify from war crimes and crimes against humanity?
Himself.
Why?
Because the Supreme Court has ruled that his actions are illegal and must be stopped..
Mr. President if indeed, "These procedures were designed to be safe, to comply with our laws, our Constitution, and our treaty obligations." THEN WHY ARE YOU SEEKING TO CHANGE THE LAW?.
The only thing Congressional democrats need to do to stop this, is to live up to the epithet that has been used to attack them already.
Obstruct.
There is absolutely NO reason or advantage to Democrats allowing a single piece of legislation to pass between now and October 6th, between now and when Democrats have taken back Congress.
Stall....must become the new strategy for the Dems...drag it out ...EVERYTHING....until after the election. BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES must they allow Bush to retroactively cover his torturing, illegal detaining, renditioning, criminal white pasty ass!
Call, Write, E-mail, Fax your representatives in Congress and urge them to do what comes naturally to all Politicians....NOTHING!
STALL! OBSTRUCT! NO NEW LAWS, until WE control Congress!
This our country, lets take it back!
Oh yeah and as for the speech and 9/11/ let's all remember that George Bush's wars have now killed MORE Americans than died on 9/11. And that doesn't count the 50,000 Brown People he has killed!
TAKE IT BACK!
