I am disgusted with all of the noise EVERYWHERE about who is going to run in 2008!
We've got a f#cking war going on, we JUST HAD an election and haven't even sworn the newbies in yet, and we haven't even agreed on agendas while they are picking out office space!
Yet, there are already FUNDRAISERS being planned and "statesmen" are picking out their tuxedos and gowns for the next gala event.
Cafferty (CNN) commented today that 10% of the Senate is running for president. His question:
5 p.m.: Will lawmakers considering a 2008 presidential run hurt the 110th Congress?
Some here at DKos have suggested that we insist that the senators do their jobs and stop campaigning for president.
So much of the crap in Iraq is because Chimpie has been on a continuous campaign (either for himself or for other republicans) the entire length of his presidency -- instead of doing his JOB. We, as taxpayers, are spending a fortune on secret service and travel expenses to keep this tyrant running around for photo ops and repetitive speeches that don't even supply one iota of substance to our government, our direction, or our country in general.
We've worked our asses off -- both individually and as a community -- to get the Dems in control of Congress to stop the insanity and incompetence that is destroying our country and the world. Why the h#ll are we not only allowing but driving the MSM to force more of this campaign crap down our throats?
Today I decided that I will not support any senator running in '08 primaries. (Of course, I would support the dem who ends up on the final ballot.)
This is ridiculous. I am so sick of this "posturing". We need to focus on the next two years of legislation, appointments, and INVESTIGATIONS!!
Who knows what madness King George will unleash in his last two years? The more we talk about '08, the easier it will be for his 'slight of hand' tactics to give himself more power (for all we know, he could be planning to appoint himself 'emperor for life' before 2008 rolls around).
We don't know what kind of president we are going to need because WE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY OR WORLD WE ARE GOING TO HAVE IN 2008!
