omg flash!



more significant than the election, and really not THAT shocking... but it seems like the repubs are going out with a whimper.

I'm thinking there may be some uncovered scandals in the wake of this.

its about time.

11/8/2006 12:54:45 PM

See how quickly the Democrats are making progress.

11/8/2006 12:59:45 PM

thank christ

11/8/2006 1:01:02 PM

next up - impeachment

11/8/2006 1:03:29 PM

^ Don't hold your breath. Pelosi herself has suggested that impeachment is off the table to focus on the 2008 Presidental election instead...

11/8/2006 1:04:41 PM

Bush just said it. Bob Gates is now the new nominee for Secretary of Defense.

11/8/2006 1:08:48 PM

Yeah, but impeachment was off the table because they wanted Rumsfeld to run the administration and Republicans into the ground via Iraq struggles

With this, it's a new strategy...they can't really subpoena. so now there is a reason to go after the white house..

will they do it? who knows

11/8/2006 1:09:43 PM

its about damn time

11/8/2006 1:17:29 PM

anybody know anything on Bob Gates? I heard the CIA & Texas AM stuff, but anything more specific? Will the Democrats be ok with him?

11/8/2006 1:18:34 PM

Are you watching the speech right now?

I think Bush is doing a good job speaking towards uniting and getting things done.

Specific emphasis on the question just asked regarding working with Pelosi who's called Bush a liar and dangerous, etc.

11/8/2006 1:22:42 PM

he's doing a terrible job

11/8/2006 1:23:55 PM

Why exactly do you say that?

11/8/2006 1:24:59 PM

he's more or less said the same three responses over ad nauseum

11/8/2006 1:26:01 PM

he's an awful communicator. and i dont mean in mispronouncing words.

he also emphatically called her "CONGRESSWOMAN" Pelosi, obviously not willing to recognize her as Speaker yet.

I'm a Repbulican so I dont take issue with the fact that he did that, but he is obviously not trying to embrace them with open arms.

He's also not willing to admit that the SECDEF change was a result of the war.

11/8/2006 1:27:19 PM

Wait, so you wanted him to say "Madam Speaker-Elect, possibly?"

Because you know she isn't necessarily the speaker, they have to decide that (and they will).

On what? The fucking war you cockgobbler.

plus,

how pissed is hastert and boehner right now

you think this move wouldnt have played last night totally different if it was done a week ago?

it was a fucking trump card and they played the 2 of hearts instead

no, but if you listened, he emphasized "CONGRESSWOMAN"

im just telling you

you're drinking kool-aid if you think he's doing a good job in this speech.

i dont expect a mea culpa, but this is same dogshit, different dog

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 1:30 PM. Reason : .]

11/8/2006 1:30:32 PM

Well I must be drinking the kool-aid. He said he would meet with the leadership and looks forward to finding common ground.

Specifically his answer to the "pull-out of Iraq" question where he said something to the effect of
'Some in Congress want to change approach to ensure success and you can find common ground in that'

11/8/2006 1:32:37 PM

that's you're problem

you're listening to what he's direcly SAYING

you have to listen to what he's not saying or indirectly leaving out.

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 1:35 PM. Reason : that's cute that you're willing to follow him into the sunset]

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. They being the Republicans.

It isn't outside the realm of possibility, but I don't think the democrats will waste time with attempting it.

We'll see though.

11/8/2006 1:42:05 PM

the Republicans had no problem stooping to it a few years back

at least this time there is good reason

11/8/2006 1:43:14 PM

there was plenty good reason then.

11/8/2006 1:52:54 PM

hahhaa

republicans are fucked

...which is at least half the reason the Dems shouldn't do it now. They fucking ran a campaign that may as well have just read "we're not them."

"They" impeached a president as a purely political move. The Dems should skip it and get right to health care, rolling back the retardo tax cuts, and actually working on fixing Bush's clusterfuck in Iraq.

11/8/2006 1:55:51 PM

^^^Yeah, the president lying under oath about getting oral sex is a obviously good reason to spend billions of tax payer dollars in an attempt to remove him from office.

It's the principle of the matter!

Exactly.

If Dems have half a brain (which it appears Nancy Pelosi does and people like John Conyers do not), they would not overreach on issues most do not support. We don't need to flashback to 1998.

that would be the only reason they wouldnt...the potential for backlash is tremendous

11/8/2006 2:12:07 PM

the backlash would be enormous. people didn't vote the dems into control of congress to go after bush and waste the next 2 years on some revenge bullshit.

but pelosi is smart. impeachment isn't going to happen

I disagree on most issues with Pelosi, but I actually don't mind her very much as a person. I think she and Bush will actually be able to come to some compromises. But it will take a lot of work on both of their parts, because they do have some very derisive issues that they won't be able to work together on. Hopefully they can push those to the side and she can try again in '10 with a more giving president.

yeah, i think he was doing a good job of cutting the bullshit and engaging in a real dialogue. he's always better, though not especially polished, when speaking off the cuff rather than scripted.

11/8/2006 6:25:51 PM

^You are joking right? Please tell me that was sarcasm.

11/8/2006 6:27:48 PM

GOD NUTSMACKR GO THE FUCK AWAY, YOU ARE FUCKING WRONG AGAIN

^^i seriously do agree with you there...i've also heard that on tv shows before...when bush has to read something someone wrote, he often stutters or just sounds too structure like hes reading something...when he says the shit off the top of his head he is better at sounding believeable

11/8/2006 6:34:32 PM

especially when he pauses for 10 seconds just so he can think of the word he wants to say, or when he makes up words. Or better yet, when he completely botches sayings and proverbs that were not written down. Josh, when you are no longer retarded you can say I'm wrong, but I've been wrong on one thing so far and that was the Kissel campaign.

11/8/2006 6:37:41 PM

all i hear is blah blah blah

you were a dumbass in gods thread and you are trying to troll duke like he is wrong when you know hes right

I'm not trolling anyone. Now please, have an intelligent thought for once in your fucking life.
