Signs of GOP collapse.
Seems the dems stood up to the GOP and they backed down on FISA.


House Republicans are poised to shift their focus from national security to the economy, hoping to rally opposition to what they claim are Democratic plans to raise taxes amid the economic downturn.

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is expected to announce Thursday that the House GOP floor emphasis will transition away from passing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and earmark reform to "stop the tax hike."

And no one will hire Gonzo

Alberto R. Gonzales, like many others recently unemployed, has discovered how difficult it can be to find a new job. Mr. Gonzales, the former attorney general, who was forced to resign last year, has been unable to interest law firms in adding his name to their roster, Washington lawyers and his associates said in recent interviews.

From John Cole.

11. These people really think that the american people are stupid...
I was listening to a rightwing wacko on the radio and he said that People who are informed vote republicon and that they need to get the message out that republicons are for the people.

I would like to know how they expect us to believe that everything is messed up because of the Dems when they have been in power for all of these years in the house,senate and presidency even when Clinton was the president they were really the ones in power..
