Are the Pugs deliberately trying to destabilize Congress?

We are in a very dangerous time.

1. It already is destabilized

2. What do you think the anthrax was all about?
The same with the media. Keep them frightened for themselves and for their families while the BFEE consolidates power. Fear and chaos.

9. Just Ask Senator Wellstone (RIP, MN) or Senator Carnahan (RIP, MO)

3. Sadly...
I think they already have. Before long they'll be running non-cooperative DEMs out and replacing them with GOP-governor appointed folks.

Where they are unable to do the above, redistricting should do the trick!

Welcome to the Brave New World!

6. I'll tell you what. the Dems oughtta get private investigators on every
single GOP member and get them hauled down to police stations for every crime imagninable. THis is deplorable behavior on the part of those ass fucking republican slime bags. I think the world would be a lot better place if a few of them got caught in some crossfire of a gang war there in DC.

I'm so tired of the constant "I think I have a dick and even though it's small I'll run over you" tactics of Bush the simple and all the others who are hellbent on creating a dictatorship.

Do you understand? THe secret meetings are largely about purging America of an opposition party and ruling with an iron fist. It's come to that.

7. Not sure if it is intentional or just "mokeys and cocaine"
Remember that old scientific experiment about the monkeys given access to cocaine (push Button #1) and food & water (push Button #2)?

If memory serves the entire group ultimately died because of overdose or simply because they wouldn't push the food button, not when all that coke was available.

I think the Repugs are stoned on Totalitarianism, Orwellianism, Dictatorship, and the way the Right-Wing Sub-Media have cowed and bullied their opposition and the Formerly Free Press.

They can't stop pushing the Cocaine Button, no matter the long-term consequences.

They are drunk on power, stoned on the same heady brew the Nazis were snorting in 1938.

(luckily for us, the Nazi analogy only extends towards Bushevik propaganda strategies...for the moment)

8. You're right...
the dems did give them enough rope to hang themselves and leave their TRUE agenda exposed. Maybe that was the ONLY way for the public and the media to see it.

11. This is what I have been
worrying about since I started reading all of this. Do you think we "smoked em out" and now the order is to go ahead with the final takeover before we can do anything about it? I normally don't get this upset but this is like putting two 2yr old boys in a sand box with only one shovel in it only much more serious and way below the behavior we expect from elected officials unless they are cornered.
