Comments on: Foley Fallout Reflected In Polls

53 Percent Want Democrats To Win Control Of Congress In New Poll

[newsthought1]

Enough is enough!

Between the corruption, fraud, and influence peddeling of Abramoff, DeLay, Scanlon, Burns, Reed, and Ney; Bush's buddy Ken Lay and the Enron fiasco; plus Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Scooter Libby, and Rove lying to get us into Iraq, running lawless with warrantless surveillance, torture, and the CIA leaks, while making Halliburton rich from ripping off the U.S. and failing to supply our troops; plus trying to sell out port security to an arab company; and now the sleaze and cover-up of Foley, Reynolds, Boehner and Hastert... the republicans have had their turn to show us their idea of government. Stop the greed, the lies, and stop giving America a bad name!

It is TIME FOR A CHANGE!!

You gotta be kidding! You are blaming Democrats for Foley's emails! You are blaming the 9-11 Widows? Did Michael Moore draft the emails?

Some people will ignore all FACTS and TRUTH in their quest to follow their Leader. Hitler, Stalin, Bush, Cheney, Rove are masters of manipulation.

Do you really think that Bush gives a whit about you or our troops? (and I'm not letting those Democrats who are corrupt and/or spineless off the hook either -- they represent corporate America same as the GOP. Look at what Bush DOES not at what he SAYS. Get a clue. You're a Chump for the Chimp.

Look how the Republicans melt under a scandal like Foley.

Imagine what would happen if CBS and the mainstream media reported the scandal detailing the FACTS of how Bush&Cheney LIED us into a War on Iraq. This is a scandal that has cost tens of thousands of lives, $300 Billion, and made us far less safe! Our poor and middleclass troops are being used like cannon fodder in this needless War of Agression. Do you think the wealthy and the politicians who aimed to profit from this War have their kids in Iraq??

Why won't CBS cover the truth behind Iraq? We need a Walter Cronkite or an Edward R Murrow, not a Cutsy Katie Curric to distract us with the usual corporate fluff abd spin.

The Republicans want God on their side? They better be trying to get on His Side, especially now! I wrote and called a Congresswoman's office recently, urging her to please sign a Petition, Blocked in Committee, that would have helped thousands of our own. After the "dam" broke, she wrote me a page full of excuses as to why she did not sign and felt that it would have hurt our chances more than helped. If only a small minority of them had signed the Petition, I might have given her statements some validity.
However, when every Republican sitting in the House refused to sign and the Chairman of the Committee who had the Issue Blocked in Committee had declared he would never let it out and she tells me that she worked closely with him and that she would not give up until the bill was passed, then I would not believe anything she said or wrote! I don't have time to re-register as a Democrat but I can certainly mark a Democratic Ballot on Nov. 7. and work hard for them from now until then. I'd rather have a Donkey than an Elephant gone berserk! WearyBones,

First of all, to all those right-wing knee-jerkers, the Foley scandal (not "scandel") was broken by REPUBLICANS, not Democrats.

SharnCedar: Rumor has it that Osama bin Laden is being held in a secret basement in Langley, VA, so that the Bush administration can trot him out in time to suspend the Constitution before the 2008 elections...;-}

This Foley thing is losing steam. The Democruts may have timed it too far from the election. Americans can't remember what happened yesterday, let alone two weeks ago. The Repugnants may have again shown their better quality of flack, if they now spring their October surprise right about now. I think better timing, who will remember Foley in two weeks, not even his last boyfriend.

Anyone have a notion or prediction what the Repubics October surpise will be? MAybe something about terrorism, hmmm, the obvious is to announce they got Bin Laden, will that play in Peoria.

I can't think what, but I'm not paid millions, anyone have a rumour or a guess?

And the hits keep on coming to the righteous right. This has all the elements of a political thriller, the only thing we don't have is a body floating in the Potomac.

We ought to have a lottery to see what the next scandel will be. Clyde L Harris

Although almost 500 people, the House tends to be a close knit group in spite of the political differences. Consequently, there are very few personal "secrets" that at least two/three other members do not know about. Basically, they all know (or suspect) who the alcoholics are, those that are adicted to pain relievers, and the ones who regularly use the services of call girls, etc. So, many people knew about Mr. Foley as gossip runs rampant in the House and Senate. It is my estimate that most members of our legislature are accomplished liars to the point of possibly passing a poligraph test. This is one of the requirements for the job.

"Once again, here's how it goes. First, a tyrant 'suspends' just a 'little' liberty, to protect democracy. Then, a tyrant monitors everyone, everywhere, all the time, to assure freedom. Finally, a tyrant imprisons or executes all those observed in abeyance of authority, to uphold liberty. No step may proceed without the other, the accomplice of a complacent people, and the corruption of a civil state."

"Republicans are in a unique historical position. They are the first group of people raised on this land, who call themselves Americans, that openly proclaim the virtues of torture, secret prisons, extrajudicial abduction, universal surveillance, and dictatorial government."

*** scandels are no more unusual in congress than in any large body of people. What makes me want to throw out all the republicans has more to do with the degree of corruption, greed, outright plundering of America we are just beginning to see. I shudder to think of the arrogance of these people - robbing my America of the moral high ground we have always strived to maintain - shrouding their crimes in holier-than-thou religious rightiousness and running roughshod over our constitution.
God help them if the democrats win... imagine the investigations into the Halburton contracts alone...
