What's new?

May 17, 2006 09:03

Is it sad to get most of your news from the Daily Show? I don't think so. I wash it down with a healthy dose of the Christian Science Monitor (not as Christian as you'd think, you heathens!) and ya know, spatters of this and that. The whole story is never clear and I think that's what I hate most about not only this current administration but media ( Read more... )

Does this mean I have to change my strict diet of beer and cat feces?

Ooh, ooh! Conspiracy theory time! They're planning on in vitro fertilizing the entire female population of the United States with alien/human hybrids within the next 3.5 years.

I think we know what the Cylons want with human wombs now.

Relax, the government is just ensuring that there will be enough white soldiers to fight in the Race Wars of 2037.

Like my hat? It's tinfoil.

If they only took this a step further and said, "if you do not wish to be pre-pregnant, then please take this free birth control"

Also, if the election were today, I really dont know if i would vote for Cantwell or not. What's the point of voting for a democrat if they dont act like one?

Examples? She's been pretty good about upholding what she said she'd uphold, rather than taking her position to different points from what she campaigned on. At least that's what I've gathered. Frankly I've been far too complacent about the whole thing till it all boiled up a couple months ago ( ... )

Well I wasnt around six years ago for her last campaign, so I can't say if she's held her promises or not. I will probably still vote for her, but election year politics just piss me off so much. Im sure the narrow margin of the her last election and the recent Gregoire election scared the crap out of her and her advisors, so she hasnt done a single thing to piss off republicans in the past year. She was one of a very small number of democrats not to vote for the Alito filibuster. If you want to talk reproductive rights, we all know what Alito's confirmation puts Roe on super thin ice, and despite this Cantwell sat on her fat pre-pregnant ass and did nothing. She also hasn't had much of a stand on the war one way or the other, other than voting for it and then keeping her mouth shut ( ... )

Good! Hell, even John Kerry voted for the war. That's what I'm talking about. Democrats have become pansies afraid of something from the other side and therefore just fall pretty much center in most debates. They raise a ruckus only if it means it'll make them look better or it's election season.

That kind of crap is what we have to stop. These guys are supposed to be like US. Campaign budgets have skyrocketed and as with my above example re: the popularity contest, it's also about who has the most money. That has to stop.

I think Cantwell has sat aside too long and needs to know that she needs to stand up for the people, not some Capitol Hill prerogative of keeping silent unless the cameras are on you. That is bad government. No snack for the government.

My next letter is to Cantwell letting her know I support her in theory but trust she respects me too and will uphold what's RIGHT, not what's convenient.
