This is about the wanton carnal madness of Senators who should be turning to prayer! Their prescriptions should be published online as well so that constituents may judge if their elected representatives are going pestork-mad and need to be recalled. @SanFranLefty: Exactly.

Say they let us punch them in the fact 7-10 times for every encounter.

This one is on Congress. Anytime you get publicly elected officials with (a) an axe to grind and (b) a boatload of crazy to bring to the equation, you are going to get distortions. That is Congress's job -- to take a relatively simple problem (a few facets and distinguishing characteristics and turn it into a big huge pile of vomit. They did it with 9/11, and they did it with this. Isn't that right, Maddie? nojo: Truth — the fact that Black Eagle misplayed this from the jump does not mean it was his fault.

Were there progressive war supporters in 2003? Apparently so.

The Obama Administration declared health care reform to be a major domestic objective, but they did not offer the Congress a bill. Nor did they propose a specific set of objectives from which legislation could be derived. Consequently, legislation was developed independently through five different Congressional committees, three in the House and two in the Senate. This resulted in a large amount of contradictory information and a great deal of confusion among our public.</blockquote> Aye. Let’s check in with Jim Webb…
