Canada has the same election systems, so the parties are kind of like ours. Actually Canadians have more leftists in their parliament so its not so bad. But for a real change try someplace other than Canada or the UK.

[trublueone]

I am switching from Democrat to Independent and will work on moving to Canada by the end of 2009.

THe Democrats have pissed me off. They are no different from republicans.

yeah man with all the reports, studies, and evidence you have shown there is no way anyone can argue. oh wait u just went on an idiotic rant.

[getplaning]

Part of any corporate strategy is to buy out the opposition when necessry.

[PrezAlex]

Yeah, not like Democratic Senator Jay Rockefeller, who was, when supporting the telecom immunity provisions in the FISA bill, "cocky" about having "won". Don't worry about the combined over 100,000 dollars he apparently received from telephone utilities and telecom companies, though. Has nothing to do with his advocacy for telecom immunity.

You are missing the boat on this one Cenk, its YOU that believe the THEM! A couple staffers sell you the "BOO!" theory and you swallow the hook. The staffers themselves justify it that way so they can sleep at night, who knows what nasty little secrets the wiretapping has turned up. If you think Senators can't be bought then why no clean election laws, public campaign finance or term limits? There is the Washington DC bubble and then there is the pundit bubble, but they are both bubbles Cenk.

is it joe lieberman or is it diane fienstein, that is the only two democrat that i can think off.

[Uberbah]

And what do people base opinions on? The news they hear. Watch "Cenk goes Ballistic" and try and come back to us with the blame-the-people shtick.

Here's something that, if true, supports the blackmail theory:

"Spare me, I know full well the overwhelming majority of my constituency is in favor of impeachment. The current autocratic executive (the Bush admin) would attack Iran from the air, declare a national emergency, institute martial law and call off the 2008 elections, were the Democrats to initiate impeachment."

- congressman John Olver, confronted with a 2/3 majority of his constituency for impeachment of Bush and Cheney

[rspawn]

There's another theory besides evil or stupid: blackmail.

Blackmail would explain why Dems 'believe' Cheney even though they know it's bullshit insofar that it's not a real outside threat, while at the same time knowing that the threat is real.

It would fit with Sibel Edmonds' accusations of infiltration of the government by foreign agents and certain insiders being complicit.
