So... Pelosi might appoint a previously corrupt judge - who, incidentally, was found 'not guilty' in a criminal trial - to a House Committee on Intelligence. OK, yeah, a bit dodgy despite his pardon. But he's been a Congressman since 1993, right? So this will impinge on US national security how, exactly? What do you think will happen?
Here's why I think we're all safer with the Democrats installed: there's a rather lovely 'not waiting for the Rapture to imminently occur' quality about them. I don't know about you, but it's pleasant not to have
to ponder my future as one of the irredeemable sinners in a Left Behind movie. -
Danielle, do you have anything useful or intelligent to add to the discussion? If you don't agree with my points, rebut them.
I'm sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. I don't believe that there is any real point in rebutting Republican talking points, because the way their 'debates' are framed is so problematic; I just wanted to note for the rest of us that your posts contain a fairly large number of those points.
Incidentally, I agree with your assertions about some Americans being misunderstood, even within their own country. The blanket characterisation of southerners as redneck rubes drives me utterly batty.

James B, i think your comments can more effectively be conveyed if you just post some Colbert vids.
Wordy McWord, Jamie. James B. sounds as though he was born to regurgitate Republican talking points. In the last post, there's some nice not-so-subtle blaming of the Clinton administration, use of the inevitable 'bad guys' (by which he means some nebulous group of those of Middle Eastern extraction), and some 'liberal media' snot about the New York Times.
I lived in Texas for four years. Reading his posts is almost comfortingly familiar. :)

Nerdly housewife alert: I'd just like to give a shout-out to Progressive Enterprises for their online shopping sites for Foodtown and Woolworths. When I had to boycott Progressive during the lockout, venturing forth to Pak'n'Save was frankly nightmarish. I'd forgotten what a dreadful chore it all is. I can get groceries for two weeks delivered to my door by spending about ten minutes at a computer. That's worth the ten dollar delivery charge any day of the week.
