This isn't America anymore. I don't know what it is. But it's not a democracy. I'm really quite speechless. It seems pointless to chant "Shame" to a group of people who clearly have no familiarity with the word.

You can't shame sociopaths, they have nothing but contempt for common decency or the rule of law.

This congress and administration are rife with sociopaths. They pervert the law and set themselves above the law. They are the law unto themselves.

What do decent citizens do when their government goes insane? What should decent Germans have done when they saw the rise of Hitler to power? Then as now, decent people chose to hide and hope for the best. A lot can happen in the next three years and by then it could be too late. Every day they increase and consolidate their power . . . next month could be too late.

Why was De Lay even there, since he's under investigation for money-laundering, etc etc? Shouldn't he be suspended?

Has anything like this gone on before? Are these standard tactics or is this something new in this country? (Serious question, not just a comment)

Seems to me that Washington and ALL those in power have always done what they wanted. The only difference this time is that we are watching...

Bush/Gore election scandal, 9/11, war in Iraq, Katrina, Torture in Guantánamo Bay, DeLay, Weir nomination... Lies, scandals and bears.. (Oh my!) Hasn't all this just made it harder to ignore the truth?

Or is it really different this time?

I think my congressmen finally found out they won. Now don't cry too hard as this stinks no more to high heaven than going shopping for an appeal district that you can bully or buy a decision out of like greenies have been doing for years. So you lost this one by dirty trick, I have confidence that in time
you will whine your way into a solution that will tie this legislation up for 20 years. You know you guys are making yourself as popular as Scientologists(another religion started
by a nutbag that didn't want to work for a living) and just about as evil.

To preface my remarks, I am alienated with both parties. Dirty politics has been practiced by both parties, its just that the Republislobs are taking this to a new level. Tom "the Hammer" DeLay provides the slob leadership in the House for this style of outside the rules operation. I was appalled at his pressure a "No" vote on a Bill that would have eliminated sweatshops being run in a US protectorate (Mariana Islands), appalled again at his porky pig project attached to the Energy Bill after discussion ended awarding his own group of cronies a billion dollars to dispense to oil companies as "incentives." Republicans need to dump DeLay and find another direction or expect to get hammered at the ballot box in 2006 with Tom as the poster boy for GOP corruption.
