These jokers are always behind the curve!

And I heard that Harry Reid made a statement that "he's his own man," and that he won't do with Obama what the Republic-controlled Senate did with Bush... roll over and give him anything he wants.

Strange, that he seems to grow a spine with Obama, but the fact that HE gave Bush exactly what he wanted seems to escape him!

These idiots are clueless.

What a bunch of disgusting war criminals the Democrats are. Putting out a Pro-Israel resolution that doesn't even call for a cease fire at this moment in time just proves how bad the Dems are. What a bunch of scumbag, capitulating, war criminals!!!

Why is it that the Democratic Party is so blinded by Israel's aggressive, immoral, unethical and criminal behavior? Apparently Democratic Congressmen and Women are so afraid of the ire of the Jewish lobby that they will kiss Israel's feet regardless of how inhumane the country acts.

1. The President Elect said somerthing to the effect that there is only one president at any given time in the US simply to avoid commenting on the situation in Gaza.
2. He had to avoid commenting because he was asked by the Israeli Government and his pro-Israeli staff, advisers and proposed appointees to the highest offices in the oncoming administration, to give Israel a free hand and sufficient time to re-assert its dominance in the Middle East, white-wash the findings in Vinograd Report and as a pay back to AIPAC for election assistance!
3. He has been commenting about bail-outs, public sector spending and hundred other issues during the same period their is 'only one president' hog wash.
4. Obama's 4 years will be worse for the Arab and the Islamic World than the 8 years of BushCo!
5. The results of 'more of the same' muck in US Foreign Policy will lead to the total alienation of all Arabs and Muslims except for the Arab/Muslim Vichies who can be counted on our ten fingers! Even these fingers risk being chopped off!
6. This will be compounded and accelerated if 'there is only one President at any given time in America', president elect will cave in to the War Pimps in Israel and Israeli lobbies and paid supporters in America, And give Israel the green signal to attack Iran and then invade Iran with his American Hordes.

We might as well ask Bush to condemn the murderous actions of Israel! We get the same results from Congress as we get from bush.... pure bullschitt!

Mixed with greed and political ambition will always drive these pols to do the unthinkable. They want to be appear mainstream with their constituents to get re-elected, and no one wants to swim against the current, when popular understanding of the historical background is clouded in bias and propaganda.

And then there is the arrogance factor: do these guys really think their "resolution" will have any lasting effect on the centuries old strife and hatred that exist there? They are too full of themselves, hampering progress and clouding the issues.

This has occurred due to the incredibly stupid decision to give corporations the same powers of action, and protections, as an individual.
But these are multi-national individuals, in many cases, with almost limitless wealth and resources, and they have usurped our position within what was once our democratic Republic.
Now, our government looks out for not our interests, but "special interests"--their own, and those corporations which pour money into their campaign coffers!

This has completely destroyed our represenative government. We are no longer living under a system of a democratic Republic, but instead are living under a form of corporatism.

Mussolini said: "Fascism should more apporpriately be called corporatism, for it is the perfect merger of corporate and State power.

Our Founding Fathers never meant for something like this to occur, and had they, would have baned it in our Constitution--which is the Charter of our democratic Republic. The difference between a simple democracy, where it's a kind of "mob rules" government, and a democratic Republic, which is what our Founders created, is that certain basic rights and rules are laid out in our Charter, the Constitution of the U.S.A. While the Constitution and our F.Fathers were FAR from perfect--especially when it came to women and African-Americans--they were trying to LIMIT the powers, as well as define them, of the Federal government, and to invest in the people the ultimate control.

A number of things have totally corrupted our government: the FED, with its manipulation of credit and interest rates, which cause these bubbles, and are manipulating the "free" market and our wealth through their monetary pratices, instead of money being used as it was supposed to be: as a means of trade. Then there's the Military Industrial Complex, and the Oil corporations. All these forces have meshed to destroy and utterly corrupt our represenative government, and have caused great financial inequality, numerous wars, loss of our Civil Liberties and Rights, and now threatens to destroy our dollar and plunge us into another great depression, perhaps worse than the 1st.

In order to re-take our country and government back, we must stop talking and start acting. The kind of change we need is deep and systemic, and changing it will result in enormous resistence from the entrenched powers. Only 30 or more million people marching on Washington would produce any results.

What we really need to do is pass a law re-voking the power of a company to become an individual through incorporation.
We argued that the terrorists had no rights because they weren't Americans.

Well, Exxon Mobile is not an American, and it certainly does not have America's best interests in mind. All corporations have but one master: profit. Thus, we have given this enormous power to these corporations, even though they have no loyalty to any nation, no patriotism, no concern for anything other than making money, even at the cost of immense harm to the enviroment, and eventually all of mankind! Just like the Exxon-Valdez case, where Exxon originally was supposed to pay, I believe it was 5 billion dollars, and now, by influencing our government and the very process of Justice, a decade later, they are still fighting, and have had the fine reduced to almost nothing. They could easily have paid, but they don't want to let one lawsuit be won, in fear that it would set a precedent.

People make up corporations, and individually aren't evil or anything, but the corporation itself, and those at the top, are as close to evil as you can get, at least with a secular perspective, just as their lapdogs in Washington are truly a form of evil.

The world needs a stronger U.N. with the ability to make binding decisions that can't be blocked or undermined by the U.S.

Good description of the Democrats trying to out-hawk the Republicans. These are the same Democrats who refused to listen to the 5 million people in the streets saying not to invade Iraq as they backed the President anyway. I'm afraid when it comes to foreign policy, their wallets and egos are what they represent - not their constituents.

It would be good if they aren't going to listen to their constituents that they listen to what the rest of the world is saying. But they won't even do that. Just like Iraq.

It is way past time that we stopped letting Tel Aviv dictate our Foreign Policy. It seems that it is not only the Neocons who have forgotten that three of Israel's recent Prime Ministers were heads of terrorists organizations not so many years ago.
Yitzhak Shamir = Stern Gang
Menachem Begin = Irgun
Ariel Sharon = Commando unit that massacred the village of Kibya

How strange that when terrorists are our "allies" or our own troops they are called "freedom fighters" or "liberators" but if they are not our allies they are called "terrorists". And how many of the "terrorists" were armed by us when they were former allies?

It is past time we started treating everyone on an equitable basis and demanded the same behavior of all. In the current situation, a Google Search shows that Israel has broken the terms of the existing cease fire agreement at least 130+ times and Gaza (Hamas) 48 times in response.

So why in the hell would the Democrats want to issue a Resolution in support of Israel??? Time to write again to Senators and Representatives.

I am not anti-Jewish, but then again I am not anti-Arab either. It is time that our Congress and Administration were the same. And terrorists are terrorists no matter what their nationality or religion.

One person said, "Terrorism is defined by one thing and one thing alone... by the nature of the act. Terrorists systematically and deliberately attack the innocent... they intentionally cross the lines that define the conventions of war that have been developed in accordance with basic morality to try to limit and regulate conflict. They willfully try to kill as many innocent civilians as they can. And this is never justified regardless of the cause. Terrorism is always criminal." Who said this? Benjamin Netanyahu... I guess, however, that it only applies to non-Israelis.

Instead Congress should be making a Resolution to call for BOTH sides to stop this idiocy.

...Captain Renault replied, "I'm shocked, shocked to find that the United States would support the relentless bombing of a poor, Muslim, Middle-Eastern state!"

I think it's a disgrace for congress to fall all over itself in support of another terrorist action by the Israelis. Israel is no friend of the U.S. and never has been. Israel blocks the press from reporting the truth because they know that they are the real war criminals here. Congress does not speak for me in this matter and never will.

I wonder if Israel evacuated its citizens from the Gaza so as to herd as many Palestinians as possible therein, to exterminate them when the time was right. Am thinking of what the Nazis did in the Warsaw Ghetto.
