The enlightened progressivesseem to follow this same pattern.
That's exactly why the tea-baggers seem like misfits in their own party...they want smaller govt now, while the GOP wants bigger govt with more oversight over individuals and less oversight on companies..Modern conservatism and the GOP has been taken over by religious idiots and other zealots whose priorities and concept of the world bear little resemblence to reality, and the faster that is made patently obvious, the sooner we can get around to actually fixing problem

..pick your policy...The enlightened progressives
1. ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
2. single-payer health-care
3. prosecuting the Bush Administration for crimes against humanity
4. Bank and Corporate bail-outs...
...there are lots of policies where Progressives and the Obama Administration don't see eye-to-eye...
, he may not wait until a second term...
Internet 'kill switch' proposed for US
And they're blaming porn.A new US Senate Bill would grant the President far-reaching emergency powers to seize control of, or even shut down, portions of the internet.
'Epidemic' growth of Net porn cited
...that's Neo- Lieberman bill idiot...
Joe Lieberman, the primary sponsor of the measure and the chairman of the Homeland Security committee, told reporters on Thursday. Lieberman is an independent senator from Connecticut who meets with the Democrats.
Even neo Lieberman isn't as bad as the Bush Administration was...
...the NCCC cannot order broadband providers or other companies to "conduct surveillance" of Americans unless it's otherwise legally authorised...
1. Finish in Iraq and GTFO. Afghanistan: Stay there for as long at it takes. My guess is 40+ years. If Obama thinks he can get out, he is sorely mistaken.
2. Great idea. wish Obama would get on it.
3. Meh. There is a fair case for prosecuting people involvedin the torture of detainees.
4. good things. Bush was right to do them, and Obama was right to do them as well. We need to put mechanisms in place so taht they are never necessary again. Breaking up the big banks is probably a good start.
There's little doubt that if we left Afghanistan in its current state that it would deteriorate into a regional terrorists nation again with strict Sharia laws for the populous under the ruthless Taliban...Finish in Iraq and GTFO. Afghanistan: Stay there for as long at it takes. My guess is 40+ years. If Obama thinks he can get out, he is sorely mistaken.
No doubt, anyone who thinks preventive health-care is too expensive is nuts....do you wait until your motor is shot to replace the oil and plugs? that's the system we have now, we wait till people break down in emergency rooms where the cost of care to taxpayers is exponentially higher and/or the person dies...Great idea. wish Obama would get on it.
There is a very good case if the U.S. govt. was subpoenaed to release all the evidence it is concealing under its National Security cloakMeh. There is a fair case for prosecuting people involvedin the torture of detainees.
I know your right, but playing W.H. for a second, I can't help but wonder if this didn't just help lay the groundwork for the next derivative, speculative bubble we will be bailing out...good things. Bush was right to do them, and Obama was right to do them as well. We need to put mechanisms in place so taht they are never necessary again. Breaking up the big banks is probably a good start.
Ah, the "liberal" neocons are coming out of the closet.
I'm confused over the time-line arguments. More than 60 years later and we're still in Germany.
McCain wasn't. Referring to Germany and Korea, he said we should stay in Afghanistan for 100 years, if necessary.
Care to give odds on that hapening?
Even with Volcker on the inside and two Fed presidents clamoring for tougher rules, the language didn't make it into the bills. What are the chances it will be added back in conference and then passed in both bodies?
Maybe you know something I don't. The bill establishes a resolution authority for the next up, but don't we still need one for this one?
Hit to confidence would be too rough?
What?
..the estimated 1 trillion dollars in new resources is a clear signal we don't intend to leave soon..that's for damn sure..
Mine your own business..
They were never in the closet to start with. After Vietnam, it was always one big happy war party.(Scoop Jackson? Sam Nunn? Al Gore, even?)
The dems sometimes don their antiwar drag to electrify the base during the silly season, but they don't really mean it. Just look at the votes.
