Do some homework about what he says vs. what he votes on and campaigns for. You may find your eyelids hurting from being opened so wide.
If An old yellow dog was opposing torture, I would support him.
I find it particularly interesting that Stoller here is playing up something George W. Bush did, and you are going along with it.
Bush hasn't defeated anyone. Stoller is wrong.
Or perhaps you don't want your righteous indignation to be taken seriously.
So then there's torture. Which is apparently your pet issue, consequences be damned, except that you don't seem concerned about the President declaring that he'll continue to torture people. So what is it that you are concerned about again?
The issues listed above are counted as defeating an agenda - however, to add to the list - please note that Bush had to leave the country and wander around while all of his friends lived down their radioactive half life for three weeks, and he tried to get out of a press conference and pulled on locked doors like an arse.
"Most Americans Don't think that Bush was directly involved."
Guess the 34% approval rating was just because they were mad at Bush for invading an innocent country.
Friend, Executive Authority is exercised in the halls of power. Bush has become as radioactive as Tom Delay.
And you know the best part of your ridiculous counter to my post here? You say this is about executive authority, then you are saying that Katrina was about incompetence and not the law -
Katrina is not about legislative issues. Katrina was Bush in grand style, Arabian horse farmers standing there wringing there hands and wondering what to do, to lead the federal government. Dead soulless stares aka "my pet goat" - while Bush was dining with business peeps in San Diego the people were dying.
Once they start, they never stop. Torture is part of their policy. Dick Cheney caved on this item and the senate passed the bill and now the President is saying he won't go along.
Well, someone should tell McCain this instead of us just beefing about it + see what John says.
That said, as a senator, he's doing ok. McCain feingold passed, it helped alot.
Anyone remember 2000? The dude was running on campaign finance reform. I wonder sometimes if he threw in the towel. As much as I disagree with stoller in theory in practice he's actually right. McCain lost big time. Will he lose again?
Dunno.
That said, McCain deserves no praise for it. He makes no effort to see the connections between his little and -- as Stoller points out -- meaningless "stands" and the party he's aligned with.
After helping the gang gather rocks, he makes a little speech about how they shouldn't use them to break windows. But don't expect him to succeed. Or leave the gang.
