Phil E. Buster.

[RICHARD]

Now wait a cotton picking minute here.

Who is this Phil E Buster and why does he want to interrupt the proceedings?


I guess you get what you pay for.

These morons want to sit around and talk to keep from the business at hand, Nothing new, when have you see a motivated politician.


The other side wants to ban Mr. Buster for ever- then the Dems start to cry foul....


Say What????

I have a new Comedy Radio Station that I listen to...

Air America...

You'dda thought that it would be serious radio....instead they have a couple of hacks, Stephanie Miller, Late of the Lost Angeles Radio scene and some chickie named Randi Rhodes.


Talk about hate speech...

IT puts me into a good mood when I listen.....

I have never heard a radio talk show host explode on the air.....:D

somewhere, the 'pragmatic sensible' middle of the road governance has dissapeared. our country has been best served over the last 2 centuries by those who have found that, and worked from that point. no long term sucess comes from the radical right or radical left, noise, light, heat, money and ideas, but NOT sucessful, tolerant long term governance.
one thing i've noticed over the last 10 years is how the money machine , from both sides, is driving the debate; paid for political pimps masking themselves as politicians are still pimps.
my ideas and thoughts on this are in flux, i'm looking to continue learn and re-think current political realities,, anyone else wanna have conversation about this?

I listened to Limbaugh for a reading on the pulse of what the "Right Wing" mouth pieces have to say.

He's just as rude as some of the crap on AIR AMERICA.

It's down to the point where in order for you to be 'politically minded" you have to be an idiot.

I heard about this this morning...

THE FREAKING FBI is investigating a high school and the yearbook staff because they let this caption 'slip' into the publication.

Under a student's pic.....
'Most likely to kill President Bush'

WKOSIT????

In "Old School" Civics classes I was excited to learn about the way the government worked, people got excited about voting and getting their people into office.

Now it's people just being plain stupid about freedom of speech and the responsibility that goes with it..


Somewhere there is a yearbook advisor that is fearing for their job......

and I hope they lose sleep over it.

Richard, the extremists on both sides have managed to purge responsibility from the debate. It is happening in all realms of political discussion, from PETA and HCI to the NRA and Limbaugh. Air America I won't even get into, they are too pathetic to even be considered a joke. People have fogotten that the founders intended people to exercise their rights RESPONSIBLY. Yes, you have the right of free speech, however you should consider your words carefully. Yes, you have the right to keep and bear arms, however you can't just run around shooting rounds off aimlessly, etc.

Frankly I would love to see Phil E Buster go the way of the dodo when it comes to political appointments. Mr. Buster is intended constitutionally to block legislation, not appointments, and it lets the senate chicken out of it's constitutional duty to provide advice and consent on appointees.

Oops, I forgot. The consitution only applies when the OTHER guy is violating it.

I was discussing this with a British ex-pat; they do stuff a bit different over there. It does seem bogus that something that takes a simple majority should be finagled to need 61% instead. We get the government we deserve! Representative republics have a lot of inertia but if enough people get p*ssed off at the status quo it might turn around. But, the public is SO polarized now! It's pretty discouraging for a middle of the road Libertarian when both Liberal and Conservative are used pejoratively.

before it was CIVILIZED polarization.

Politics be DAMNED.......It is just the breakdown of being tolerant of someone else's opinion.


Before.

"You and I just have to agree to disagree!"


NOW?

"G*dd*mn war mongering chump, YOU are so wrong, What about the prisoner abuse in Abu Gharib......The PRESIDENT ORDERED IT!

WHat about the WMDS, YOU LIAR....



I'd take politics more seriously if it weren't for the blowhards that get all the voice.
