The problem with the Republican platform of good government = smaller government is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Take our current system and obstruct the hell out of it and you can then point to it and say, “See how wasteful and inefficient it is?” And that’s exactly what George Will does during the panel discussion on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, bragging about the Republican obstructionism but EJ Dionne points out that denying children healthcare isn’t exactly something to brag about.
Obstruction is a key and very powerful tool used by the Right. Since November of 06 when the Democrats gained a slight edge in the House and Senate, Republicans have done nothing but use this tool as a weapon along with the threat of a filibuster, and a mindless drone in the White House to claim Democrats can’t get things done. I do not know how the Right sleeps at night. Deny children healthcare? Cut benefits to veterans? But claim you are the party that can get things done. Obstructionism should be a 4 letter word. Republicans should be ashamed of themselves.
Remember, the day will come when a Democrat is in the White House and you will rue the day you used obstructionism as a weapon.
My New Years wish for 2008 is that the Democrats claim large majorities in House and Senate as well as a Clinton in the White House again. Hillary may not be the best but it will be worth it to see every sniveling, self righteous Republican’s eyes when “Bill” is standing back in the Rose Garden of the White House.

The Twelve Days of Impeachment
The lies and crimes of the Bush crime family keep piling up as the year comes to a close. Bu here are twelve that should land his ass and most of his administration in Leavenworth or worse.
1) The now famous Downing Street Memo, along with the testimony of former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil show direct evidence of a decision by Bush to invade a sovereign foreign nation (Iraq) on a well thought out and complete bag of lies.
2) The decision to use chemical weapons in Fallujah in an attempt to stem the tide of so-called insurgents. This decision came from Rumsfeld who no doubt covered his ass by receiving the OK from Bush to use these banned weapons. The same type of weapon the bad guy Saddam used on his own people. God, I get tired of that being an excuse from the 20%ers to justify the invasion.
3) Authorizing torture of POW's or civilians who were in the wrong place at the wrong time - a direct violation of the protocols of the Geneva Convention. The USA tortures people. Write that down and remember it. Your grand children will have questions about this one.
4) Holding so called "non-combatant civilians" for an indefinite period of time, depriving them of the court system, access to counsel, and access to family members who could plead their case to the public. A general banning of habeas corpus, which is every human beings right to respond to charges against them. This practice has been used since the Middle Ages.
5) Kidnapping so called "terror suspects" , placing them on Rendition Airways, and sending them to countries like Uzbekistan who boil these ,untried, innocent until proven guilty people alive.
6) Full prior knowledge of 9/11 by Bush, Rice, and the top Neocons at the Pentagon . The only ones warned were Fmr. SF. Mayor Willie Brown, Salman Rushdie (Via Scotland Yard) and Ariel Sharon, who cancelled his trip to NYC scheduled for the weekend prior to 9/11.
7) Engaging in a massive voter fraud and suppression campaign in the state of Ohio to secure a second term by fraudulent means. Such activities carry criminal sanctions as outlined in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This one alone should get his ass placed in chains
9) Engaging in a systematic campaign of depriving political dissidents of their 1st amendment rights to condemn Bush administration policy. Protesters are jerked out of crowd and summarily arrested and jailed. The Secret Service, under orders of the President, conduct "Harassment and intimidation Interviews" of anti -Bush political activists.
10) Conspiring to rig the vote count in the state of Fl. by hacking optical scan machines and E-voting machines and covering up the latter by passing legislation in the state of Fl to prevent post-election examination of E-voting machines. Thanks Bro!!
11) Illegally transferring $700 million from the budget for the war in Afghanistan for war preparations in Iraq in July 2002, without Congressional Approval. This is a Constitutional violation.
12) The "outing" of CIA operative Valerie Plame. This action weakened the country and the CIA itself. Bob Novak, Scooter Libby, Cheney and Bush should all be convicted as traitors to the country and suffer the consequences.
Ok, so there are 13 days of impeachment. Sue me.
13) Lying through your teeth and conspiring with the unholy to drag our ass into a war that did not need to be fought. Costing the lives of over 600,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, over 3000 young American lives, tens of thousands of young men and women who will never be the same physically again. Trillions of dollars lost, pissed away, or served on trays to cronies and friends as No Bid Contracts. All of which falls under the umbrella of fear of 9/11.
Now you have the 13 days of impeachment. Yet, Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House still insists that Impeachment is not on the table. What would this madman have to do for her to consider placing impeachment back on the table? God, I long for the days of Tip O’Neil a cigar smoking, bourbon drinking, hard ass Democrat who could smell blood in the water a mile away. I know he is spinning in his grave watching the spineless Democrats turn into lap dogs for this Unholy President.
Remember you Kool aide drinking 20%ers………….Clinton only got a blow job from a consenting female.
