DEL.ICIO.USYou can’t vote for Diana DeGarmo
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
U.S. Rep. John Barrow and U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall are on the same team, running as targeted incumbent Democrats in the 12th and 8th Districts. But they’re rivals for the attention of former Sen. John Edwards.
On his One America Votes website, Edwards is holding a competition to determine which two of 48 Democratic congressional candidates he will headline fundraisers for this fall. In a year when their hopes are rising, most of the Democrats are challengers, but the list of 48 includes the incumbents, like Barrow and Marshall, who are on the top of the GOP’s hit list.
The deadline for voting is Friday.
Campaigning for your party’s candidates has always been something presidential aspirants do, by the way, but with the ’08 race shaping up so early, and with so much on the line for both parties this fall, we predict you’ll see more of this year than ever before.

How about the way Hillary ripped apart Rumsfeld at the hearing today? As bad as that guard-doberman ripped apart elvis’s teddy bear. (hey, think the doberman sniffed the King’s 30 year old stash of RX in the teddy bear and did what he was trained to do?)
I demand Rummy’s resignation.
I demand Cheney’s Resignation.
I demand Bush’s resignation.
Effective Noon tomorrow.
They are leading our beatiful country to ruin. We shouldn’t have invaded Iraq and open Pandora’s Box of Civil Wars that have been in existence for 10 thousand years.
Iraq is the cradle of civilization. They have 10k year old outhouses there, man. They have a complex web of rivalries and alliances that we’ll never figure out.
We just gots to go. Declare Victory, and give the country back to Saddam, like Bush Sr. did. it worked out fine. Do it again.
Por Favor.

When our two top Generals are saying that Iraq is slipping into Civil War Hillary has a good point. The war was handled badly from the begining, Rummy IS the Sec. of Defense, someone had to screw up.
What gets me, the Iraqi government has been in place for three months, today they decided to take a month long vacation. That even beats Bush’s record.

Bruce, the think tanks knew about this before the mission accomplished speech. Even a casual glance at Kurdish and Persian history…then throw in those confounded arabs in the tigris euphrates valley and…. This was a war forced on the USA by the foreign corporations that comprise the military industrial complex (the MIC is a trite term, I know, but that’s what IKE used, so…)
Our foreign policy is being dictated by foreign defense industry corporations. Hey, they gotta eat too, you know.
Bush needs to step down. Now. Cheney too. Let the speaker run things for a while till we get a handle on how to let Iraq/Iran become a Shia Superstate, which is what the think tanks have been predicting for three years.

I agree, you can never force a democracy on a country like Iraq. The three main tribes as you pointed out have been fighting for centuries.
As far as Bush and Cheney, since they were appointed can’t we just take away their appointments without the hassle of an impeachment. Let’s face it, the Speaker couldn’t do any worse.
