    Only In Washington...

    In another edition of "only in Washington" - take a look at this from My Left Nutmeg. Yes, only in Washington, D.C. is it perfectly acceptable for a person to work to elect a U.S. Senator who is leading the fight to continue the Iraq War and to start an Iran War - and then write an article saying he actually opposes the war. In other parts of the country, someone doing that would be laughed at and ridiculed. But in Washington, that's perfectly acceptable - nobody bats an eye.

    Gertsein isn't the problem, Reid and his fellow crooks who coddled and protected Lieberman during and after campaign against Lamont.

    Until Democrats realize they have politicians who are owned outright by the same corporate interests as the GOP they are fucked as a party. But I doubt that they will, its easier to blame some coked up Democratic strategist than go after some politico who is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.

    Though its my belief that the situation won't be resolved until D.C. establishment goes up in a mushroom cloud. At least then the American people will be rid of both corrupt parties.

    DC up in a mushroom cloud is long overdue. As for Big Brother against small and local farmers, there aren't many small farms left these days anyway thanks to "free" trade, deregulation, privatization, illegal labor, etc ... but hiring BIG BROTHER to protect the conglomerates and wipe out the competition by further crushing the small farmers just like Walmart crushed the mom and pop stores is already an indication that the entire scam was written by Big Agri.

    There's actually a term for people who claim to be for peace and support chickenhawks, and people who claim to support small farmers and help Big Agri.
    They're called liars.
    Washington DC is full of them. Maybe it's something in the air? Politicians regularly tell their constituents that they support what the constituents want and then vote against it.
    One of the problems with Dems is that these liars are in charge of the DNC/DLC.
    2008's coming. There needs to be a "Fire the Liars" campaign against every Republican and Republi-lite Democrat who's up for relelection.
