Redstate

In all honesty, I thought this was going to be a clip of stark-raving-mad libs, foaming at the mouth, and swinging from the rafters.

Where are the picket signs?  Where are the air horns?  Where are the burning flags?  Where are the obscene middle fingers?  Just a polite applause at the end of Boxer's remarks.

Perhaps Zarqawi sucked the life out of the congregated mass...

Thanks Babs

...Zarqawi was lulled into a false sense of security, thinking the Dems had secured his right to make cell phone calls to his freedom fighting friends.    

But, hey, they still have Osama on their side.  For now...

Babs would have been a nut in that party, now she's the heart and soul mainstream.

I thought they were crazy in the mid '90's and they are a long, long way from there now.

As Rush says, just let them talk, let them be honest and get out of the way.

and all you have to do is read "Rules for Radicals" and you have their playbook.  If you were wondering what happened to the SDS and all the radicals manque of the '60s, look no further than the operative/apparatchnik level of the Democrat Party and the leadership and staff of the big public employee unions.  A little Marx but he's really too Germanic and logical, a little Mao, a lot of Alinsky, and Foucault and the other post-modernists.  That's for the ones that think and actually call the shots; the rest are just mind-numbed robots who haven't recovered from their government school and university education.

... everybody knows you can't impeach a president unless he has sex with an intern and then lies about it.

because we should stand up and say "It's OK to perjury yourself, it's just a sexual harassment suit."

perjury yourself? I picked the wrong time to stop sniffing glue.

...the special prosecutor law expired, so we don't have to worry about some guy with a multi-million dollar budget and big team of lawyers working to find some excuse to get Bush under oath.

Heaven knows the rule of law and the Constitution are now safe...

it's starting to feel like sour grapes around here; hopefully it won't last all weekend.  Has anyone thought of hosting a redstate.com convention instead?

I know you're down in the mouth about Zaq, but Fitzmas may still happen. I wouldn't recommend holding your breath though.

BTW I think you're referring to the Independent Counsel Statute.

(Don't ask how I found it, just enjoy the notoriety)

Right before the "Tipping Point?" subtitle ... I actually read that comment! Small 'net!

Instead of snipping & worrying about what they are doing.

when America fails.  I guess we'll need another Clinton to handle that.

Maybe he should just look at some Abu Ghraib photo's or read some Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch report on our 'torture' of those poor terrorists.

Clinton knew how to handle those terrorists, just play some more golf and have a big mac.

OK, I won't ask....I also sometimes lurk around places I ought not.

Wow, that's some foaming at the mouth going on over there.  Ah, well, sucks to be them.  Especially when something good happens for America.

...much as that guy obviously "reads" RedState to keep an eye on "the enemy," my fast-reading speed allows me to "take the pulse" of... well... just about everybody online ;)

Look out!

I think I'm going to dig up that page and see who was "honored" with the unattributed reference... be back in a bit...

It's called CPAC.

Seriously, all this breathless coverage would make you think the "netroots" is an entirely new phenomenon. As if a community website with hundreds of thousands of daily visitors opposing a reviled President was unheard of.

In fact it is nothing new. Daily Kos is just the liberal version of what Free Republic was in the late '90s. Only recently has it overtaken Free Republic in terms of traffic.  

The difference, crucially, is that Republicans don't jump all over themselves to hail FR as the vanguard of political activism. They know that following the agenda espoused by the Freepers would be electoral suicide.

And the media for its part does its best to portray Freepers as extremists and Kossacks as the new powerbrokers.

Their ranking dropped a relative 10%

John Conyers is the head of the Judiciary Committee?

Which party thought the Special Prosecutor concept was a great idea, and also which Supreme Court justice dissented in Morrison, and then which liberal boogeyman of Constitutional interpretation (the Unitary Executive Theory) would have ruled out the possible existence of a Ken Starr.

Then come back here with your cheap shots.

pissed off at Larry Walsh.  If Janet Reno hadn't resolutely resisted any investigation into the foreign bribes scandal { you know, the one that led to among other things, the selling of classified missle launch technology to China,} the list would have been longer and dirtier.  Some people don't mind being sold out, they may even like it. I don't.

  Yes, Babs did say that.  If Quayle had said it he'd be a moron.

    I'm still fuzzy on the "high crimes and misdemeanors" that Bush would be impeached for.  Or is it bribery and treason?

   It can't be for the war that Congress continues to fund, it can't be the NSA in your bedroom business[ at least not after General Haydn sailing thru confirmation], maybe it's the tax cuts.  Or maybe that DUI back in 1976.

but as Nixon was facing impeachment he is said to have remarked to Mel Laird that "they don't have any evidence." To which Laird replied, "They don't need evidence, they just need votes."

Cf., the situation with Clinton where there was all the evidence in the world, but never the votes.

Impeachment is not a legal act with rules of evidence and standards of proof; it is a purely political act, and "high crimes and misdemeanors" are whatever the controlling party wants them to be.

Were I thinking of sitting out the election this fall, I'd bear this in mind.

Let's hope that message is reiterated in the RNC email newsletters over and over.

non-contributory quip if I just said, DOLT! When has she really had anything intellectually challenging to say?

The people in her district (that voted for her) must be so proud.

...and they're proud enough to have elected her three times.  I was there for all three, sadly.  

Until the California GOP can find a compelling challenger (and then fund them) for her (Chris Cox, maybe, post-SEC), the seat is hers for as long as she cares to campaign for it.

--furious

. . .I prefer "Moonbatstock."

...it seems as good a time as any to ask:

"So, what do you guys game?" (if there's a link to your Other Pursuits somewhere, let me know)

Boxer parried the question, and the implication was that there'd be no impeachment. (hence the support of censure)

I don't think we should be so ignorant and anti-american to Assume that because Democrats are against the Iraq war as a whole, they are for Osama and Zarqawi. These men were pure evil, and regardless of there anti-Iraq war stance, I think we should take this rare moment to unite as a country, rather then slinging more mud at the Dems. Unless of course someone can post some polls or statistics that prove the Democrats were big fans of Zarqawi or Bin Laden.
