How to Stop Republican Whining

by AmySmith

Fri Jan 19, 2007 at 02:41:59 PM PDT

Since the November elections, there seems to be an epidemic of whining that has broken out among our friends across the aisle. It started with the Distinguished gentleman from Georgia, eight-term Republican congressman Jack Kingston:  

Kingston has been publicly complaining about the new Democratic majority in the House mandating a five-day workweek, instead of the current three. For one thing, he thinks a five-day week will mean that "marriages suffer."

Huh???

CT-SEN: A vote for Lieberman is a vote for Bush

by AmySmith

Sat Nov 04, 2006 at 01:07:19 PM PDT

Make no mistake. A vote for Lieberman is a vote for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

While Lieberman says that he will caucus with the Democrats if re-elected, he won't even say that it would be a "good thing" for Democrats to re-take Congress. With the vast majority of Democrats supporting his opponent, Lieberman, a notoriously vindictive and bitter politician, will be tempted to switch parties. If after the election, the Senate is divided by a 50-50 margin (a very likely scenario), and the Republicans offer Lieberman enough incentive to bolt, he may just do it... Read more...

"They're the ones in charge, and Osama bin Laden is still loose"

by AmySmith

Sat Sep 16, 2006 at 04:46:10 AM PDT

[Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA)] lashed back with an indictment of the Republicans' counterterrorism policies. Landrieu said, "America is not tired of fighting terrorism; America is tired of the wrongheaded and boneheaded leadership of the Republican Party that has sent six-and-a-half billion dollars a month to Iraq while the front line was Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. ... Americans are tired of boneheaded Republican leadership that alienates our allies when we need them the most." She added, "I most certainly am not going to sit here as a Democrat and let the Republican leadership come to the floor and talk about 'Democrats are not making us safe.' They're the ones in charge, and Osama bin Laden is still at loose."

by AmySmith

In 1996 Kym Pasqualini helped establish the "National Center for Missing Adults" a centralized national clearinghouse for missing adults. It is the only one of it's kind in the Nation and began focusing on adults who are "at risk" due to diminished mental capacity, physical disability, and suspicion of foul play or suspicious circumstances.
