"And win we will, because the American people want change. They want change from the culture of corruption, cronyism, and incompetence this year in Washington, D.C. Corruption that brought the pharmaceutical companies to the table to write a prescription drug bill so that now American seniors are paying higher prices on drugs at the pharmacy. There is a price to the American people for this corruption.

"Corruption is writing an energy bill that gives obscene subsidies to oils companies that are making huge profits and raising the prices at the pump and costs on home heating oil for America's families.

"They give tax cuts for the wealthiest people in America when they certainly don't need them, and raise the cost of college tuition on American working families. I mean, America's working families simply cannot afford George Bush and this Rubber Stamp Congress.

"You be the judge. Can we afford this President and again go home and rubber stamp the cost of the Iraq war, the cost of their Medicare prescription drug bill, the cost of their energy policy, the cost of college tuition, and the cost of no raise in the minimum wage? The list goes on and on.

1. So DU, do we hate her now or do we like her?

[stepnw1f]

3. I Like Her

I question those who throw shit on our leaders. A sign of the times. We are at war with the otherside.

[xultar]

6. AMEN.

[RufusEarl]

2. I don't get it

Don't all these allegations deserve a censure?

[wake.up.america]

4. I don't understand it either. We have over 2300 reasons to censure him.

[xultar]

7. The Censure is not about the war. It is about the wiretap. Why are

people mixing up the war with this Censure?

[wake.up.america]

13. Can't a president be censured for lying about invading a country?

[xultar]

14. But that isn't what's on the floor @ the moment. Investigation...

is needed.

[wake.up.america]

16. I understand that. I appreciate your comments. I was off base.

[Cocoa]

5. no, imo

the things she mentions above, and many more, Katrina above all, should cause the republicans to lose in the elections.

The things that imo Bush deserves to be censured and/or impeached for are the WMD lies and the illegal wiretapping and the Plame leak.

[RufusEarl]

9. I agree in part!

Your bottom paragraph are the impeachable offenses, the top paragraph are the types of offenses that get a sitting president censured.

[xultar]

10. There has to be an investigation. Censure is about wiretap not war.

8. Nancy's Testing The Winds Again

Sheesh, this lady exudes the confidence of a soap dish. She'll come out every so often with a statement like this and then fade away when her words are tossed back at her. And yes, there's precious little the House Democrats are doing to show either any solidarity or contempt for this regime...they're still coward in the fear of being trashed in the corporate media. To put is bluntly, this group is pussy-whipped.

Pelosi should be harping every day to force the House Ethics committee to get back in business and start investigating. She might not succede, but every time she does it and it forces the Repugnicans to shut down her motions, it paints them as the corrupt and self-serving bastards they are. She's let this scandal move to the back pages and puts her hopes in prosecutors to keep this issue alive.

Sadly, there are few Democrats with the stones to really stand up to the Repugnicans, the corporate media nad this regime right now...running and hiding rather than standing up and fighting.

11. Gee, This President Corrupt and Incompetant Really?? Duhh..

This country can't AFFORD THREE MORE YEARS of this CORRUPTION AND INCOMPETANCY NANCY -- IMPEACH THESE BASTARDS!

[MadMaddie]

12. I like Pelosi...and what she said was great; however,

at this stage in the game...TALK IS CHEAP!!

The Dems and America no longer have the luxery to wait and see what's going to happen in the 06 elections, they need to be laying the groundwork now and put the Repugs in such an uncomfortable state before the elections that they don't want to come back..

If the Dems are going to talk the talk.....they better start walking the walk!!

They better start showing us why they deserve to represent us....Because if they don't we will remove them and replace them with people like "The Band of Brothers members"!!!

That's all!!

[Catrina]

15. Can we afford a president who admits to breaking the law? She didn't

say ~ is she going to support Feingold?

[Beelzebud]

17. What does she intend to do about it?

Talk?

[Cocoa]

18. not talk, win

the sentence right before my snip in the OP:

In order to make any of these victories, we must have one important victory first -- we have to win in November.
