I wish Nancy Pelosi would never join this idiot in a commercial again. I understand the need to work on Climate Change, but this man is no bi-partisan champion. Is it impossible to find someone from the right that doesn't smear the Democratic Party every at every turn?

Speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News Friday night, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told the conservative pundit that "the left wing of the Democratic Party, frankly, kind of admires American terrorists.

If you could work with these people I'd say fine, go ahead. But does this crap sound like Newt has any desire other than to seem relevant again? He'll stab you in the back just as well as any of these Conservative hacks will. Probably better than most.

OYE! Primero pendejos!

Newt Gingrich can suck it!

And while this commercial is sickening to be sure....the one with Roberts and Sharpton...well...all I'm sayin is...where's that Acme anvil falling from the sky when ya need one?

Whose wounds are these so full of blood.
Their house was in the N'awlins flood;
They will not see him stopping here
To watch them shovel endless mud.

Their SUV is stocked with gear
They need stop 'n get more beer
And though we know the man a snake
He makes the terrorists disappear.

He gives harshness to lungs that ache
Concede they must to their mistake.
The only other sound's the Veep
A sleazy constitutional fake.

The wounds thereof so stark from sheep
The blood of misled yet to weep
And wars to start from guarded keep,
And wars to start from guarded keep.

The Right Wing of the Republican party has no problems associating with the Army of God and the militias....

So, pot, meet kettle. Kettle, meet pot.

Newt's getting his image cleaned up so that he can run for office again. Yep, we are that stupid as a nation.

As much as Newt Gingrich is a prick, he represents a conservative view point that has the potential to see this ad and give their own position a second look. Also, he was only chosen because he was speaker of the house. It's for the same pairing reason that Pat Robertson did an ad with Al Sharpton.

Hasn't he had more wives than half the shieks in Saudi Arabia?

You are correct. He is trying to become relevant again. That and tall are two things he will never be.

Which American terrorists? The ones that bomb planned parenthood buildings, or the ones that blow up federal buildings? Doesn't both hail from the right-wing of American thought?

Democrats admire Tim McVeigh? Since when?

The KKK, American Nazis and assorted white power types are really just liberals.

Newt - Tulane wants its PhD back - you just flunked the orals. F'ing Moron!

Wasn't there a time when Hillary and Newt were traveling around and speaking together?

There is another one of those commercials where Al Sharpton and one of those insane preachers are sitting together. I think the minister is Pat Robertson.

Who is this American terrorist Newt says I admire? I wasn't aware of my admiration for such a person.

Wow. Isn't it time to lock this guy away? He's so loony he has to pose a danger to himself.

There are American Terrorists.

and they occupy the White House, and they command the military.

they killed over (the admitted number) 4030 military personnel in a period of 5 years? The most honored resource of the state,

do you think they'd hesitate to kill 3000 civilians in a few hours if it suited their global strategic plans as enunciated by the PNAC documents?

As far as militia's go... you may need them in the future.

I don't think Mr Frost would want you to apologize for this. I think he would give you a pat on the back.

Funny thing about American terrorists, they're all right wing gun toting nutbars. Think Timothy MCVeigh and the militia artards.

nancy and newt... what a perfect pair..... OF TRAITORS.

Gingrich is a complete scumbag, and he's always out for himself. He's not even well-liked in his own party. Post Atwater, pre-Rove, he arguably furthered divisive politics more than anyone else in the country, and was happy to screw over the American public for political power, with health care being merely the biggest example. They should have found another Republican.

Oh, contraire, moonbats. Newt was CLEARLY talking about all those liberals in Appalachia who admired and protected the terrorist Eric Rudolph for YEARS after the Olympic bombings.

/snark

this is the argument made by the elites, and the upper class, and it is pathetic.

they have, somewhat successfully, been able to construe american foreign policy (which most americans are wholly ignorant of), corporations and the financial industry with america itself.

again, they have been able to make the argument that if you criticize our god-awful foreign policy, or abysmal corporate actions, of question the wisdom of unregulated markets you have thus insulted america, mom, god and apple pie.

the sad thing is that this works. the majority of democratic politicians are too cowardly to confront this bullshit, the media complicit in spreading this hogwash and corporations funding it all.

so, when americans--as is our RIGHT and DUTY--criticize policies that seems HARMFUL to america we are NOT criticizing america (ie, the citizens, the constitution, etc).

example: i state that the CIA overthrow of iranian prime minister mossadeq was harmful to US interests, for 5 decades now. newt would see my statement as an anti-american statement, when--in reality--it is a pro-american statement.

Isn't it funny how right wing extremists and religious fundamentalist are the ones doing all the killing.

Yet it is the appeasing liberals in this country (which do not resemble anything like a real left with teeth like in other modern democracies), and the atheist who haven't murdered anyone for their beliefs who get stuck with the label of "dangerous extremists."

Ain't that a bitch? And we all have to suffer because most liberals are too timid to even fight back the massive case of projection carried out by the right in this country.

Said it better than I could....

This country in some sense hasn't had a true leftist movement since the 19th-Century Grangers and anarchists. A little incident with a guy named Leon sort of ended it.

The 1960s-era revival of those sorts of people was sadly pathetic. Comparing McVeigh and Rudolph with the Weathermen and the SLA is no comparison at all...

Speaking to Sean Hannity on Fox News Friday night, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told the conservative pundit that “the left wing of the Democratic Party, frankly, kind of admires American terrorists.

The climate crisis is important enough to get left & right together...sorry, but no one will ever be able to tell me otherwise. Its not a political issue, the right wingnuts just regret not 'pouncing' on it and turning it into a political issue sooner...

As far as 'left wing & terrorism'....that's hysterical.

Koresh, KKK, Neo-Nazis (for Bush no less...take a field trip to Kansas/Oklahoma for details), Nichols & McVeigh, Eric Rudolph...etc....all right wingnut heroes....
Not counting all the religious right militant factions/militias in 'red states'...

Right wingnut terrorists have been in business since the Puritans landed....the ancestors of today's religious right (although....they've taken the interesting turn to believe that ANY 'sin' can be forgiven before you fly to heaven...and face 'judgement', ie an express lane for those who have mouted the words 'JC is my lord and savior)

you are obviously uninformed of how blast pressure waves work - and dissipate over distance. You are also uninformed (or forgetful) of the multiple reports of bomb squads defusing and removing multiple explosive devices, some larger than the original blast. You fall for the simplest of magic tricks, diversionary events.

go read what Air Force General Benton Partin wrote about it.

Benton K. Partin Brigadier Gen. USAF (Ret.)
8908 Captains Row
Alexandria, Virginia 22308
703-780-7652
July 30, 1995

Sen. Trent Lott
United States Senate
487 Senate Russell Office Building
Washington, DC 205102403

Dear Sen. Lott:

The attached report contains conclusive proof that the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was not caused solely by the truck bomb. Evidence shows that the massive destruction was primarily the result of four demolition charges placed at critical structural points at the third floor level.

Weapons Experience: I do not offer such an analytical conclusion lightly. I have spent 25 years in research, design, development, test and management of weapons development. This included: handson work at the Ballistic Research Laboratories; Commander of the Air Force Armament Technology Laboratory, and ultimately management responsibility for almost every nonnuclear weapon device in the Air Force (at the Air Force System command, Air Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) levels). I was also the first chairman of the OSD joint service Air Munitions Requirements and Development Committee. (A more detailed resume appears at Tab 1.)

Observations in Oklahoma City: To verify earlier analysis, I visited Oklahoma City during the last week of June. There I had the opportunity to view hundreds of photographs taken throughout the cleanup operation as the layers of debris were cleared away. The photos present irrefutable evidence that at least four demolition charges were set off at four critical columns of the reinforced concrete structure at the floor level of the third floor.

Conclusion: Based on my experience in weapons development and bomb damage analysis, and on my review of all evidence available, I can say, with a high level of confidence, that the damage pattern on the reinforced concrete superstructure could not possibly have been attained from the single truck bomb. The total incompatibility of this pattern of destruction with a single truck bomb lies in the simple, incontrovertible fact that some of the columns collapsed that should not have collapsed if the damage were caused solely by a truck bomb, and, conversely, some of the columns were left standing that should have collapsed if the damage had been caused solely by the truck bomb.

Okay, I just need a forum to say it:
I HATE the commercial with Pelosi and Newt because when she says "write your leaders to do something about it", and I'm thinking, "You're one of my leaders! You know about it! Why do I have to write you!? Just do something!"

I know it's a simplistic argument, but it really annoys me.

Thank you.

Sure Newt....now I feel like leaving my car engine on all night.

Personally, I think Newt is just pissed because Thomas Friedman recently caught a few pies in the mug from some evironmentalist students at Brown University (see story below). If Newt had his way, those students would be charged with carrying out acts of terrorism.

Thomas Friedman Gets A Pie In The Face During Speech At Brown

"New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman was attacked with pies in the face by environmental activists during a speech about energy at Brown University yesterday."

Newt Gingrich?????

Man, he is SO 1994!

Newt's "American terrorist" line didn't even fit in the context of what he was prattling at Hannity about, which was how poll numbers at this stage of the race are poor predictors of the outcome of the election. It was a bizarre non-sequitur. I think Newt's going senile.

Pelosie and NeetWit are the same folks who protect Bush. Does it matter what party anyone belongs to?

Every time I see that spot on the boob-tube, I want to hurl chunks. Climate change was always considered a non-issue, or by some a liberal plot to take over world...whatever. Now it serves as another convenient attempt at distraction from Iraq and the fact that our children and parents in the armed forces are being MURDERED or are targets for murder on a daily basis for good reason. It also serves as an attempt at distraction from the fact that Speaker Pelosi is grossly negligent in doing her job by not impeaching our criminal President and his Vice President, which in my opinion makes her and the rest of Congress accomplices in the many high crimes and misdemeanors that the Bush Administration are guilty of.

Well, that's the problem with bipartisanship. It's important, it sounds inspiring, but nobody actually wants to do it.

*OOPs.... I meant murdered for NO good reason

John, as to the video - consider this (I posted links that I am certain you wont see). The US has reserves of 1.5 Trillion (yes trillion) barrels of oil in the form of oil shale. Do the math - how much is that worth at todays price of oil?

Do you really think that Newty would choose the climate over all those hundreds of trillions of dollars?

I am fine with the commercial. If anything we got document that climate change is no longer a partisan issue. Grabbing the most pig headed narrow mindness person to sway the views on climate change, couldn't be better.

To paraphrase Emily Litella: "Nancy, you ignorant slut!"

Why'd we've ever work with these Neo-Con PNAC assholes is beyond me. We are too polite. It's like an abused wife continually making excuses. These people are not our friends. They are not friends of America or the American people. We should be prosecuting and investigating them, not sitting on couches with them. Larry Craig? No charges? Mark Foley? No Charges? Jeff Gannon? No investigation? Karl Rove? No subpoena power? Dick Cheney? No questions? Give me a break. We are weak as a party and as a nation.

No, I agree 100% with you.

I think that with all the Botox and facelifts, Mrs. Pelosi forgot she is the speaker of the house.

When there were a bunch of protestors at her place a few months ago, due to her refusal to bring impeachment to the table, she seemed genuinely confused on why people felt so strongly against Bush. It is scary, the level of incompetence or denial by this lady.

But this takes the cake, a top politician asking the sheeple to write her so she can do something about what she is talking about on TeeVee. I weep for this country, because few people have noticed the logical dissonance with the ad.

But as usual, anything coming from Mr. Gore does not surprise me anymore...

The Democrat/Republican paradigm is old and not useful. There are people who support Corporations, Israel, and the Rich, and then there are those who support the people, the Constitution, and the Country. BIG DIFFERENCE.

We need to start talking real plainly about the truth in this country if we are going to make up for the extreme bias in corporate media and election machines.

Wasn't the Unabomber a libertarian?

So do you think they are bumping nasties; or should we even go there?

Odd, because the most recent home grown terrorists were all right wing: Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh, the Unibomber (well, he was pretty much just nuts, but definately not a left-winger.)

Actually, the Unabomber was a prime of example of a left wing nutjob terrorist. He was a radical member of EarthFirst!, a well known environmental group, as well as a far left socialist, espousing an end to all technology.

The left does have their share of terrorists. They just usually don't go to the scope of the right. I would classify those wackos from PETA who throw blood on people wearing fur as terrorists, as well as those from the fringe group ELF (Environmental Liberation Front), who like to set whole car lots on fire. That's not terrorism?

There is god damn TREASON going on in this country. Investigate. Speak it. Force it into the mainstream.
No wonder these guys get away with their shit. We all stay silent and wait for the authority figure to say it is now safe to talk about such and such an issue.

Man, he is SO 1994!

I would've gone for 1984.

I don't think there's any question regarding the political orientation of American terrorists (hint:R). The question is whether liberals kind of admire them or not.

Personally, I'm not that enamored with them.

Newtered Grimwitch's anti-government rhetoric forms a direct link to McVeigh and all those posse comatose-us creeps. Without the anti-government line from Brain-dead Raygun et al, the McVeighs of the world would have had a harder time conspiring and bombing. Newt is a nitwit and a traitor. He should walk to Oklahoma Citty on his knees and beg forgiveness for what his mouth ignited. He is an evil man.

Powkat @ 51:

Odd, because the most recent home grown terrorists were all right wing: Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh, the Unibomber (well, he was pretty much just nuts, but definately not a left-winger.)

Terrorists and people who kill are usually right wing religious or power nuts. The people who are assassinated are usually the peace mongers. Wellstone, JFK, MLK, Gandhi, RFK. It's more dangerous being a left leaning politician or activist than the right wing. But as long as we stay silent on the facts and fail to learn how to powerfully and effectively express ourselves and communicate the truth, we will fail, and they will win. RFK got blown away with more shots being fired than were in Sirhan's gun. JFK was shot in the front of the head. Fear is a huge factor in keeping people silent. And denial is a powerful force in keeping your sense of security intact. Be brave.

This, from a man who designated ketchup as a vegetable as it relates to students' school lunches. This excuse of a man would rather starve our children of nutrients to inflate his personal wealth. This is what the republican party produces.

Speaking of American "terrorist", I just heard on tv the government is going to try the group from Liberty City in Florida a third time. These are the six guys the FBI found down in the Miami area and in my opinion set them up as wanna be terrorist.

I am not siding with any issue. However, when a report from a retired general has the sentences "based on my experience" and other subjective speculations while offering ZERO quantitative and qualitative statements, and/or data backed by measurement and modeling. I tend to not take those remarks as proof of anything, much less fact.

I am all for taking things into consideration, however... he could have conducted an actual study, not just pull things out of his ass.

Terrorism in the modern sense started with left-wingers. When left-wing authoritarianism got state sanction in the former Russian Empire and Mongolia, things became a little different. Before 1917, right-wing governance was the norm in Europe and America, and before 1917, left-wingers were terrorists.

After 1917 in Europe and FDR in the USA, terror became a right-wing phenomenon motivated by fear of communism. The collapse of communism, unfortunately devastated the leftist authoritarian movements and turned up the power of the rightists.

BTW, I have read Altermeyer. In referring to leftist authoritarians, I'm referring to the old Marxist-Weathermen-SLA-SDS left. Not the modern-day left, even taking the ELF and ALF into consideration.

American terrorists? Like the ones who bomb abortion clinics, and harrass and even assault (not to mention kill doctors and clinic employees? I recall all of these 'soldiers of god' being arch conservatives.

Dontcha just love Nanner Pelosi?

Odd, because the most recent home grown terrorists were all right wing: Eric Rudolph, Timothy McVeigh, the Unibomber (well, he was pretty much just nuts, but definately not a left-winger.)

the left wingers who were silent after the Anthrax attacks?

effing hypocrites.

BTW, the Americans that were targeted in the anthrax attacks were left-wingers. More proof that reich-wingers = terrorists.

yeah, as if that attack, and the one just before it, were solely in the works ONLY under a republican.

the state knows no divergence in the parties. The state IS the party.

Look, I'm not excluding the right-wing from this equation, but for you to dismiss that the left of this nation also hasn't perpetrated terrorist attacks on other countries - and upon itself to increase its own power and authority - is not being true to history.

Newt IS A TERRORIST!! He gets to open his mouth - out comes the terror..WHAT A LOSER!!! LOL!!!

I wish Nancy Pelosi would never join this idiot in a commercial again.

Or trust him.
Or give him any credit.
Or say anything remotely complimentary about his abilities as a politician.

I with you, JA, but we can wish in one hand and crap in the other and I think we all know which one will get filled first. Frankly.

I actually think these are good ads...mainly because in all of them I see people talking together who I can't even imagine getting in the same building, let alone the same room.

I may be among the converted already on the issue, but it's possible some Joe sixpack will go 'holy cow, Newtie believes in global warming?? maybe it's real!'

I'll be seeing an image of those two en flagrante for hours unless I can concuss myself against that wall over there...

WTF? Gringrich is calling Rev. Wright a terrorist?

Dude, Rev. Wright thumped a bible and railed against sin. If that's causing you to feel terror, you need to crawl over to Stephen Colbert's show and ask him if you can borrow a cup of balls.

You be missing the point that Democrat is not the same as "leftist" by a looong shot.

So try again, buckoo....

BTW, political assassination and terror attacks has been a tool of the right mostly, as far as this country is concerned.

Is like complaining that since a little boy in a tricycle has a vehicle, that he or she is as responsible for the 10 people some asshole with an SUV ran over.

Newt is like a mole that sticks his head up whenever he hears the word "camera". Just pretend you're at the county fair - playing whack-a-mole - and put him back where he belongs; In abject obscurity. Check out the hollow eyes and blank stare during Newt's last 5 minutes of fame - telling signs of a morally bankrupt sociopath.

Terrorists and people who kill are usually right wing religious or power nuts. The people who are assassinated are usually the peace mongers. Wellstone, JFK, MLK, Gandhi, RFK. It's more dangerous being a left leaning politician or activist than the right wing. But as long as we stay silent on the facts and fail to learn how to powerfully and effectively express ourselves and communicate the truth, we will fail, and they will win. RFK got blown away with more shots being fired than were in Sirhan's gun. JFK was shot in the front of the head. Fear is a huge factor in keeping people silent. And denial is a powerful force in keeping your sense of security intact. Be brave.

Obviously you forgot the fun and games that the right had during the XIX killing and cohercing proto-labor movements, literally. And the religious prosecution that was the human experience for 50 centuries prior at least.

Terrorism is/has/and will be an integral part of the right's MO.

How the fuck did you think 5% of the population with the money and influence (normally associated with the right wing) has been able to control 95% of the people who are the idiots creating the wealth to begin with, with nice uplifting speeches and charming anecdotes?

Newt Gingrich doesn't have a clue about who left-wing Democrats are. In fact, many of the so-called left wing aren't even Democrats.

But, see...Newt spent all those years in Washington. He thinks everyone is either a Republican or a Democrat. He can't think any other way. He thinks if he can label "liberal Democrats" as weak on terrorism, or weak on something, he can win an argument. But he can't, because the facts don't support him. Fact is, the president of his own party has fucked up the country. Newt can't deal with that. So he blames straw men.

That's standard political strategy, whenever your own man has fucked up. Pretend that imaginary enemies are to blame. It won't work, Newt. People have wised up. Get it?

I didn't think so.

sagra @ 83:

WTF? Gringrich is calling Rev. Wright a terrorist?

Yes. Gingrich is terrified of black people.

I know as many American terrorists as sane republican officeholders. Zero.

Maybe he means the famous American Terrorists George Washington, Patrick Henry, John Quincy Adams, Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin, et al. Like those discussed here.

On the other hand, how can you trust anyone named Newt?

OK. Now that was just f$%kin' bizarre.

It's not eloquent, well-reasoned or in anyway helping to raise the tone of our politics, but, "F@#$ you Newt."

I'm sick of being called in league with the terrorists and being unpatriotic just because I support our Constitution and not the concept of pre-emptive war.

Alice in Wonderland

19 Jeff Boatright Says: Oh, contraire, moonbats. Newt was CLEARLY talking about all those liberals in Appalachia who admired and protected the terrorist Eric Rudolph for YEARS after the Olympic bombings.
==========================
OK. That made me laugh. Is that what you were going for. I especially liked "Oh, contraire." Funny guy.

I don't this strange bedfellow shit either. I mean, we are talking about extremeist Republican here, not moderates.

He did an interview with discover magazine about a year back. And trust me, this guy doesn't want to do SHIT for the environment.

Frankly, republicans HATE AMERICANS !

Funny, I don't admire Timothy McVeigh.

Hey Newt! Aren't we supposed to admire the Boston Tea terrorists?

Two words: Tony Zirkle

Shut the fuck up, Newt.

Newt is an ass hole, he left his dying wife to get his BJ, I'm from Georgia, and Newt is nothing in Georgia. That why his ass is in New York trying to remake hin self

You're right, in that the Right often hit first. I mentioned terrorism in the modern sense began in Tsarist Russia, nobody's idea of paradise. And, yes, for 150,000 years we've killed each other over religion. That doesn't make the Russian nihilists and the anarchist bomb-throwers, the Spartacids, and the KPD any nicer.

If the right wing would stop admiring Nathan Bedford Forest, Jerry Falwell, Enron and Hitler, I might bother trying to find out if what Newt said was remotely true.

I don't know anyone who admires "American terrorists".

Haven't we learned that Palosi is not too bright? Have we seen any impeachment meetings?

My point is not that the radical anti-tzarist groups in Russia were good or bad people. I was just pointing out that the revolutionaries in Russia at the turn of the century were not the first ones to apply terrorist tactics. Not by a long shot.

what a joke all the american terrorist I Have ever heard of were right wingers, Almost all pedophiles are right wingers, All Mass murderes like Bundie, BTK, gary Ridgeway, Jeffery Dalmer are all right wingers, I suppose it was a democrat who sent the Anthrax to Tom Dashle and Patric Leaheys offices, Please pull up www.republican offenders.com

the left wing of the Democratic Party, frankly, kind of admires American terrorists.

Um, you don't?

Sad to say, Nancy Quisling Pelosi. No wonder the Congress Whores are laughing their collective asses off all the way to the bank. Sickening.

How did this man get the intellectual monaker? The man is an idiot!

you might want to let newt know how you feel

Bipartisan Pelosi compromising our values, once again...

"Well, Nancy, they say politics makes strange bedfellows and this commercial certainly proves it. It amazes me how two completely different people, with totally different politics, and probably everything else, can get together, have dinner, enjoy a bottle of wine or two, and grab all the enjoyment we can out of life."

"I agree, Newt. Why argue when we can be good friends?"

It is true. The left wing of the Democratic party sympathizes with people like Ayers. Why else would Obama have him kick off his senate bid? They also don't mind hearing GD America for 20 years.

Obama, whether he shares these views or not, has used 60s radical politics to advance himself in Chicago. He can't run away from his record of associations with people who hate America.

Obama will never win the GE because normal Americans don't want a president who coddles up to terrorrists, and believes America deserved 9/11.

The right wing of the Republican Party, frankly, kind of admires Hitler and Stalin.

Exactly!

Its this backboneless Democratic leadership that allows The Republican Crime Syndicate to get away with all thier lies and crimes.

We need new leadership NOW!

If I am to believe the right's myopic definition of a terrorist - Anyone who dares speaks out against or takes up arms against an illegal or unjust occupation - Then we can go ahead and throw Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and Thomas Paine's names into the mix among the countless other "terrorists" who helped to secure for you the right to spew out all of that banal garbage which pours from your pudgy little mouth every time you open it.

So, yeah, Newt - I guess I do admire some American "Terrorists."

Don't you have some convalesing cancer patients you should be out serving divorce papers to right now?

Maybe Newt is right. I'm about as Left Wing as you can go, and if I saw a group of patriotic Americans rush the White House, fight off the Secret Service, drag George W. Bush and Dick Cheney into the street, and lynch both of them, then I would probably admire these people. To dredge up that oft-used Jefferson quote again: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants."

Hey...Mawm...stop watchin fox news ok...it's causing your brain to rot.
These people you're referring to don't "hate" America...but rather hate what America has done to them.
And maybe America deserved 911 and maybe it didn't...but it's foreign policies were CERTAINLY, at LEAST, partly to blame. Have you ever wondered WHY 911 happened...it sure as hell wasn't because they "hate our freedoms" (which by the way this administration is doin their best to rid Americans of their pesky freedoms once and for all!) maybe it's because of American Companies, doing all manner of terrible things to maximize profits all over the middle east, IN OUR NAME!!! Maybe it's because, we're using 3/4 of the worlds supply of oil, so we can drive ever faster and increasingly inefficient cars. Maybe it's because people like you refuse to acknowledge facts that are inconvenient to your perception of reality.
Wake up and smell the fascism!
The Republican Party has become defacto fascist. The Republican Party has betrayed this country, the Constitution, the PEOPLE! The Republican Party is filled with treasonous hypocrites who care for nothing except power! The Republican party is anti-AMERICAN!

Looks like a Obama style "coming together" ....Isnt that what the Obama followers want?

Nancy had demonstrated once again that she stands with the neocons, against America...add her name to the impeachment indictments coming down the pipe. Sad, she had so much promise, and instead she chose to throw it all away.
