Joe Lieberman is set to endorse John McCain Monday.

You all already tried that. Didn't work. Better be nice, if he decided to caucus with the repubs, the dems lose the senate.

[hahaha]

The Dems are in control? All you hear them do is whine and complain that they cannot pass any legislation.

Chris Dodd stood his ground today and Dingy* Harry backed down.

*Props to Rush for getting one right.

Sen. Jeff Sessions -- and the leadership of the Republican Party -- thinks you are stupid enough to swallow their inaccurate, fear-mongering PR-tested swill whole and never bother engaging your brain. Their floor show in the Senate yesterday serves as a crystal clear example of the GOP Expressway to Rubeville they've dragged the entire nation down the last few years.

Resisting the urge to pelt my television with a copy of the Federalist Papers, I hoped I'd hallucinated this particular idiocy from Jeff Sessions on the floor of the Senate yesterday. But, lo, Senator Slicker'n Snot On A Glass Doorknob, not so much: (H/T unAmerican Revolution)

Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama said in a derogatory tone:

“The civil libertarians among us would rather defend the constitution than protect our nation’s security.”

I am sure he realized how dumb he sounded because he stuttered as he made the statement. He made no apologies for the remark, however, and continued right along with his unique brand of ultra patriotism.... (emphasis mine)

That's because when Republican's are in charge, they talk about doing away with cloture and say only 50 votes should be needed to pass legislation.

When Democrats are in charge, Republicans say 60 votes are needed on just about everything, and when there are 60 votes, Republican senators place a hold on the legislation.

The Republicans are so set on blocking everything that at least once actually voted against a provision they wanted.

[hahaha]

So then the Democrats are obviously not in control.

“Unless I am very much mistaken, the people are fed up with candidates’ grandiose schemes to make Washington more efficient, the economy stronger, our foreign policy more effective or how they would handle illegal immigration matters. They have been hearing those un-kept promises for years. What they haven’t been hearing from the people who want their votes is the promise of a future where America reaches the full potential the founding fathers envisioned over 230 years ago—a nation where equal opportunity is available for all, where government is once again the servant of the people and not their master, where truth is more important than political correctness, where their hard-earned wages are not squandered on wasteful and foolish government programs, and where elected legislators and not unelected judges enact the laws. This is an America where principles, not programs, govern our lives and political activities. This is a shining city on the hill. The Republican candidates, for reasons I can’t fathom, cannot see that shining city, or if they can, are unable to explain what it would be like under their administration. On the Democratic side, there is no problem envisioning a future under their authority. Instead of envisioning a shining city on a hill, they see a Marxist municipality which on close inspection turns out to be just another one of those socialist slums which litter the garbage bin of history. If Republicans refuse to take the blinders off their eyes and look to a future in the shining city, they will lose the election next year, and the nation will begin its dreary trek to the socialist slums where everybody will have an equal opportunity to be miserable.” —Michael Reagan

Marxist municipality? Like London, Paris, or Berlin?

That's rich, considering the dems set a filibustering record on bush's first term.
