Sen 06: Four Critical Races

Pollster.com
Excerpt:
There have been some important changes in the Senate polling over the past week. Tennessee now appears to have turned against Democratic Rep. Harold Ford, while Virginia has moved away from Republican Sen. George Allen to a clear tossup. From now on, when people use the term “Tossup” they should show the plot of the Missouri race which lacks trends, bumps, wiggles or hints of what is to come. But the big news of today is the move that has been made in Montana where Democrats were ready to claim (amd many Republicans to concede) Sen. Conrad Burns’ seat.

H.L.s Take
To our friends in Montana, Virginia, Missouri, and Tennessee (and of course everywhere else). Please get out and vote tomorrow, nothing is more important then taking control of both houses of Congress. It is the only possible way to stop Bush

Once again lying Republican are doing everything they can to make the rest of our lives miserable. Now they are barraging people (especially those with hispanic surnames) with unsolicited phone calls, that lie and smear Democrats.

The GOP’s nasty dishonest robo-call barrage

Daily Kos
Excerpt:
What we’re seeing is an apparent coordinated effort from the NRCC — the House GOP committee — to place calls that appear to be from the local Democratic candidate and then automatically call the same number back as many as seven or eight times each time the caller hang-ups. If the caller listens to the whole message it goes on to bash the Democratic candidate. But if the caller hangs up prematurely, the computer calls right back. Hang-ups are the achilles heal of robo-calls. So this seems to be an attempt to cover for that weakness by making those who hang up think the Democratic candidate is basically harassing them with phone calls. The GOP wins either way.
In some states (like NH), these calls are banned. But it doesn’t matter to the amoral Republicans.

GOP ‘robocall’ tactics make me sick

Philly.com
Excerpt:
My God, the phone calls! Just as I’d begin to drift off to sleep, the phone would ring and it would be YET ANOTHER DAMN COMPUTERIZED MESSAGE ABOUT LOIS MURPHY.

One, two, three, four times a day it seemed, the phone rang with “robocalls” about the Democratic challenger to incumbent GOP Rep. Jim Gerlach in one of the nastiest races in the country.
I never listened to one word of it, just slammed the phone down and seethed with resentment.
Now, there’s an effective campaign strategy, I thought: Infuriate the voters so much that they won’t vote.
What part of “Do Not Call” don’t campaign advisers get?

H.L.s Take
Its happening in Philadelphia, and all over the country. The Republican Party: Never stop lying, and making life hell for anyone who does not agree with you.

And lets not forget one of the main reasons we will be voting out Republicans tomorrow

Sniper Attacks Adding to Peril of U.S. Troops

NY Times
Excerpt:
KARMA, Iraq, Nov. 3 — The bullet passed through Lance Cpl. Juan Valdez-Castillo as his Marine patrol moved down a muddy urban lane. It was a single shot. The lance corporal fell against a wall, tried to stand and fell again.
His squad leader, Sgt. Jesse E. Leach, faced where the shot had come from, raised his rifle and grenade launcher and quickly stepped between the sniper and the bloodied marine. He walked backward, scanning, ready to fire.
Shielding the marine with his own thick body, he grabbed the corporal by a strap and dragged him across a muddy road to a line of tall reeds, where they were concealed. He put down his weapon, shouted orders and cut open the lance corporal’s uniform, exposing a bubbling wound.

H.L.s Take:
Interesting that the town this occured in is called Karma. This guy survived, but almost 3,000 soldiers have died for Bush’s lies, He lied his way into the war and is personally responsible for the death of all those soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Almost all Republicans still support the lies and death…Throw the bastards out

The dirty Dick goes on TV and once again proclaims himself above the law.

H.L.s Take
Of course he won’t testify to anything. Testifying means you are under oath. (usually but not always with Bush and Cheney) Then he would be opening himself up to perjury charges on top of everything else. There is no way he can ever tell the truth about anything, and not be liable to Treason charges.

Its not just Foley…KEITH OLBERMANN SHOWS THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT THE HOMOSEXUAL PEDOPHILES WHO RUN THIS COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE WHO PROTECT THEM!

H.L.s Take
For shame for shame. Priests have their altar boys, Congressmen have their pages. It’s been going on for a long time.

Here is a story that says the Joe Lieberman (as well as a lot of other politicians) is controlled by Israel and AIPAC

Lieberman On Lieberman

Countercurrents.org
Excerpt:
Joe Lieberman and his namesake are similar in that they are both blind faith right wing Zionists. Joe an eighteen year US Senator, lost the primary in the Democratic party to a neophyte, albeit a very rich neophyte, Primarily because of his goose stepping to the marching tune of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and supporting the war in Iraq. With the help of AIPAC and about eighteen million Dollars or more he is thumbing his nose at the party and may go back to the senate as an Independent.

One congressional staff person was quoted as saying, “We can count on well over half the house, 250, to 300 members, to do reflexively what ever AIPAC wants.”

H.L. TakeThis is just one more reason to vote against Lieberman. As if posing as a Democrat for 18 years while cowtowing to every little thing that Bush, (and Israel) want isn’t enough. Of course losing the democratic primary and then running as an independent and doing everything he can to go after the republican vote isn’t a bad reason either. Joe why don’t you just admit you are a Bush licking Israel licking Republican already….

You know it is bad, when the newspapers that represent the military say to throw the bastard out…

Military Times editorial: ‘Rumsfeld must go’

Army Times
Excerpt:
“So long as our government requires the backing of an aroused and informed public opinion … it is necessary to tell the hard bruising truth.”

That statement was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Marguerite Higgins more than a half-century ago during the Korean War.
But until recently, the “hard bruising” truth about the Iraq war has been difficult to come by from leaders in Washington.
One rosy reassurance after another has been handed down by President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld: “mission accomplished,” the insurgency is “in its last throes,” and “back off,” we know what we’re doing, are a few choice examples.

Army Times editor explains timing of Rumsfeld criticism

Raw Story
Excerpt:
In this video clip, Army Times editor Robert Hodierne explains the timing of an editorial published today in the Military Times papers that calls for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
Hodierne explains, “We did it right now because, last week, president Bush renewed his vows with the Secretary and said that the Secretary would be around for the balance of the two years of the president’s term. We thought that was the wrong decision and took the opportunity to do so.”

H.L.s Take:
These are newspapers and magazines written by soldiers, for soldiers. These guys know what is really going on over there. They are the ones getting shot at everyday. They live this war 24 Hours a day. So anyone going to argue with them that you know more then they do?????
