Citing Bill Maher? Give me a break. There's a real beacon of objectivity. Since when are Democrats considered effective in Govt? Look at the mess they have created in the Democrat controlled Congress and , oh, let's not forget the Democrat Primaries. Looks to me like those clowns are tearing themselves apart. LOL. Someone once said the Democrat Party is comprised of groups that really don't like each other. The Democrats are proving that statement to be true in the process of nominating a candidate. Blame your cherished Clintons for alienating key elements of their Party….a division that probably will take generations to repair. Just imagine the magic Hillary could perform if she ran the country.

No new ground for Bush. Like the Energy Talks, the run up to the war in Iraq, torture both here and in the Mid East, all done behind closed doors. What we feel in this country now is probably the way people people felt in the old USSR when everything was done in secrecy.

Most of the congressmen/women and the senators have all been in the unconstitutional criminal activities together, with Bush/cheney leading the way to Hell.

so, let me guess why they have to keep their "discussions" from the PEOPLE that they are supposed to SERVE…….

The world will fill in the blanks with the obvious in a nano second while the American electorate keep their head in the sand.

good luck.

When we get behind closed doors?????????

"The Republicans have a sweet racket because they run on “government is ineffective,” and then when they mess things up, they go, “See?”

Bill Maher

Is Bush's lame duck quack really that loud or is our 110th liberal Congress just that bad??
