It seemed as though, the Republicans had no limits, no boundaries in their game of dirty pool. They lied, smeared, concocted and conspired to maintain their power. 40 years of their power climb, finally being questioned by more than Democrats.
Many have speculated the Democratic Party is foundering, claims were made that they are spinless. But I don't see it that way, because in frailness one gives in, in decrepitude one gives up the ghost. The Democrats have been hanging in there through all the Republican illegal coup d'états... for instance, the Delay illegal redistricting:
Republican lawmakers and state officials who helped craft the proposal were aware it posed a high risk of being ruled discriminatory compared with other options. But the Texas legislature proceeded with the new map anyway because it would maximize the number of Republican federal lawmakers in the state. The redistricting was approved in 2003, and Texas Republicans gained five seats in the U.S. House in the 2004 elections, solidifying GOP control of Congress. From this site: Washington Post Justice Staff Saw Texas Districting As Illegal.
The Dems were in the minority, they couldn't do anything under our constitution to stop this thievery but they didn't just idly stand-by they took off to another state to stall this dishonest action by the Repubs...
Texas law required that two-thirds of the hundred-and-fifty-member body be present in order to conduct legislative business; the Democrats, who numbered sixty-two, could stop the legislation simply by not showing up. So most of them took off for Oklahoma. From this site: DRAWING THE LINE
And, as the recent Foley scandal unfolds, democrats are hitting back hard, it's payback time. What the Republicans did to Bill Clinton was nothing more than slander to the highest degree. Foley, himself took part in the brutal defamation of a standing president... Read below:
They say that hindsight is a
luxury, and if the events of the past few days are any indication, Rep.
Mark Foley (R-FL) very well may be an authority on sexual addiction, which
would explain his comments back in September 1998 about former president
Bill Clinton's randy transgressions:
"It's vile," said Foley to a reporter from the St.
Petersburg Times after reviewing special prosecutor Kenneth Starr's report
. "It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such
potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction."
Foley had joined a chorus of Republicans who excoriated Clinton over his
sexual affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. He was especially
disturbed at the time over Starr's account of Monica Lewinsky performing
oral sex on Clinton as he chatted with members of Congress on the
telephone. That was "just sad," he said.
"It's unbelievable that he could behave so carelessly in that
setting." Perhaps we'll learn
in the near future just how many Congressmen and women
Foley might have been chatting with
while typing away his perverted emails and instant messages to underage
boys.
Please read the revelations below (revelations for republican voters, most democrats knew this all along) from Paul Krugman. The comments are mine, it's been a long, long road of republican authority, the brawn of the plutocrats to maintain their wealth and muscle at the expense of our constitution and our very lives are falling apart. A new beginning is on the horizon, a better tomorrow is on its way! thinkingblue
