As I have been traveling through the country on my musical tour, I have been thinking about the upcoming election, which is less than a month away. So far, I have been in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and currently I am in Washington DC, the epicenter of political activity in our country. It has been a while since I communicated through a statement on my website, since I have been busy preparing for the tour. But I have been following the various congressional and senate races by reading the local newspapers in these states, and once again it is so clear to me how vital this upcoming election is to the future of our country.
Since the Republicans control the White House, the Congress and the courts, this president is not going to be impeached because the republicans in control of these branches of government would never allow it to even be considered. During the past 6 years, we have not been able to accomplish anything important and beneficial. This country has experienced one debacle after another: a failed Iraq policy, runaway debt, stagnant wages, the list goes on. The only way to hold this unaccountable president accountable is to take back control of the House or Senate or both. In less than 30 days if the people of this country vote and put Democrats back in control of Congress, we would have committee chairman that could launch investigations and examine policies with the full authority of Congress. Minority members do not have this power now. They can not control what bills are considered, how long committees debate them, whether bills get reported out onto the floor, or whether a vote gets scheduled. All these decisions are made by the Republican leadership of both the House and the Senate.
This is why we must really energize the Democratic base to take this election seriously and have high voter turn out at the polls on Election Day. They’ll try to manipulate this election, suppress our vote and play the fear card again, but this time we can’t let them succeed. The only way to counter-act their strategy is for everyone to turn out and be counted. The future of our country is at stake. The way the world perceives our countryis at stake. And the future of our children and our grandchildren is at stake unless we take back control and change the direction this administration has taken our country. We have that power. Let’s use it.
Ok, I'm convinced. It's been nice guys, but I'm outta here.
These idiots talk about impeachment but don't seem to realize that it takes more than a simple majority to get a conviction. However these are the same idiots who were so proud of their little "no confidence" vote that meant absolutely nothing.
So how many times can you use the F-word in a sentence explaining to someone you don't want him looking at you?
Do we know if Ms. Streisand graduated from high school?
Due to expected heavier than normal voter turnout in predominantly Democrat districts, voters in those districts are requested by state and local election authorities to wait until November the 8th to vote so that all may have an equal chance of getting their votes counted............
Please stop posting what this spoiled knuclehead has to say.
On second thought, she is symbolic of the Elitist Left. "Raise taxes" as long as I don't pay them in my off-shore accounts. "Be ecological" as long as I don' t have to. "Despise religion" although I am Jewish. Etc., etc.
Welcome to the Left. "We are better than you rabble. Do as we say for the common good!" Just don't try to take anything from your superiors!
Signed, Bill and Hill, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, etc.
Sorry, I am in Paris and just drank 4 glasses of wine. Listening to French conservatives (yes, they exist) agonizing over the replacement for Chirac who is a female socialist.
France is officially declared dead. (Not because of the female part, but because of the socialist part).
Let's here more about this "surpress our vote" thing, that still holds some humorous promise...
I thought Sarkozy was the front-runner.
Babs needs some duct tape. I guess we could start with her mouth and then she could use it to uplift her boobs. I just wish she would go away... I really have no use for entertainers who tell us what we should do and who we should vote for. Why can't they just entertain?

Too bad she doesn't get verklempt in real life. You know, no big whoop...
Now, toss some of that wine my way, and any rillette (preferably pork, not duck) and a few baggettes if you have any.
Honey, shut the f*** up. You were born stupid and it did not improve.
You have no clue about how ANYTHING in this Nation runs.
Have you ever had a real job? Ever?
Just go back to your mansion and pretend that you are still young and popular.
I was going to write that you should pretend that you are "still pretty", but why lie? You were never pretty.
Oh, The Way We Were sucked... a lot.
More like sixty years.
Barbara....Shut the F_ _ _-up!
