Reid uses the Darth Vader connection!

[cyberpj]

speaking now on cspan2

[LSparkle]

1. thanks SO much for heads up!

[sarcasmo]

2. Just heard it that was Awesome. "Give em hell Harry"

[cyberpj]

4. That was great!

[cyberpj]

3. Too much power for one political party

we should give advise and consent - not whatever the prez wants.
checks and balances put in place for a reason.

More than 60 of Clinton's never allowed an up or down vote in committee.

Bush has 95% of his nominees - but that's not enough for them. They want 100% They want it all - all the power - they want absolute power.

Their corruption is plain to see for all Americans.

Then he skewered DeLay!

Connecting Big Oil - Saudis and Bush.

[Larkspur]

6. Reid skewered Delay? What will Barney Frank say?

Tsk, tsk, Harry :sarcasm:

Good to hear about Harry having a backbone. Hope Dean uses Reid's blast of Delay on MTP Sunday if Russert uses Barney Frank against him.

[cyberpj]

5. Take a stand against this abuse of power.

Begin to hear the voices of the Americans calling on us.

He's standing next to Pelosi with lots of Dems all around him.

[cyberpj]

7. Now Pelosi is speaking -

Thank you Mr. Leader for helping to protect and defend the constitution.

We come here to join you in this fight. We hav been with you from day one. It is a historic moment for our country and future.

Repubs are trying to silence the minority for absolute rule.

Dems stand united against Repub abuse of power.

So the fight is one for all Americans.

NOW THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!

[doublethink]

8. I want Barbra Boxer to use this line .......

"This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause," bemoans Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) as the galactic Senate cheers dictator-in-waiting Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) while he announces a crusade against the Jedi." -snip-

And here's my take ....... if the 'Nuclear Option' is pulled today or Thursday the same day of the release of the last Star Wars Movie ......

"This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause, bemoans Barbra Boxer ...... as the galactic Neo-Con Senate cheers dictator-in-waiting George W. Bush ...... while he announces a crusade against the American Citizens " ........ :wow:

12. Abso freakin lutely!

Star Wars a cautionary tale about politics

Star Wars is a wakeup call to Americans about the erosion of democratic freedoms under George W. Bush, George Lucas said yesterday.

Lucas, at a Cannes film festival press conference yesterday, said he first wrote the framework of Star Wars in 1971 when reacting to then-U.S. president Richard Nixon and the events of the Vietnam War. But the story still has relevance today, he said, and is part of a pattern he has noticed in history.

"I didn't think it was going to get quite this close," he said of the parallels between the Nixon era and the Bush presidency, which has been sacrificing freedoms in the interests of national security.

"It is just one of those re-occuring things. I hope this doesn't come true in our country. Maybe the film will awaken people to the situation of how dangerous it is . . . The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we are doing now in Iraq are unbelievable."

Probably to give him a good sendoff to the debates today.

10. RW site starting a Star Wars boycott

Boycott Star Wars And George Lucas

When will Hollywood learn? George Lucas and his intergalactic empire have now been added to our official boycott list. Sad...but necessary. A bigger Star Wars fan you'll never find...until now. Our country is at war and Lucas spouts off this crap?
