"We Democrats would welcome Powell into our party"

What have you missed - Powell has no known positions that support Republican ideas.

Again The Democrats feel the need to tell Republicans who their leaders should be.

Are Republican telling Democrats that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi should be their leaders?

Look neither Colin Powell nor Rush Limbaugh is an elected leader of the Republicans - so get over it and mind your own problems like:

ELECTED Congressional Leadership is corrupt:
- Scam land baron Majority Leader Harry Reid,
- Mortgage defrauder Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd,
- Air America, SNL, and Porn Comic Alfred E. Franken,
- Tainted ex-Federal Lobbyist Roland Burris,
- Air Force 2 frequent flyer and ardent immigration leftista, EIT denier House Speaker Madam Nancy Pelosi,
- Tax dodger House Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel
- Fannie/Freddie BFF House Banking Chairman Barney Franks

The Staff professionals at the CIA provided the factual briefing. Not the White house. Not politicans.

The Fact is EIT were used and those that should know did know.

"The result was silence and tacit approval by Ms. Pelosi and others."

That is all we need to know about Pelosi who was more interested at the time to "take over the Congress and the White House.

"some of them are offering a demeaning change of name for the Democrats to the "Democrat Socialist Party.""

Paul Seidman why is it demeaning to call a Socialist a "Socialist".

Be proud of why you are a Socialist and make sure you blame being a Socialist on Bush - Bush did it first still works.

Nothing better then the government and the union running General Motors, and the government owns 80% of AIG. Fannie and Freddy own the mortgages of half the homes in America.

Health Care and the power industries are next up.

"And I don't think Reid got Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki indicted, but he might have helped..."

We are LOL with you Jon

Reid-led gutting of the Yucca budget and the appointment of a former employee to head the NRC.

Now that Reid is in the position of shutting down the Nuclear, clean coal, oil, and gas power industries; and we cannot put solar plants in the Mojahve desert, we are awaiting what Harry Reid will allow us to do

Here is what Obama's proposed 2010 budget says:

- "The Budget provides $196.8 million for the Department of Energy (DOE) to ....and to continue participation in the repository license proceeding before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

- "The President, however, has made clear that the Nation needs a better solution than the proposed Yucca Mountain repository.

- "Such a solution must be based on sound science AND capable of securing broad support, including support from those [read that as Harry Reid] who live in areas that might be affected by the solution.

So why are we LOL at Obama?

What Obama and Harry Reid are saying is the NIMBY policy work for them, BUT only them.

At the embryonic stem cell EO meeting 3-9-2009 Steven Chu was present. Obama said "Our government has forced WHAT I [Obama] BELIEVE is a false choice between sound science and moral values"

Obama further said "it is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda and that we make facts, not ideology."

What is Obama doing about the sound science of Yucca Mountain or alternative nuclear waste storage?

Nothing

"Still there is, so far, no organized opposition to the tax increases."

"They [the Democrats] wanted to hide it while they paraded a constant stream of their core constituencies in front of committees, who begged them for a tax increase."

"The strategy is drawn from lessons learned during the last major tax fight in the Nevada Legislature, in 2003."

Is this the kind of Legislators we want? To have a strategy has from the beginning been to play hide the ball [from Taxpayers]on taxes.

How can you organize against Legislator who have the power and are gaming the process?

In New Mexico this week Obama used the core talking points of the April 15th "Tea Parties."

Our deficit is too high, it will drive Inflation and and this "bill" will be passed on and hurt our children.

That is the setup not for reduced spending - but higher taxes on the Rich AND the Middle Class AND the Poor.

Lets recap

Nancy Pelosi says that the CIA professionals lied to her

Nancy Pelosi says that she knew about waterboarding but did not protest.

Nancy Pelosi says that she knew about waterboarding but had to shift her attention to winning political control of Congress and the White House.

Nancy Pelosi saw no need to actually do her oversight job in the House.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are now writing inept laws that the rest of will have to live with.

The Administration budget proposes to eliminate the Yucca Mountain repository program, yet read the opening line.

"The Budget provides $196.8 million for the Department of Energy (DOE) to ....and to continue participation in the repository license proceeding before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission."

"The President, however, has made clear that the Nation needs a better solution than the proposed Yucca Mountain repository.

Such a solution must be based on sound science and capable of securing broad support,

INCLUDING support from those who live in areas that might be affected by the solution.

So regardless of the good science of the National Lab directed by Obama and Chu if a Harry Reid does not want a facility because is serves his re=election then forgetable the good science.

Obama's budget statement is telling you it is about politics.

At the embryonic stem cell EO meeting 3-9-2009 Steven Chu was present.

Obama said "Our government has forced WHAT I [Obama] BELIEVE is a false choice between sound science and moral values"

Obama further said "it is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda and that we make facts, not ideology."

But if Reid loses in 2010 then the project can pick up where it is now with the NRC approval of good science nearly in hand.

Because Harry Reid refuse to do the only right action which is to change the NWPA law and give the electric ratepayer back their $30 billion dollars.

"Why do Democrats want to "help" Republicans win at the the 2010 elections?"

"Answer: That's known as a false question in philosphy."

Classic misdrection answer.

The real answer is just as with McCain when the Democrats pick liberal Republican candidates the Republicans lose.

"The President, however, has made clear that the Nation needs a better solution than the proposed Yucca Mountain repository.

Such a solution must be based on sound science and capable of securing broad support, including support from those who live in areas that might be affected by the solution."

So from Obama's point of view if Harry Reid does not want but the science ids proven then Harry Reid wins.
