The American Future Fund (AFF) today purchased airtime on radio stations in Nevada and the District of Columbia to run the 60-second ad "YouTube Sensation," which calls on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to explore domestic sources of energy, including allowing for offshore drilling and exploration for oil shale.

Lost in the mainstream media mush this week was Seymour Hersh’s explosive reporting that the Democrats bent over for the president on 400 million plus for covert funding the President requested for use in destabilizing Iran. At the very time the National Intelligence Agency was telling the President, Congress and the world that they found no concrete evidence that the Iranians were pursuing nukes, the president and his cronies were going ahead with plans to hookup with Iranian dissidents. Hoping to keep sh*t shaky and on the edge for Ahmadinejad and friends, the president requested and got approval from the top echelons of congress via a Presidential Finding. Under federal law, a Presidential Finding is highly classified and must be issued when a covert intelligence operation is being initiated. All the big wigs must be advised of what is going on and approve. According to Hersh, the finding was focussed on undermining Iran’s nuke program, regime change and sucking up to oppositi

The fourth ad from the American Future Fund Political Action. Harry Reid once said the war is lost and said he wouldn t hide behind the troops, but he has done just that. Watch as Harry Reid backtracks from his war is lost statement and instead hides behind our troops in occasions too numerous to count!

I just don t think that this news thing is working out for Bill O Reilly. I personally thought that O Reilly s personal low was when he reported on Hanna Montana s racy photos. That was news? Now he does a segment on the DailyKos. I have been on the DailyKos about every day for the past week or so. There has been some great stuff posted but Billo found some one who posted something about Jenna Bush s wedding. Is this news? Really? Currently on DailyKos there are posting on Obama firing back on McCain over foreign policy. That seems to be a relevant topic. There is a posting on Harry Reid and the Dems winning the fight over FEC appointments. Finally, there is a article about McCain s campaign being flush with Lobbyists. The best part of Bill s segment is that he interview s internet expert Mary Katherine Ham. An internet expert? What the heck is that? An Internet expert. Does she work for Google? She is a blogger. She is a Right Wing Blogger. She is no more an expert on the internet than I am.

I like Harry Reid. I really do. That s why it kills me when he along with one of my other favorite Senators, Chris Dodd continues to defend Joe Lieberman by saying he only disagrees with us on the war. First of all, the war is no small issue in and of itself. Indeed, it encompasses virtually every critical aspect of George Bush s presidency, from torture to the Military Commissions Act to FISA. And besides the war, Lieberman has split with his party on the oh-so-minor issue of supporting its nominee for President. Download | Play Download | Play Lieberman, who supports us on virtually everything except the war, [actually gives the GOP a 50-49 majority] With a razor-thin majority, it makes sense politically to try and keep him happy. But do we really need to kid ourselves and pretend like Traitor Joe hasn t abandoned the party of every single important issue of the day? Hopefully Reid, Dodd and everyone else is just playing nice until we pad our majorities a little more. Then we can finally strip Senator Joe Lieberman (I) of his committee assignments and make his transformation into a full-blown neoconservative complete. Let s not also forget that Lieberman has shown an eager willingness to assume the role of Zell Miller, 2008 edition. No doubt he will use that precious opportunity (most likely on prime time television) to repeatedly bash the party Harry Reid and others still believe he belongs to. Glenn has a comprehensive rundown. You can also check below the fold for a few more one our readers sent us. Final Passage of S 2248: Joe Lieberman votes with Republican caucus and Blue Dog Dems to pass retroactive immunity: Cloture on S 2248: Joe Lieberman votes with Republican caucus Dodd/Feingold Amendment 3907 to strip RI from S 2248: Lieberman votes with Republican caucus Feingold Amendment 3912 to limit bulk collection: Lieberman votes with Republican caucus Specter-Whitehouse Amendment 3927 for substitution in telecom cases: Lieberman votes with Republican caucus Feinstein Amendment 3919 - the good faith amendment for telecom cases: Lieberman votes with Republican caucus Feinstein Amendment 3910, covering exclusivity of FISA: Lieberman votes with Republican caucus Feingold/Webb Amendment 3979 - sequestration - Lieberman votes with Republican caucus Notice a pattern?

Harry Reid took a tougher stance then we ve seen on the FISA battle on the hill today during the State of the Union preview speech at the National Press Club. He called out President Bush over his trying to force the bill to pass and pushing immunity for the telecoms. Reid wants there to be a debate on all the amendments. He s still playing it close to the vest on immunity, but probably playing it smart at this point. It still comes down to Monday.

He s either going to extend the law, or he will…which is temporary in nature, or there will be no wiretapping. We have worked very hard to try to come up with a way to proceed on this but it s up to the President. The amendments that were offered in the Senate … they would have passed. The majority of the senate favored these amendments. They refused to allow us to vote on what we call Title 1 which is a procedural aspect of this, and then they never even dreamed of our going to the second part, which is the retroactive immunity. Which is…there is real controversy over that and there should be a vote in the United States senate as to whether or not there should be retroactive immunity. They won t give us one. So again, it s up to the president. He can either continue the present law for an extended period of time, we would agree to two weeks, we would agree to a month, and we would agree to a longer period of time than that. But it is up to the president. Does he want the law? It s up to him. If it fails, he can give all the speeches he wants, including the State of the Union, about how we ve stopped things, if he does that, it s disingenuous, and it s not true. You can go to giveemhellharry, and sign the petition: If you care about your civil liberties and our national security, it is vital you tell your Senators to vote no on cloture Monday.

As reported on our blog Wednesday, DNCC CEO Leah Daughtry packed an overnight bag this week and headed to Las Vegas for a Convention Conversations forum with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Congresswoman Shelley Berkley. In this video, you ll see some of the great sites of Las Vegas and meet some of the people who came out to learn more about the Democratic National Convention and how they could get involved in the historic regional opportunities of 2008.

President Bush took the opportunity to wear out Congress yesterday morning. There was no sign that there should be any compromise. It should be his way. If you aren t doing it his way, he will veto it. He named a number of things that Congress isn t doing - Alternative minimum tax (which the Republican s had 6 years to do something on but didn t), His War Funding request and other spending bills. I find it odd that this man was labeled as the compassionate conservative. I hadn t seen one bit of compassion for the American people. I haven t seen the president compromise on any major piece of legislation. He has pushed, prodded, punched and run over anyone in his way. From WaPo: With his approval ratings stubbornly low, President Bush is trying to gain political traction by spoiling for fights with an institution the public appears to hold in even lower esteem: Congress. Bush held his 18th event of the year yesterday focused on his disputes with Capitol Hill, blasting Democratic lawmakers for not completing annual spending bills, or sending him war funding legislation, or finalizing a measure that would permanently legalize his administration s warrantless wiretapping program. The 19th event is to come this morning in a presidential news conference at the White House. Thankfully, Harry Reid, Democratic Senate Majority Leader, countered. The surge hasn t accomplished its goals, Reid said. We re involved, still, in an intractable civil war. In a wishy-washy piece in Politico.com, the author paints the Democrats has waffling on the Surge. Stating that some Democrats are saying that the Surge is in fact working. Any Democrats who have said that the Surge is working are either being quoted out of context (John Murtha) or have their heads in the sand. Right wing bloggers like Hot Air have missed the point. The point of the Surge was to decrease violence so that there could be political reconciliation. This is what President Bush said back in January. As I mentioned before, our military if given the right resources can control any space in the world. This is clear. No Democrat or Republican would argue this point. Our military has been proving that they can clear and hold territory ever since the war began. The problem was that our military would then have to leave that area and move to somewhere else that was out of control. When they left a power vacuum was filled with para-military Sunni s and Shiite s. Again, I would point out that the goal that President Bush set, not Congressional Democrats or Belt Way pundits. The President set the goal. The goal was to decrease the violence so that there can be a political power sharing agreement. alternative minimum tax, budget, bush administration, compassionate conservative, compromise, congress, countdown, democratic senate, democrats, harry reid, john murtha, legislation, political reconciliation, president bush, warrantless wiretapping
