    Every American …
    Every American should stand up and tell the politician. We will fight for the 1st Amendment. Everyone has the right to say any dumb-ass thing they want. That includes Sean Hannity, Ed Schultz, Allen Colmes, Rush, Thom Hartmann, Ginger Chan, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Stephanie Miller and AL Franken. We should never make one of these people NOT BE ABLE to give there Opinion, EVER! If you don’t like one of them change the channel, don’t take them off the air.

    Why did Waxman not …
    Why did Waxman not recommend she be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for gross violation of the Hatch act and other federal laws plus perjury? How is it that the law enforcement agencies seem so adept at putting away pot heads and vandals while Doan, a multiple felon whose arrest would genuinely benefit the entire nation, goes back to her comfy comfy comfy bed every single night.

    The current …
    The current congress should have a low approval rating. They are not aggressively acting on the will of the people. So What? That doesn’t make GW and his administration any less corrupt or incompetent. You should get a life rather than supporting intellectually challenged criminals. (How much are you going to overuse “bloviate” TAMARLANE?)

    You live on a completely different fact free planet than the rest of us TAMARLANE. Even the true conservatives don’t buy that BS. All of your belief-based rhetoric can’t change the facts. The biggest problem with the Democrats, at this point, is not pursuing the rampant corruption and incompetence aggressively enough.

    So you think that the OSC is just a tool of the democrats? Given its history thats what you come away with? Or are you just reacting to points scored against your side?

    Good for Waxman. …
    Good for Waxman. Doan is a BOOB who should be in JAIL. It is extremely refreshing to see even the tiniest amount of oversight. This President should impeached (then sent to Guantanamo or a secret Eastern European “facility”) along with his Vice Resisent and his entire cabinet. Then and only then can we sift through the congress for more traitors to the American people. This has to go from the top down or you don’t kill the cancer.

    What in the …
    What in the are you talking about? More than half a dozen people at that meeting testified Doan violated the Hatch act. The special investigator concluded she was unethical and that she broke the law. Is that spin?

    With all the …
    With all the hearings I see the democrats doing the exact same thing. They accuse, they bloviate, they spin (lie) they weave a great fairy tale of “It could have happened that way”. There is innuendo, there are half truths and their is air, vacuous air, coming out of both ends of these MFs.

    Actually, they are, b/c we need discourse, but please, keep it civil. You didn’t like it when I insulted you, did u?

    Oh, I see. Just another pontificating bloviating demagogue posing for the camera so that the dim bulbs like you will think they are actually doing something.
    Congress, under the leadership of the democrats has a lower approval rating than Bush does.
    For crying out loud, get a life.

    Keep up the shallow …
    Keep up the shallow, inaccurate and pointless comments TAMARLANE; it showcases the right wing intellect. This process has nothing to do with bringing charges. What Waxman and this committee can legally do is recommend the firing of Doan, which it will do. Further, it is not about what Waxman alone thinks, it is about the findings of this and other committees.

    One sided, out of context, unsubstantiated criticisms by a know liar.
    No charges have been filed against this individual, and they certainly would have been had Waxman been telling the truth.
