USA Today notes that there is little evidence of voter fraud to justify ID laws. Thanks for finding this, Schmog XX!!!

Conservatives disagree with yet another bipartisan commission report and have sat on it's release.

Typical--living in lies.

I heard Andrew Sullivan and a conservative movement founder who wrote a book that is is called something likeConservatives Betrayed by Bush on Al Franken's show today. They were both saying how Bush and Congress have abused power beyond belief. Why doesn't the media point this out?

Watching the reporters' faces, watched over by Karl Rove, during Bush's press conference yesterday I could tell that everyone of them was like, "Can you believe what a hole this President has dug us into with Korea, Iraq and our pork spending--and here he is telling us that 'balanced budget' Clinton's plan didn't work for Korea and that the Democrats are going to raise taxes if they are elected [okay, that last comment was the day before]?"

I don't think anyone believes Bush anymore, and I seriously think Korea has absolutely undermined his credibility and judgement on nearly everything, especially on the trails of Katrina and "Denial" in Iraq (speaking of that, in his recent comments he's called MIT's reports on Iraq's estimated deaths, "uncredible" and Hastert, "credible," our President is so ass-backwards it really is insane.)

Of note: When Claire McCaskill was debating Jim Talent on Meet the Press she didn't back down from her comment about Bush leaving poor blacks to die in New Orleans. She did say she could have phrased it better. My husband and I were thinking, hmmm, was Katrina, on the federal level, really malice or was it only incompetence? What can we compare it to? My husband remembered how Bush's agencies responded to the hurricanes near Miami recently--VERY DIFFERENTLY, VERY QUICKLY. What else are we to make of that comparison other than disinterest, disregard, distance? Malice is indifference, is it not?

Peace.
