The Independent Wire

An independent look at today's top political stories. This site is truly an independent slant on the issues, if it appears to be slanted to the left that's only because the other side has been wrong at an unusually high rate as of late.

Reid Must Go

The Independent Wire is endorsing the replacement of Harry Reid as Senate Minority Leader. As rumor has it this site is frequently visited by all top Democratic strategists. The buzz surrounding us inside the beltway is enormous. We predict it won’t be long before right wing bloggers begin to question whether The Independent Wire is actually a well funded propaganda tool of the Democratic Leadership Council. As editor-in-chief I can assure my faithful readers that this is not the case, and we continue to operate independently.

The fact that Harry Reid is the minority leader to begin with speaks volumes about how far the Democrats have fallen, and it’s an example of why they’ve continued to lose elections since 1998. Without knowing the details of all the backroom deals and the power plays inside the senate one can only assume that the Democrats elected Harry Reid out of weakness. This was done in response to the post election polls from the last election which have been misinterpreted. That is the reason the new minority leader is a soft spoken man from a red state who can speak about religion and moral values.

The call to replace Harry Reid at this time is based on his head scratching decision to come out in support of Harriet Miers. Why would the Democrats come out in favor of Bush appointing someone to the Supreme Court whom is rumored to be eternally loyal to him? Are they only thinking of the abortion issue? It’s been suspected that Bush privately doesn’t want to overturn Roe vs. Wade, based on the fact that his mother and wife are both pro-choice. If this is true do the Dems think that Miers wouldn’t vote to overturn Roe and therefore that’s enough for them?

Even the conservatives, who think Miers will vote with them on the abortion issue, are against her because they realize that the Supreme Court is not just about abortion and at the end of the day she is just not qualified for this lifetime appointment. And consider that, abortion aside, she will most likely end up voting the way they want on most other issues. This shows that they take nominations to the Supreme Court more serious than any Democratic senator who would support Miers based on what we know about her so far.

This was such a monumental miscalculation by Harry Reid that the Democrats need to replace him as their minority leader in order to not make the support for Miers a party decision, but rather a Harry Reid decision. Even if Miers will uphold Roe vs. Wade, her presence on the court will be about the same as giving George Bush himself a lifetime appointment to the court, and what Democrat in their right mind would ever consider such a thing? Well, Harry Reid is one, and that is why he must go.

more specifically, check out the photo
they use for karl rove. now, click on that photo and dig into the other photos. the first pic looks nothing like Karl Rove, the others represent his usual fat, white haired self. Is it by chance the first photo does not represent the typical image of Karl Rove that all Americans have come to know or I am digging too deep here. Basically, the average dumb american would think hmm, who the hell is this guy, doesn't look familar but his name sounds familar. Ahh fuck it, let's go to more porn, Bush rocks.
