Stephen Pizzo issues a call for obstructionism

my sentiments exactly...

Bush has three more years at the wheel. How are we going to keep this guy from creating any more messes we, our children, and our grandchildren will have to clean up? [...] If ever there was a time to employ massive obstruction, it's now. After all the damage the Bushites have already done, are we really going to just let these Typhoid Marys continue infecting everything they touch, everything Americans hold dear?

I proposed back then that House and Senate Democrats stop running from Republican charges that they are being obstructionists, and instead turn obstructionism into a virtue. When Republicans accuse them of obstructing administration plans, programs or appointees, instead of launching into some convoluted, triangulated response, just thank them for the compliment.

he then calls bushco's patriotism into question, spurred no doubt by the renewed demonization of administration critics as irresponsible and unpatriotic...

• How patriotic is it for US kids to get killed to fulfill some neocon wet-dream of democratizing the Middle East?

• How patriotic is it to lie to the US Congress, to the United Nations and the American people to justify that deadly fool's errand?

• How patriotic is it to get over 2000 America kids killed just so we can turn Iraq over to a convicted embezzler, serial liar and human scum like Ahmed Chalabi?

• How patriotic was it to appoint a certifiable imbecile to run America's lead emergency response agency?

• How patriotic is it to turn America's once-robust middle class into a bunch of underpaid Wal-Mart surfs [sic]?

• How patriotic is it to allow nearly 60 million American men, women and children, to face life without even the most basic health coverage?

• How patriotic is it to saddle working families with skyrocketing energy prices while energy companies pocket obscenely large profits? (Might this be why they insist on keeping secret the Vice President's energy task force proceedings?)

• How patriotic is it to toss tax cut crumbs to hardworking Americans while giving the already wealthy windfall tax cuts?

• How patriotic is it to stand by while your nation runs secret dungeon- prisons offshore and tortures foreign prisoners in America's name?

• How patriotic is it to let large drug companies monopolize the market on lifesaving drugs, and then pass a law prohibiting bankrupt Medicare from negotiating lower prices for such drugs?

• How patriotic is it for top administration officials to lie to a federal prosecutor?

obviously, the issue isn't patriotism... the issue is insuring that any and all who stand in the way of bushco's accumulation of absolute power and the money to back it up are removed by any and all means at their disposal... and, yes, we have three more years... what ARE we going to do...?
