8. Yes, what you say makes perfect sense. But,
I just can't stand the way corporate media is portraying this.

This article in particular just left me scratching my head.

WASHINGTON — Censure President Bush? Impeach him? Or discreetly kill those ideas to avoid fueling Republican intensity?

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi has chosen the “discreetly kill” option, arguing that the current impeachment/censure talk is just a pointless distraction from the party’s message.

~snip~

She rebuffed the call by Sen. Russ Feingold, D- Wisc., to censure Bush for ordering National Security Agency surveillance of al Qaida contacts with persons in the United States without seeking warrants from a court.

“I have no idea why anybody would censure someone before they have an investigation,” she said.

Is it me, or does it seems maybe some of Pelosi's comments are taken way out of context? (I know, doh!) Also, if you read to the end, it seems, well, all over the place, for lack of better description. The corporate MSM and Republican message machine has the Dems in Congress jumping through hoops if you believe this stuff. My question is, how do we find a cohesive message and game plan if theirs is so distorted after being filtered through the corporate media? No wonder we're all confused.
