BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

"SEN. ORRIN HATCH (R), UTAH: In the long run, it's better to have a bipartisan compromise situation than it is to have one side just ram their own ideas through without any consideration of the other side. And you you know, we're talking about 1/6 of the American economy. That's pretty doggone important. You just can't do it in a partisan way." The Repuglicans had 14 years to do something about the health care crisis in this country and they did absolutely NOTHING! Now they're out and about whining about being left out, this is hypocisy to the nth degree. For God's sake it's time for Americans to wake up, the Repuglicans aren't interested in healthcare, they aren't interested in the American people, all they're interested in is "breaking Obama" and regaining control of the American government. If that happens, we are in deeper trouble than we're in today. For God's sake don't forget, George Bush was handed a thriving economy with a surplus, it took him and the rest of the whining Repuglican gang to bring us to the brink of a depression!

"...one of the chief architects of the torture memos testifies that the president has the inherent constitutional right to crush the testicles of a child..." . "John Yoo publicly argued there is no law that could prevent the President from ordering the torture of a child of a suspect in custody -- including by crushing that child’s testicles." Oh my God!

"Fleischer: Torture Investigation 'Disgusting' " Methinks the Repuglicans certainly do protest too much, it makes one wonder how many of these Bush/Cheney Repuglicans will end up hoisted on their own petard! Actually it's the Repuglicans who support torture that are "disgusting"!!!

Well now, nose out of joint, panties in a knot, don't like the truth, TV personality Chuck Todd was miffed. "Chuck Todd Tells Jeremy Scahill "That Was a Cheap Shot" -- "You Sullied My Reputation on TV" Chuck Todd is no Walter Cronkite, he's just another mainstream corporate media ditto head, who imagines himself a celebrity!

This is what happens when conservatives infiltrate every aspect of government and society! "The Further Pillage of New Orleans: Shady Bush Cronies Sold Us Faulty Pumps" The company who sold the pumps was closely tied to the Bush family, at one time even employing Jeb Bush: WASHINGTON — Huge flood-control pumps installed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina don't protect the city adequately and the Army Corps of Engineers could have saved $430 million in replacement costs by buying proven equipment, a federal investigation finds. The investigation by the federal Office of Special Counsel finds there was "little logical justification" for the corps' decision to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the "untested" hydraulic pumps..." It's called "cronyism" and that's how conservatives filch the big taxpayer bucks! No wonder they don't want healthcare reform!
