Guantanamo report takes on political dimension

COLUMBIA - A recent cable news report that Guantanamo Bay detainees could be sent to South Carolina has provoked a roiling political debate, even though the concept of the transfer isn't new and doesn't appear imminent.

What the brain dead Reps cant grasp is that these men have never been found guilty of a single thing.
Never even charged with a single thing because they truly didn't have any evidence that they engaged in nor supported terrorism.

They are kidnapp victims being illegaly held and the UN should sue on their behalf.

Again for you brain dead Reps -They have NEVER been charged with a single thing. They are NOT terrorists.

SC is a bible thumping Neocon strnghold and cruel to send anyone there.

Than again a place like SC in dire need of diversity would be helped by sending anyone who is a non christian but again cruel to send anyone there.

"Whit Ayres, a Republican pollster, said that Democrats such as Cooper had reason to be nervous.'Republicans won independents by 2 to 1. It was overwhelming. It was breathtaking,' Ayres said.'That is a huge shift since the last two elections in a very short amount of time.'

"Ayres said that his polling data indicate a clear shift in the independent vote starting in April. He said that 'spending and debt' are the reasons –'starting with the bailouts, followed up with the stimulus package, the budget with its $1-trillion deficit, healthcare with another trillion.'"

'The question is, do people think we're tending to the things they care about?' said Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.) as he left a meeting of Senate leaders. He said there was palpable concern among his colleagues Wednesday that the main agenda items Democrats are pursuing -- health care and climate change -- resonate very little with voters focused on finding or keeping jobs.

'There are going to be a lot more tensions between the White House and Congress,' predicted Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.), a member of the Blue Dog Coalition of fiscally conservative Democrats.'They've been under the surface so far -- and they're going to come out in the open.'...'lesser mortals need to be worried about their independent voters,' Cooper said,'because they have shifted strongly against Democrats in recent months. Independent voters tend to look at the issue, not the party, and they don't like a lot of what Congress has done.'

Nazi Pelosi is increasingly becoming less & less popular, as is the president, who stubornly insists on passing an unpopular health Scare reform bill.

Next Presidential Election, it will be a Republican President elected, for sure, no doubt..........
