		<description>&lt;p&gt;Does nobody remember the Reichstag officially approved the repressive conduct of the BrownShirts prior to the 1933 legal take over by Hitler as the sole ruler of Germany? The Germans too had checks and balances and gave them away in the name of security. There was the very scary threat from the League of Nations from outside and the very scary threat of subversive Communists, appeasers, Jews, etc., from within.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We in the United States have the very scary threat of the Muslim religion from without and the very scary threat of us, the critics, the left wing press, and the brown people from withing. The Congress, even now under the Democratic party majority, is giving the potential dictators exactly what they want. More money for private military, more money for secret prisons, more money for incommunicado detentions, more money for officially approved torture, and all we do is comment on the obvious jokes about corrupted politicians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please think about how to interest the citizenry in restoring our independence as a democracy and fighting this move toward oligarchic dictatorship. We don’t have post WW1 Germany here, we have pre-fascist America. All the lies and propaganda techniques used by every dictator that ever existed is being used against us by George Bush and his cronies. Mr. Rove is STILL trying to convince us that lie is truth and so far no one is really calling him on it in the popular media. In fact, he has gotten away with treason.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;EW you know what the Republicans notion of oversight looks like.  Investigate lying about a bjob…forget the WMD intelligence snowjob that has resulted in millions of deaths, thousands of injuries and millions displaced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Republicans do have their priorities.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I sneaked a peek at them last night and decided that going to bed a midnite was probably a better idea than reading that 30+mb of a PDF.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Wow, the Republicans on the HJC included 700 pages of interview transcripts and hearing transcripts in the minority view. I think they were trying to win by sheer volume.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks MadDog!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That email address for Ms. Perino, would that be an appropriate spot to voice my complaint of her &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/12/01/give-helen-thomas-a-raise/&quot;&gt;treatment&lt;/a&gt; of Helen Thomas the other day?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;rotl — it appears that submitting the comment or clicking the link at the bottom of the comments makes the punctuation look funny in Safari.  If you click the hard reload button at the top, it fixes it.  Weird, but that appears to do the trick.  Still no luck with colons or semicolons though…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
