shouldn't you vote for Sherman. Those others guys want to give you some mmoney back. They want to reduce your taxes by 1%, let you pass on your estate tax free, eliminate marriage penalty and reduce capital gains.

Sherman (bill) give to those who don't know how to save!!!! Let's get more social programs you can afford it!!!

I think after to reconsider you will vote for more social programs.<g>

Barry,

According to Congressman Sherman's website, he is a graduate of Harvard Law School. And a practicing tax attorney. Just an FYI, I'm not here to split hairs.

Here is my new beef. Okay, we CNBC viewers were inundated with the hourly "Hillary-watch--will she or won't she..ooooh" crapola from Alina Cho...for more than a month. Okay, I want to know who writes that crap. Because, check me if I'm wrong, but a book came out this week, quoting an Arkansas State Policeman saying that Hillary had a hot and heavy affair herself with Vince Foster. You know, Vince Foster, that White House confidant who, ahem, committed suicide (yeah, that's the ticket) in a park of all places. Geez, I cannot remember Alina mentioning this revelation even once today. Hmm, Hillary having an affair with her former law partner would speak VOLUMES about why she was so willing to let a philandering husband off the hook on several occasions. It would also indicate why Vince Foster met an untimely death ("Uhh, Hillary, the pressure's getting to me...I gotta tell my wife and get this off my chest..." "Vince, as your law partner, I can advise you that it would be very unhealthy for you to make such a disclosure. As the wife of a sex hound, I am in a position where people feel sorry for me, thereby enhancing my political aspirations. Also, the fact that I stick around makes me very appealing to gay and lesbian groups, who wonder if my sexual orientation has something to do with my indifference towards my husband's infatuation with overweight young women...Vince, Webb H. went to Federal prison for betraying my trust...you could meet a worse fate...p.s. let's meet in the park for one last fling, yours truly, Hillary").

Am I just paranoid, or is the timing of Hillary "speaking out" about her husband's misgivings in this new magazine too weird, considering the fact that certainly her "handlers" knew this book would be coming out.

You know, it just pisses me off when CNBC, CNN, etc., pick and choose what stuff to air and what stories to hide. Yeah right, even though this is a State Trooper who is saying this, let's just brush this under the rug and continue to portray Hillary as a strong woman who has overcome her husband's infidelities. Ok, if a State Trooper says that I was clocked going 85 mph in a 60 mph zone, his word is gospel in a court of law, but if he says Hillary R. Clinton had flings with her law firm mates, his word doesn't hold any weight...please, if there are any attorneys out there, can you please explain to me how State Troopers' statements carry so much weight in some situations, but carry no weight in others?

Yeah, it would certainly tarnish that press-spun image if America found out that Hillary didn't care because she had some sexual innuendos in her closet as well. If Alina Cho can't report both sides of the story, then CNBC should banish her to the world of Geraldo...quite frankly, I am sick and tired of hearing only about "how great this woman is. What a national treasure we have for a First Lady..." Hey Alina, take it to the National Enquirer or People Magazine! Not to mention the fact that the whole schpeel has absolutely nothing to do with the financial markets. Memo to Alina: call People Magazine and give us an update on how Babs is doing with that Internet portfolio of hers. Indeed, there is a place for this propaganda, unfortunately for Alina, it's on the E! Network, not a financial channel.
