KIS, man are we ever seeing THAT quote in action! I remember posting about 2 years ago on the MDA thread that "this country is being bribed". I still think the non-clowns outnumber the clowns bigtime. What's the first rule of combat, something like take out the enemy's communications? Started taking care of that when they bought Ted Turner out (I believe with a stipulation of a time limit he couldn't get back in). Oh yeah, and then THEY acknowledged MSFT had a PR problem. No problem, just buy the PR! Me thinks many see a method to this madness. Over this 8 year administration, I've YET to meet one single person face to face that has been supportive of this BS!

Nice quote, and I completely agree about only taxpayers being allowed to vote. Maybe we'll get a chance to vote on that in the next election! LOL! I'd also like to see presidental/administration term limits change to a max of 2 3-year terms while we're at it. I'm sure we'll personally have as much of a chance on voting for that as we did when the whole term limit thing was the buzz on the previous election. They quietly disposed of that MYTH that the public may have wanted that, and decided to vote themselves a nice raise for their decision ;-)

regards,
Tom
