Here is another site: dsausa.org What is disturbing here is the membership includes many members of congress. Henry Waxman and Cynthia McKinney are two that come to mind. I think of this everytime I see Waxman on TV trying to provoke the politics of the Enron failure which they are calling a scandal. (CNBC refers to it as a scandal as well as many of the other 'mainstream' media outlets.) Then, there is the Green Party which advocates government ownership of the largest corporations 'to protect Americans' from corporate greed. You have to wonder, how long can the free enterprise system endure with such ultra-left wing adversaries constantly sniping at them? The election of a couple more presidents of Clinton's ilk just might tilt the capitalist system permanently.

Don't Run, Hillary, Don't Run Monday, February 04, 2002 ALBANY, N.Y. — More voters nationwide are beginning to take Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton at her word when she says she won't run for president in 2004, according to results of a poll released Monday. And, by a larger than 2-to-1 margin, voters nationwide think the New York Democrat should never run for the White House. The poll, by Marist College's Institute for Public Opinion, found that about one in four voters think the former first lady will run for president in 2004. That is down from 36 percent who felt that way in a poll issued in March by the institute, based in Poughkeepsie. Broken down by party, more Republicans (30 percent) than Democrats (19 percent) believe Clinton will run for president in 2004. "She remains, nationally, a person who still divides the country along party lines," Marist pollster Lee Miringoff said. Clinton has said she does not plan to run for president in 2004, but has not flatly ruled anything out beyond that. Twenty-seven percent of voters questioned said Clinton should someday run for president, while 65 percent said she should not. That is statistically unchanged from the Marist poll of March. "As Senator Clinton has said, she is not running for president; she is working hard in the Senate for the people of New York," said Clinton spokeswoman Karen Dunn when asked about the poll. Republican consultant Jay Severin said that Clinton's decision to hold a fund-raiser in Washington next month for Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack is evidence that the senator is preparing to run for president in 2008. "She's going to collect chits," Severin said Monday. "The biggest George Bush fan in America right now for '04 is Hillary Clinton. She needs Bush to win in '04 so there is the combination of an open seat and a rationale for her being the rebuilder and savior of the Democratic Party. I'll bet my house she's running in '08." Democrats were about evenly split on whether the former first lady should someday run for president -- 44 percent said she should and 48 percent said she should not. There was no such uncertainty among Republicans, with 83 percent saying Clinton should never run for president. "The best thing in the poll, if she ever wants to run for higher office, is Democrats do divide fairly evenly, so there are Democrats to work with for her," Miringoff said. The telephone poll of 785 registered voters was conducted Jan. 14-24 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. foxnews.com

Bush connects! Chris Matthews newsandopinion.com -- YOU'RE talking long-distance, and the guy sounds like he's in the same room with you. That's what it's like listening to President Bush these days. As he stood surrounded by all those politicians Tuesday night, he didn't look like one of them. He seemed and sounded like one of US. Talk about perfect pitch! He knows that the "beautiful people" are out, and, instead, servicemembers are in. Rather than big shots, he packed the First Lady's gallery with flight attendants, teachers and military wives. No famous faces. Just heroes and the widows of heroes. In telling their heart-rending stories, Bush didn't let his voice catch like Reagan did. He didn't say he felt the pain of those people up in the balcony the way Clinton fancied. Just the opposite! Instead of leading the nation in self-pity, he told us to buck up and give two years of our lives to the country with something called the Freedom Corps. He reminded us what a "privilege" it is for leaders like him to fight freedom's battle and how America stands "firm for the non-negotiable demands of human dignity." Again and again Tuesday night, he underlined what an "opportunity" history has granted us. You know, the way Jack Kennedy once did. Bush also knows the power of simple honesty. The first sentence out of his mouth Tuesday night was a confession that the economy's in a "recession." He admitted his policies would cause new federal deficits and, though he couldn't quite say "Enron," that we've got problem with corporate sleaze. The State of the Union also struck the right bi-partisan tone. Bush bragged how he and the Democrats forged the education bill. "I was so proud of our work I even had nice things to say about my friend Ted Kennedy." He joked that the conservative folks back at his Crawford, Texas, coffee shop couldn't quite believe he had gotten so much cooperation out of the big, bad liberal from Massachusetts. It's public displays like this that explain why two-thirds of the American people, and the even the majority of hardcore Democrats, believe that this young president has changed the tone in Washington for the better. It also explains why partisan shots by Tom Daschle and others have boomeranged. This vital president knows that it's time for unity in face of a common threat. "Evil is real, and it must be opposed," he said Tuesday. "Beyond all differences of race or creed, we are one country, mourning together and facing danger together." And that danger is real and present. Bush presented himself before Congress and the country not as a self-involved Prom King, but as a guy with a job to do. "The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." "He doesn't distract us with charisma," media critic Tom Shales wrote after watching him address the Congress. "He gets his message out efficiently and then goes back to work." And that's what we want right now. Of all the terrors at large in the world, none scares me more than the prospect of a president not taking this job seriously, some politician playing the usual game -- but this time, with our lives and safety as the stakes. The reason Bush's job approval is near 90 percent, the reason we feel so close to him, is that he so obviously does. "Whatever it costs to defend our country, we will pay it." newsandopinion.com
