At a private fund-raiser in Los Angeles for Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told the crowd that President Bush merely had been "selected" president, not elected, Newsweek reports in the current issue. "You know, I'm a fan of Clintonomics," she told the crowd while standing from a perch on the staircase of movie producer Alan Horn's art-filled Bel Air home, "and this administration is destroying in months our eight years of economic progress." Though she and her husband had raised more money than any other Democratic political team this year, Clinton said, Bush's machine has raised far more "to try to ruin the reputations of our candidates or, if they can't, to depress the turnout" by making campaigns unpalatably nasty. "But, you know, you have got to hand it to them," Clinton said with what sounded like a rueful appreciation. "These people are ruthless and they are relentless." The combativeness -- and sense of familial pride -- is just as strong on the other side of the clan war that lurks just beneath the surface of this dreary, anxious and economically unsettled campaign season, reports Chief Political Correspondent Howard Fineman in the November 4 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, October 27). As this election season shows, the Clintons and the Bushes have become the organizing principals of American politics. And the Bush family is gathering as one to defend Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, the president's embattled brother, targeted for a last-minute barrage by the Clinton-era alumni who run the Democratic National Committee. The president has visited a dozen times and dispatched tons of money and election lawyers, Fineman reports. As Jeb debated Bill McBride on statewide television last week -- C-Span showed it on tape delay -- former president George Herbert Walker Bush, in Houston, fielded instant updates from Jeb's campaign manager, Sally Bradshaw, in Florida. "Old 41" then relayed the battlefront bulletins to the current President Bush, who was up at the White House helping baby brother Marvin celebrate his birthday. They agreed to agree that "Jebbie" had won, Fineman reports. prnewswire.com

Virtually anyone can be a Democrat. Just simply quit thinking and vote that way. However, if you want to be a really GOOD Democrat, there are some prerequisites you must have first. Compare the below and see how you rate. 1. You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding. 2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex. 3. You have to believe that guns, in the hands of law-abiding Americans, are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese communists. 4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding. 5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by yuppies driving SUVs. 6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural. 7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand. 8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity. 9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists from Seattle do. 10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it. 11. You have to believe that the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars. 12. You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution. 13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high. 14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, General Robert E. Lee, or Thomas Edison. 15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't. 16. You have to believe Hillary Clinton is really a lady. 17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge. 18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belongs in the White House. 19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal. 20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States. Vote Democratic... It's easier than getting a job. From My E MAil..
