"1933 comes to your mind." Cary, It never ends with you. You could have at least added the <g> to your wisecrack. Yesterday Bush was poisoning the air-now he is Hitler. <gg> mike PS Actually this election was more of the same 50/50 division in the US. However this time Reps captured both houses and the Democrat victories were in the governors races. Those new governors are where the national democratic leadership will now come from in the future. Thats a good thing for them. Popular governors will yield electorate positive take on admin abilities of dems. And for the GOP they will get their chance to enact their agenda. We shall see. Saddam the big loser in this election by the way. Mike

What do you think about Liebermans proposal for eco stimulus? I know you will hate it. It only goes to the top 1%. <G> from msnbc "On the morning after the Democrats’ election defeats, one leading contender — Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman — focused on the ailing economy as a key to 2004. Lieberman was quick to tout his proposals to get the economy moving faster: a zero capital gains tax rate for direct investments in new, small technology companies. “The zero rate for a three-year stock holding would discourage early selling, giving entrepreneurs the financial oxygen they need to breathe,” said Lieberman in an op-ed piece in the San Jose Mercury News. He also proposed a one-year 20 percent tax credit for investments in information technology. “The Bush administration has no recovery strategy or no new ideas — only its old tax cut — to rejuvenate business investment and the tech sector,” he charged. Some left-leaning Democrats will oppose any new business tax breaks; They’re morel likely to back Gephardt or Dean than Lieberman."
