History of Dixiecrats well-known. No one's denying it. They switched parties because the dems went for Civil rights. they found a home in the GOP and now they control the GOP. Bill Gates spoke out two years ago against tax cuts for the rich saying it would bankrupt necessary social programs. he is a major philanthropist and actually cares about the poor. The problem with the current GOP is they dont. They attack them instead. They get their blacks to tell the poor to not want any help. To do it themselves. How? If you're born in a ghetto you have a mighty hard time finding the bottom step on the ladder. Can be done but why not help them a little? I'm not for big hand-outs just a little help. Without it crime will rise, illiteracy will rise, and many-many children will be left behind.

Get your heads out of the sand, right-wingers. Tax cuts the Buffett and gates are wrong and will cost millions of average Americans. Making Iraq the priority will cost the war on terrorism and only end up making Bush's big oil friends richer. And the GOP having taken on the embarassing old Dixiecrat part of the Dem party is owned by them now, along with the big pollutors and HMO's. Even poster boy Frist is owned by HMO's lock, stock and barrel. So the consumer gets screwed again. As usual under this administration. Enron lives. And Kenny Boy walks free. Proud of yourselves? Maybe you listen to Rush Limbaugh too much. Last time I did he told two big lies about John Kerry and no truths. #1 that Kerry wants to raise taxes (he doesn't, wants an immediate payroll tax cut) and #2 that he got a $150 haircut. He didn't it was $75 and so big deal. Any major hair stylist will charge $75 a cut. So you want to beleve in liars go ahead, But I don't. Kery's a real Honest Abe and Kerry's worth 850 million so he can afford any hair cut he wants. he's also against tax cuts for the very rich. Which costs him doesn't help him. Bush gets his hair cut by the tax-payer. Again who cares? All I care about is truth now, common sense, good ideas and fairness. I would vote for McCain. But he'll never be nominated. So how about Kerry-McCain and lets' straighten out this nation, this economy and this world. It's been a terrible two years and the next one looks awful too. No accident who's in charge.
