My support for Bush does not include false dreams and hopes that should not be assigned to any single person....My support for Bush recognizes a man trying to do his level best in difficult circumstances that should have been properly addressed years ago.....My support for Bush comes from watching lesser men nip at his heels when showing a united front could possibly solve the Iraq problem without bloodshed.....Your man looks pretty damned small in my eyes...

AS--In reply to your statement the BIGDIG Tunnel in Boston is a state project please look at the facts above.
The federal Gov't will have expended 7,049 millions(7.05 biillion to you) of the total cost of 11.86 billion on this boondoggle. Leaving cost of approx 4.8 billion to the states various entities. This rape of the American taxpayer is now under investigation but you can bet your bippie the Kerry/Kennedy dynamic duo will sidetrtack it as to much came back into their pockets and the damage to Presidential hopeful Kerry would be extraordinary. With all due respect to his service in 'Nam he is a typical Demolib politician who steals what he can for votes.
