Reverend Al Sharpton is very relevant. He is the only democrap that doesn't have lots of baggage. Look Howard Dean is a die hard racist. He is attempting to appeal to ignorant confederate flag waving rednecks. Loppy is pathetic. he blamed his campaign manager for his failure as a candidate. can't take responsibility, huh? he is finished. General Clark doesn't even know which party he belongs too. Wasn't even registered as a democrap for the longest. Won't even bother to address the rest of em. Not worth my time.

Lizzie,re:"Bush's cut and run...". It could be a head-fake. Just get re-elected and then on to his fantasy/fanatic ambition (or whoever giving him order).

<<...The invasion and conquest of Iraq by the United States last spring was the result of what is probably the least ambiguous case of the misreading of secret intelligence information in American history. Whether it is even possible that a misreading so profound could yet be in some sense "a mistake" is a question to which I shall return. Going to war was not something we were forced to do and it certainly was not something we were asked to do. It was something we elected to do for reasons that have still not been fully explained...>> nybooks.com

Lizze got this email and thought you could appreciate the humor.. Bush Lays Off Congress; will Outsource Lawmaking to India By Jay Slupesky 10/23/03: (ICH) Citing the growing cost of running the Federal government and the need to cut costs in order to reduce the budget deficit, President Bush announced today that he was laying off all 535 members of Congress and transferring lawmaking operations to a legislative support center in Bangalore, India. "Hey, outsourcing is the way to go these days," said Bush at an impromptu news conference where he announced the decision, adding, "The American people want to see less government waste. Since every one of those ex-Congressmen had a salary of $150,000, this move will cut our costs by over $80 million per year, and that's not even counting what we'll save on health insurance and retirement plans." Sources indicate that the Indian replacements will be paid approximately $250 per month. The outcry from the newly laid-off Senators and Representatives was swift . Ex-California Senator Diane Feinstein said, "This is absolutely outrageous. How can a bunch of replacements over in India run Congress? What do they know about filibusters and committee hearings?" As she was being escorted out of the Hart Senate Office Building by U.S. Capitol Police officers, Feinstein complained that the newly-terminated lawmakers were only given 10 minutes to clean out their desks and leave the building. "I think it's a great idea," said Vice President Dick Cheney, speaking from a secure undisclosed location. "The American people were fed up with that expensive do-nothing Congress which didn't give the President everything he asked for. Our new Indian replacements will be much more cooperative to the President, which is what we all want." Asked whether the outsourcing may be unconstitutional, Cheney noted, "That's up to the Supreme Court to decide, but they never pay much attention to the constitution anyway. To them it's a 'living document' that will be different every day. The new members of Congress seem thrilled with the attention they are receiving. Speaking from the offices of All-India Legislative Support Centre Ltd. in Bangalore, new Mississippi Senator Ramchandra Shektar Gupta told reporters, "The Indian people are very hard working and we will do our best as U.S. Congressmen and Congresswomen. And we are going to have some fun too. Just think: we have $2 trillion of the American taxpayers' money to spend.
