I agree. There is no reason to continue this debate, because the GOP is no better. Each party believes they are better, but they are not. I'll give you a simple rule of thumb to go by. You know someone is biased when they will refuse to admit that both parties are equally as corrupt. I see it on the Obama thread all the time. Folks over there claim the Dems are full of integrity compared to the GOP. Then I come over here and over on the Politics of Energy thread and I see Republicans claiming the GOP is full of integrity in comparison to the Dems. It's all one big joke. They're all corrupt as hell. The only question is whether you are going to get your priorities passed into law. That's the only thing that matter, given the fact that our system is corrupted and no one is really willing to change how it all works.

That's why they say you have to get them before they get to the airport....... Security Concern Causes Flight to Return to St. Louis Friday, January 01, 2010 Print ShareThisST. LOUIS — Company officials say a United Airlines Express flight headed to Chicago had to return to St. Louis as a precaution because of a screening issue. GoJet Airlines, the regional carrier that operated Flight 7445, had a problem with its computers Friday morning, and had to use a manual system to check in passengers. A spokesman for Trans State Holdings, which owns GoJet, says the computers started working again after the flight took off from Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. That's when the airline learned the name of one of the passengers on the flight matched a name on the Transportation Security Administration's restricted passenger list. The Trans State Holdings spokesman, Fred Oxley, says the flight returned around 8 a.m. as a precaution, and took off again around 9:30 a.m. after the airline determined the passenger was not the same person on the list. The plane later landed in Chicago.
