This is what it takes to get in the papers. The proposal is disgusting. It's a sop to get contributions from the trial lawyers.

He's not a liberal. Really.

Lieberman takes on jelly doughnuts

If it's going to be a fist fight...I'll put 20 on the jelly donuts.

[Mr. Thorne]

Keep your stinking hands off my DOUGHNUTS!

Liberals.

Good Grief.

Lieberman takes on jelly doughnuts

I've seen him take them on in 2 debates this fall.

[Pharmboy]

He's going to p*ss off the cops with that one...

[reagan_fanatic]

Mmmm - donuts.

Under Lieberman's plan, employees would pay about $1 per week into a program that would provide up to four weeks of leave at half pay.

What about the $550 a month I already pay in medical insurance or the $8,000 a year I pay in federal taxes or the $2400 I pay in property taxes. What about the Social Security and Medicare taxes or the state sales tax? Wow. Isn't he smart? He came up with another tax idea. Does anyone think this program would stay at $1 per week per employee? Let's see, an employer has 25 employees. That would be $1200 per year into this fund. How many of you think $1200 would cover the costs of providing this level of protection to employees? How many of you think $1200 would cover the Federal Paperwork involved in handling one claim?

Bush and the Republicans are in the pocket of the Big Doughnut Companies - Krispy Kreme and Drunken Doughnuts - who push their addictive products on the weakest among us - women, children, cops and Homer Simpson.

As consumers, before we buy products, it is a good thing to know something about the products. I don't mind at all that food is required to have nutritional information. This conservative does not see an erosion of the Constitution. For those who say that parents are responsible for their children, not the government, this will make it a little easier for them to make decisions for their children. I don't know that I like the idea of be a big neon warning, but I do like having the info.

• Studies show jelly doughnuts are a gateway to even stronger junk food.
• It's time America declares war on this vile substance that is destroying our children.
• If you oppose a war on jelly doughnuts, you're nothing but a hedonistic libertine. Go away and download your porn while chomping on your jelly doughnuts.
• Some studies show jelly doughnuts cause brain damage.
• The federal government needs a jelly doughnut czar to co-ordinate national anti- jelly doughnut law enforcement.
• Let's not forget a new federal quasi-police force to enforce federal jelly doughnut laws. Call it the Jelly Doughnut Enforcement Agency (JDEA).
• Personally, I'm opposed to using jelly doughnuts even for medicinal purposes.

"Lieberman takes on jelly doughnuts."

I feel so much safer, now. I can see the Democrats have their priorities in order. But instead of taking on the Jelly doughnuts, why doesn't Lieberman negotiate with them first...and try to contain them. With Kerry taking on Big Pharmacy; Gephardt taking on Medicare; Edwards fighting against tort reform and Dean & Co. taking on Big Bad Bush, I feel as though I can sleep better at night.
