In other words, they met toghether to see if they could BUY the election for Kerry.
BTW, I was VERY suspicious when I first heard of Progressive Insurance and steered clear of it. Last yearm my suspicions were confirmed; the name of the company DID reflect the political beliefs of the owner.
And University of Phoenix is one of those ads that keeps popping up on my computer no matter how many times I try to shut it down or how many pop up blockers I install. I'm certain that it is a key logger. Never do business with one of those, and I hoe they jail any company that knowingly advertises that way. Now THAT is a nuisance.
Oh good grief. WA has too high a sales tax already.
I think Repubs could score big with a humorous commercial parodying these creeps. Make an ad with sleazy looking guys in a dark room, talking about how they want to buy the election. Narrator can say something like "don't let billionaires choose for you," or something along that line. Anyone agree?
Speaking from personal experience, the blunt truth will not get you elected. People do not want to hear there is not plenty of money to satisfy their demands for the nanny government to take care of them. Nobody wants to hear Social Security is a scam and is financially unsound in its current form. You'll lose an election telling the truth.
The truth is not comfortable or pretty and Americans want comfortable and pretty.
These corporate interests use the environmental angle to try and go around our "bottom up" structure of government by imposing top down structures that use hydrological boundaries that cross political lines. We are experiencing that on the Klamath where they are trying to establish a new bi-state bureaucracy whereby all natural resource use will be managed under the guidance of agency folks according to "science."
It is also interesting to note that compliance with environmental regulations is so costly that small business owners can't comply. The big companies can afford the licensed biologists, hydrologists, foresters, geologists, archaeologists required to complete the required management plan and accompanying environmental documents and review process. For instance, the CA Dept. of Fish and Game says that the CEQA environmental review process for permits to continue to irrigate land with water where threatened coho live, will be a minimum of $150,000. Who in h#ll has that kind of money if they are a small family farmer, rancher or timberlot owner?
It is clear that these regulations are intended to destroy small business competition and the middle class.
gimme a list, baby....
Progressive canceling bump! Got a better rate from Allstate anyway.
I was at Costco the other day and there was a huge stack of Kitty Kelley droppings. But next to that stack on the book table were seven other anti-Bush titles, many of which were very obscure. There were no anti-Kerry titles.
The only anomaly was the 9-11 report, which, if, you actually read it, provides a compelling basis for re-electing Bush. Costco apparently THINKS this is an anti-Bush book. But how could it be, with its graphic tales of negligence by the clinton crowd. One example. They passed up Massood's offer to attack Bin Laden's base and told him he would have to try to arrest Bin Laden instead of killing him. Two days before 911, Al Queda blew Massood to smithereens.
Good point, what is the difference between Soros and I> G Farben, or Krupp?
