Sometimes I think throwing Republicans out of office would be a good thing...then I remember they would be replaced with Democrats...

First came the shocker from the Government Accountability Office, the auditing arm of Congress, that $1.4 billion in hurricane assistance was looted by recipients who used the money to buy season football tickets, take vacations and even to pay for a divorce lawyer.

Voters are not going to lay the blame for this on the GOP.

Then there was the vote in the House, 249-to-167, to block a recorded vote on an impending congressional pay raise. The $3,300 raise is on autopilot unless lawmakers vote to kill it. If the Senate doesn't kill it, members of Congress will see their salaries rise to $168,500 a year -- much more than they're worth.

Lambro is really delusional if he thinks that enough voters to make any difference, even know or care that congress gave themselves this pay raise.

It really is extraordinary what an awesome job Bush is doing. The fact that a nation at war can reduce its deficit position is proof positive of his strong fiscal position.

I defy anyone to show me the US reducing the deficit at any prior time in war time.

We are fighting a global WAR on terror.

Good job Bush!
