Another example of why letting the Democrats ever again controll any portion of the Federal Goverment is insanely risky. The notion that once in they would easily be routed out of power again is nonsense.

Secret plan alleged on campaign financing Sacramento Bee ^ | 9/19/6 | Jim Sanders

A California Nurses Association publication indicates the group is pushing the Proposition 89 campaign-finance measure as a Trojan horse to get what it covets most: universal health care, opponents said Monday.
Allan Zaremberg, president of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the strategy basically was spelled out in a document that appeared on the nurses association Web site.
"They have a two-step process here," he said. "One is to eliminate the ability of business to communicate with the voters. The second step is to have government-run health care on the next ballot ... and deny voters the ability to hear the other side."
Proposition 89 would allow public financing of campaigns for state offices, an overhaul touted as a way to discourage undue influence by well-heeled special interests.
The measure, crafted by the CNA, is on the Nov. 7 ballot.
Chuck Idelson, spokesman for both the CNA and the Yes on Proposition 89 campaign, said the nurses group has supported universal health care for many years but that the campaign-finance initiative is not specifically linked to that goal.
Universal health care is a bitterly controversial concept to replace California's system of private health insurance with a state-run system to provide medical care to every resident.

Ditto.
Thailand is more than 90% Buddhist. 95% of the Muslims are in the six Southern provinces adjacent to Muslim Malaysia who somewhat resent being a part of the Thai central government (although they have been so for more than 200 years)...Jamal Islamiya and several Al Qaeda groups are quite powerful down there, however...Thaksin has been trying to crack down on the rebels but some of the Army Muslims have been sabotaging the deal. Now apparently, unable to win at the polls, they are are trying to use the military. Whether the King, who has considerable political power, will permit this is unknown.
In Iran's eye!

I can agree with that. But the President is on an entirely dufferent level than I am. He is playing an angle

It's obvious that he and his rich wifey are brain dead.
Straightforward exposition of his position; no BS.

The defense is awesome. Unfortunately our quarterback often is brain-dead like John Kerry...or color-blind. I'm holding my breath against the Colts, although we did beat them last year...
This is a brilliant, passionate and sure-to-PO-libs speech!
Pita Bread.
With getting near 10% of the population, and concentrated in one area, this sounds like the tipping point for moslem attempt at take-over.
