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.

I've tried to stay out of this but you just crossed the line.
The taking of innocent life is wrong no matter how it's done.
Right now I think the abortionists have killed millions more than terrorists if you care to keep count.
And I don't think for a nanosecond Rudy will be appointing any judges to stop the slaughter.
Why does that make me very uneasy?
Abortion is an abomination to God. And we need His favor over our nation or we are in danger no matter what defenses we have.
Ps:127:1: Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
It is totally scary, and unacceptable to have political hacks on the SCOTUS..with it's lifetime tenure.
We have already seen with Kelo, Hamdan, and the sodomy case in Texas ....that when the SCOTUS is WRONG, it can cause very bad things to happen...because we can't trust the Congress to make their BAD decisions, right.
LOL, OK you got me on that one, Mr. Picker of Nits! :)
OH Yeah! Santorum for Majority Leader!
Many but not all.
Pat B. wants Bush impeached over the border thing.
I don't like W's reasoning on the border, but IMPEACH him for it??? NO!!!
True.
Sorry Leftists, that "distracted" lie will not work to save your clown Clinton.
That was my first thought when I heard that flimsy excuse.
Two questions I ask myself about democratic explanations are 1) In what direction does their finger point? 2) Where will money go?.
It was a report on Brit Hume's show last night by Jim Angle...I will see if I can find a "written down" version.
That's it in a nutshell. Place any of the social issues in that sentence..it'd still be bottom line.
We've got to get the federal government out of some of these issues anyway, they belong to the States.
Now you're talking...
I'm not saying the democrat strategy works! I see through them 99.9 % of the time. Hope you didn't think I was defending klintoon?
Just because I want to be clear, I am pro-life at both ends of the debate. I oppose Capital punishment as well. Flame away. My point is that the ongoing threat of terror and the islamofacists, has now changed forever the status of social issues, because if you have no security you will have no social issues.
I hear you loud and clear!
No I am just busy trying to spread the obvious rejoinder to the current Democrat talking point. Your post merely gave me the opportunity. I see this the "Republicans distracted him" lie all over the Internet so it is clearly a organized PR effort by the DNC Noise machine.
It makes you uneasy because Dick Lugar is limp, uh, weak.
