Kat, this little crisis is an obvious contrivance of an increasingly desperate Democrat Party. The President is doing remarkably well. He has the support ... not just in his war prosecution but overall in his duties .... of a vast majority of the American people. Including, for the first time, African Americans.

This little drama has been staged to sucker the Bush Administration, and their federal Marshals, into a camera ready scenario where Minorities of color - on an otherwise irrelevant civil rights commission - get huge coverage as they are forcibly ejected in a 1950's era Jim Crow banishment. What transparent, evil crap. That's the way they play. Bush is too smart to bite on this ... he'll address this through the courts, Berry and her race baiters will lose SLOOOWLY, and throughout the process the Commission will be completely paralyzed. A perfect outcome. Nice try McAullife, you cockroach. Corporations all. Started and operated by the "rich".

The Democrats will do ANYTHING to smear Bush and create the animus needed among their constitutency groups to hold the Senate and take the House next November. ANYTHING. But it isn't working. Everyone who has unfortunately joined the jobless ranks over the past year don't buy the anti-corporation, anti-rich class warfare spewed by Daschele and his dwarves ... these folks WERE employed by corporations, they KNOW why they are unemployed, and they realize that their personal net worths began a freefall a year or more before Bush took office. They are waiting for High-Tech to begin growing and hiring again, and they will support any plan to free up these firms to expand their operations. They're being covered by COBRA or an employed spouse's health plan. They don't see a future on the government dole, and Daschele and Gephardt do not talk to them with their divisive bile. They WANT to be rehired by Nortel, GE, AT&T, UAL, Lucent, Worldcom, Motorola ... etc. etc. etc.

The lazy idiots, career cronies and professional identity victims among us will always be Democrats. "Eff" 'em. The GOP has only one major vulnerability going into the 2002 elections: Bush needs to craft a bully pulpit plan to pre-emptively block the Democrats' last best gambit .... fear mongering, beyond all shame, any reform of the Social Security system. The Democrats want to fraudulently scare our elderly grandparents, parents and the most vulnerable among us. It's time to wage war against the political terrorism of American liberals.

You are absolutely correct in that Ms. Berry was attempting to create a photo-op scandal for the democrats. She even dared them to send in federal marshals. Interestingly, Ms. Clinton is scheduled to be on "Meet the Press" this Sunday.

They probably thought there would be a big flap-doodle and they could play the noble oppressed people for the cameras, which I am CERTAIN were ready and waiting. But as you said, the President and his people are too smart to take the bait.

We will be totally vindicated if Ms. Clinton cancels her Sunday appearance. Ha!

You are talking to me in language I understand. I am studying for my CCIE lab exam in February with the hope that I will be hired back into the computer networking field when the economy recovers. We are paying out of pocket for coverage through my wife's employer while she is on extended maternity leave. There must be a lot of us out there in roughly the same boat.

I agree! They really NEED an issue, don't they? After all, their little ambush of Ashcroft this week didn't quite turn out like they thought it would.

I think OUR issue should be to make a list of ALL of the legislation that ONE MAN, Little Tommy Daschle, has bottled up in the Senate; one man is stopping the economy and oil drilling, plus a LOT of other stuff. I wish I had made of list of every piece of legislation he has said "we won't be able to get to that until next year" about!
