QUOTE OF THE DAY: Government cannot love a child, but it can support those who do -- parents and family members and neighbors, and caring adults who have heard the call.

I worked for a labor union and could never understand their blind support for the dems, who never really did anything to benefit working people.
Working people are just that: workers and they pay taxes and most of them are pretty good people. The dem policies are not job-friendly to labor union members. Maybe Dubya can make them realize that and take away some votes from the dems.
I've been working all day so I'm not up on the news. Everyone is talking about AA and Enron, nothing about Bush though. Of course, I work in the accounting industry so AA is on everyone's minds. No one thinks of it as a political story, however. Go W! Get that union vote. Hee hee. The poor Dems don't have a clue.
That's Sen. Mike DeWine, R, OHIO, to President Bush's right in the kid photos. We've been invited to lots of social functions/fundraisers for him. You think if I go to one, he'd introduce me to his cute friend?!! hehehe
Does anyone know if this bill President Bush is signing has the mentoring programs that he wanted, and mentoring for kids with a parent in jail?
"In January 1973 he went to work for the Professional United Leadership League (PULL) an inner-city youth program in Houston...George W. took naturally to this job. He was good at fund-raising, and he had many connections... He loved working with kids, and he loved being around professional athletes. Also, he felt for these boys, growing up in neighborhoods where life was a constant struggle against crime and poverty. He was eager to make a difference in their lives."
All of the underlined words are synonyms for spending. What does the government spend? Tax dollars. Where does it get the tax dollars? From you and me.
Every dollar the government spends on government bureaucrats who use "at-risk" (whatever that means) children as the excuse for their jobs is a dollar that the individual taxpayers cannot spend on their own children. Every dollar that is spent on bureaucrats' salaries in these programs is a dollar that was taken at gunpoint from some taxpayer who worked hard to earn it, and who was not asked if he thought that supporting some liberal Republican tax and spend program "for the children" was how he would have spent his money. Sorry if I can't get too entheusiastic about Bush spending my money as opposed to Clinton spending my money.

Yes, what this means is government will rob responsible parents and family members and squander the fruits of their labors on some program that will not make the slightest bit of difference in salvaging budding criminals and future welfare recipients, but will provide more government jobs and people who are dependent on the government for their livlihood. How about getting rid of the crushing tax burden that the most productive Americans bear. How about getting rid of the AMT? How about getting rid of the capital gains tax? Ugg, blind Bush worship isn't a whole lot better than blind Clinton worship.
Waiting for the mindless flaming that this is sure to bring.
