CFR may be a plus for the Republicans even though a loss for the constitution.

The problem with CFR is that democrats actually believe their lies. Even Barnes believes that super rich people are Republicans and only some super rich are Democrats. That is what he says in his article. He implies that corporations are run by republicans. That also is not true.

Lets start with the high tech. Bill Gates is a Democrat. The president of Oracle is a Democrat. The president of Sun is a Democrat. The reason for the MS case in court was Democrat doners got Clinton to go after Demcorat Gates who was not a big doner Democrats.

Ok that is high tech. How about old TEch. Well the President and Chairman of Ford Motors is a Democrat as was his father. Ok That is the auto industy. The president of GE is a democrat. This is the largest Old tech there is. How about wall street. Well the President of Merril Lynch is a Democrat. Do Brokerage firms come bigger than Merril Lynch? How about old money.... Has anybody checked out those folks who are as rich as Rockefeller because they ARE Rockefellers? Right. They are Democrats. How about old railroad money like the Vanderbuilts... Democrats one and all.

Surely the media is not run by democrats. We all know how biased it is to Repblicans ... don't we? NBC is owned by a littel firm Called G.E. Run by a democrat don'tcha know. And CBS? Need I ask. ABC by Disney? Not even a Republican in site.

I won't mention the other media, corporate and investor giants except that poor boy Buffet is a Democrat.

The big money people are nearly all Democrats. Only a handful of huge corporations are in the hands of Republicans.

Democrats are about regulating to the extent that the status becomes the only Quo. That suits big business to a T.

Did I mention that K-mart and its Kressge family have been leftist since Marx was a boy?

The people who work in the media and many Democrats that hold office still believe that by punishing the Rich and by punishing Corporations they are punishing Republicans. That is just no longer true.

Barnes is an idiot media weenie who has never so much as walked a precinct. Real numbers, taken from today's NRO's "The Corner":

Over the last 10 years the Dems have gotten about 36% of their funds in soft money, the Rs about 27%. In 99-00, the Dems raised $245 million soft, about 47% of their total, and the Rs $249 million, about 37% of the total. However, through last June (end of year numbers will be out shortly) both parties raised about 54% in soft money, but the Rs raised $66 million and the Ds just $38 million. I suspect that was one reason why some of the Dems defected from Ney-Wynn over to Shays-Meehan.

So, as usual, Barnes is just plain wrong. That doesn't even take into account all the other Byzantine changes added at the last minute to satisfy Gephardt.

And the court just might not overturn this thing. Read it and weep: Courting Disaster

Even Barnes believes that super rich people are Republicans and only some super rich are Democrats. That is what he says in his article. He implies that corporations are run by republicans. That also is not true.

I dont know thats necessarily true. He pointed to Main street (thats retail business owners, small business), professionals, and the wealthy. I get pissed when Democrats acuse the Republicans of being in bed with big business when they identify more with small business and with main street. Its the Democrats who find their soul mates at the head of large corporations.
