Where I guess I would differ with you is on the ground that politics is ultimately just nasty. It is what we make of it. If we make it nasty here it will be nasty here. We set the standard in our own backyard. The reason people get by with it now is the same reason they've always gotten by with it - because it is allowed to go on. Many here would scream like stuck pigs if the press Lied about Bush. Then they turn right around and do it to fellow republicans. I guess I just don't see any excuses for maltreatment or hypocrisy. I'm not perfect; but, at least I try. If we define restraint as not shooting one another, although it does sound humorous, it's not much of a commentary on who we are.

I find it very hard to believe she has a Master's degree. I have two and if I my spelling was bad as her's I would have none.

I don't see how she could possibly be a conservative. She was depending upon the government to help her instead of standing on her own two feet.

I am sorry your are losing your job. My son was out of work for about a year, but he did not blame the government, the President or Nafta.

It seems to me that if we argue that competition is fair in the US, then it is fair world wide. I have no intention in debating you on the subject, so I will not reply to any argument you make. I am simply making my view known.

I would have pressed the abuse button for her post myself.
