You are acting on the presupposition that the Democrats will obey the law. The Republicans will mostly obey the law. The Democrats will mostly BREAK it. Get a CLUE !!

Bush is our first Mexican president although he cant speak Spanish though he thinks he does. Kinda like Peggy Hill in King of the Hill. Al Gore, no way in my book, no how, not never. But folks need to stop deifying Bush, take a look at what he did as gov in Texas, for he's following suit, domestically speaking.
I know what you mean about the suit -- wait till they get us for writing this stuff while we're at war, we're just so evil, doncha know. -g-

What would really make no sense would be to help finance a bunch of politicians
that just voted to lock us out of the political process 60 days before an election.
Now THAT would be crazy.

That's a lot more creative than my technique...I just file them in the circular. I use to do the same with my fathers blessings. But by sending their trash back with a little acknowledgment quelled my personal anger. It worked like a charm (for me).

Well, I'm with you on the chicken soup therapy. This CFR thing has me sick, as well.
It's gonna take more than a nastygram to congress to "quell my anger", I'm afraid...like maybe a big fat VETO!
I am really steamed at the idiots in the House for passing this abomination.
This bill should never even have gotten out of the House, let alone to the Presidents desk.

But folks need to stop deifying Bush...You just summed it up. Thank you.

I see quite a bit of demonizing Bush but no one is deifying him. Just calling it as I see it ... check out some of the comments being made on those Bush-photo-of-the-day threads. And the excuse-making for some of the cruddy stuff, that amnesty deal for one thing, well ...
Just moved to Mississippi 14 months ago, have yet to have an opportunity to vote for public office. My husband is sorely disappointed in Lott -- knows first-hand just what kind of go-getter, stiff-spine man he was when Lott was in the House. Getting that Whip/Leader post in the Senate has taken all the stuffing out of the guy.

I like your style, Mama!

But what is apparent is that these congress crooks have not advanced into the computer age. We can all do our communications about these guys and guyettes through our computers the second things happen.

And the excuse-making for some of the cruddy stuff, that amnesty deal for one thing, well ... What you interpret as "excuse making" may just be people that actually read the bills being proposed and hyperventilated over and find out that the hysterics are just a bit overblown. Then when they try to bring the noise level down a notch they are accused of "making excuses". I know that "righteous indignation" is an Olympic sport around here but it is almost always based on half-truths, downright lies and hidden agendas.

M'pleasure. Signing off now -- save me some of that soup, okee-dokee??

Let's see, the republicans hold the White House, the house of representatives by 6 votes. The democrats hold the senate by 1 vote. The republicans can't do anything but implement the democrat agenda. Am I missing something here?.

We must exchange chicken soup recipes. I use what is available which means I use a lot of tropical vegies in the soup that are not popular in the states although are found more and more in the supermarkets in the U.S.

Do you really believe that the democrats will abide by the law?
Or for that matter the media will be neutral?

No, having the information in his fbi file entered into hillary, bill's, and the dnc computer base is what took all the "stuffing" out of the guy.

Every time I see the Republicans cave on something, I see Bill Clinton looking through FBI files.

Do you really believe that the democrats will abide by the law? Or for that matter the media will be neutral? Using that logic, there should be no laws against anything because people will break them anyway. My point is that overall, at least the way I read this bill, it places more restrictions on the democrats cash cows than it does on the GOP cash cows. It also goes a long way in limiting the national parties' domination over state parties such as happened with California. Yes, there will be violations and probably by both sides but with the exception of the clearly unconstitutional 60 day ban on ads, I don't see much problem with this. It is also telling that the language in the bill clearly anticipates an immediate court challenge.
