There would be no need to compromise if we were just as ruthless as the Dems. We should start having dogs and dead people vote Republican, distorting the oppositions personal history, in general doing everything we can get away with to win.

US to Back Out of World Court Plan Envoy: Bush team may 'unsign' treaty

by Elizabeth A. Neuffer

UNITED NATIONS - The Bush administration will not take part in the International Criminal Court scheduled to be ratified next month and is considering removing its signature from the treaty that created it, a top war crimes envoy said yesterday.

''The US is not and will not be part of the ICC,'' said Pierre Prosper, the State Department's ambassador at large for war crimes issues, told reporters in New York.
