Music to my ears!
I was fortunate enough to have a brief conversation with Senator Craig about this subject last month, and this is not a man with any illusions. He understands the nature of the opposition, and isn't the least bit afraid of them.
Go get em, Larry!
I wish they would clue us in on what that "POINT" is suppose to be! That is besides trying to trash a decent man's reputation.
BTW, Ralph Neas and his cronies are a SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP.
How Ralph Neas Almost Made Me A Republican Tonight He's One Scared Member Of The Liberal Bourgoisie -- And I Like To See Fear In The Liberal Bourgeoisie

Washington, DC -- I had dinner tonight with Ralph Neas, and I can say that the man so opposes the Republicans that he almost made them sound good enough for me to join. For those who don't know, Ralph Neas is a former Rockefeller Republican -- an actual aide to one of the Rockefellers, if I recall what he told me correctly -- who is now a Democrat and buddy buddy with such folk as Teddy Kennedy. He heads a group called "People for the American Way" -- a group which cares about as much about the American Way as organized Judaism does about humanity -- and he has been leading the battle to drum up opposition to George Bush's plan to stack all the major judgeships with his nominees, overturn Roev. Wade, institute a new "state's rights", and cut taxes to boot. In fact, Mr Neas makes Mr Bush sound so far right wing that I would almost consider voting for him.
Now this wasn't a large dinner -- there were about nine or ten people there -- and I could have given Neas a hard time, but the things he said about what George Bush is planning were so good, I almost couldn't generate a question for him. Plus a lot of the discussion centered around the strategy Mr Neas has been form, with Senator Kennedy and others, to derail the Estevez nomination (almost certainly the next Supreme Court nomination), and was interesting enough that I thought it better to just listen and observe than to distract the conversation into actual argument.
Mr Neas discussed in detail the Federalist Society, and said that he believes the advisors behind George Bush have put together a plan to repeal every major Supreme Court decision since Roosevelt took us off the gold standard, to reinstitute "state's rights", to eliminate federal social programs, to overturn abortion, to end "civil rights", to reinterpret the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, and to eliminate or nearly eliminate federal taxation. He believes Bush's advisors have developed a plan to slowly starve the federal government of money until it could no longer even potentially afford to implement things like Social Security, even if it would want to in a future administration. He was persuasively scared, and I loved it.
He kept saying that America needs a national debate on this. He told about how both the Washington Post and the New York Times had repeatedly refused to print his opinion columns bringing these things together -- and it was with that line that I was forced back from the happy picture of reality he had painted to the cold hard truth, which is that George Bush is a pawn of international Judaism and international Capitalism, and that the Jewish owned media and the capitalist exploiters will keep him in power and let him reshape society as long as he acts as their servants on issues such as Israel and imperialist war.
