80. What do we get if we win? is an unbrilliant question

Edited on Sat Nov-13-04 01:39 PM by sangh0

We get the power to undo the Global Gag Rules

We get the power to nominate judges to the courts, including SCOTUS

We get the power to veto obnoxious right-wing bills.

We get the power to prevent war for oil

We get control of the Fed govts regulatory agencies.

A medal? Bragging rights?

Maybe, if we're not too busy using these powers to help the vulnerable, we'll take a minute and send you medal.

(You see, I can paint you as only caring about a medal as easily as you can paint others as caring only about winning. Maybe someday, we'll all realize that WE are not the enemy)
