1. If it's suddenly so important to them, why are they attaching it to

a controversal bill? One of our House Bushbots is suddenly touting the meth bill, too, although he just voted against it earlier this session.

Hmmmm.

This meth bill is important and should stand on its own.

I think they knew this would get bi-partisan support so they are USING it to get something less popular passed. Could it be the Patriot Act?

4. It's probably been said before...

5. it is very often a precursor to extreme antisocial behavior...

...many serial killers get their start torturing helpless animals.
...does Frist also start fires? Arson as a teen is another precursor.
...oh, and does Frist wet the bed? Because that's yet another precursor.
....if you get all three in one individual, you got trouble.

6. Anyone who "adopts" cats under false impressions

then experiments on them and kills them aren't really wholesome beings.

7. All this bill will do is create a new category of criminal

"sudafed consolidator"

Pay 10,20, or 50 derelicts a nominal fee to pick up their legal allotment, and you're in business.

8. Quelle surprise. You�re in ID country. No wonder here.

Edited on Fri Dec-16-05 01:11 AM by countmyvote4real

Of course he would sign his name to that bogus argument, but his handlers are playing to the stage that best represents his supporters. It�s really sad. It kind of gives a whole new meaning to �We�re not in Kansas anymore." WTF has happened there anyway?

Meth or any mind-altering addiction is a caution. I have to wonder why Frist appears to care.

9. read the fine print

It's about the meth problem in MISSOURI. Talent is a senator in MISSOURI.

Missouri has the worst meth problem in the country.

So you can't dig on Kansas for this one.
