Social Security battle...how goes it George
I think hold on to your seats this may be the first time George Bush does not get his way. I wonder how much longer he'll keep trying to hype this losing issue before giving it up. It seems to be fading.

2. Two weeks ago I wanted to know how many of the 60 cities he
would actually make it to. He's made it a bit further than I thought. Hopefully the end is near and someone reports it.

ANWR
another 82 billion for illegal war
bankruptcy "reform"
budget for billionaires etc, etc etc

7. All they have to do is wait until Nov. 2006 when they get 60+ Republican
Senators, which they no doubt will do since they OWN all the voting apparatus. Just think, they have done nightmarish damage to the country to this very day and they will have 2 MORE YEARS after 2006 to do even more so much easier with complete and total control of the House and Senate and Judiciary.

There is no doubt in my mind that they haven't even begun to destroy every democratic, liberal ideal left in this country. A hard right winger that had plagued one of my favorite message boards until we couldn't take him anymore, just posted something on another board saying that liberals are about to be piled onto the "ash heap" of history. Now I wonder what he meant by "ash heap"?

In November of 2006, we will know with no uncertainty that we now live in a true dictatorship.

And what in the hell can we do about it?

9. I have to believe, what goes around comes around.
I hope the bushbots will be waking up soon to how much they've been duped.

8. I thought he had given up? My gosh he cannot make up his mind.
I still say that George wants to quit and be in Washington but Karl Rove cannot stand him there... George just gets in the way and actually believes he makes decision.

I'm not so sure that the big bitchy wealthy matron is a popular icon amongst the grey haired set. In my experience they are just put up with but not admired.
