I read an article about a lady who formed a group after her husband was killed in 911 and said they were trying to implement better laws to protect citizens. They went 4 days a week lobbying Congress. Anyway, she said their main focus is on getting re-elected and issues that might benefit them and they could care less about the rest of the country. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

In reply to: Hap 's message, "He said a mouthful in the first sentence. I think the reason they act on something like this so quick is because they don't worry about whether it will lose or gain vote. They probably figure it's a 50/50 split so they don't worry, just go ahead. Any other issues they don't give a crap if it's the right way or not, only weigh the odds of whether it wins more votes than it looses." on 15:45:17 09/27/06 Wed

It appears they ain't trying to hide that fact anymore. Once in my lifetime I wish I could vote for somebody. Up until now, all the votes I've cast weren't so much for a guy as it has been against the other guy. Can't remember one time it has been otherwise, although it is kinda fun getting a few guys worked up over their peice of crap candidate, as opposed to my piece of crap candidate.
