People being pushed to the edge in some cases, yet that does not motivate the Congress. But being inconvenienced at the airport (as if they were regular people) well, thats just not acceptable.

to see what the regular person did for a job and know what it entailed.
Did it hundreds of time.

But then again,in 2004 he was too old,ugly,boring for the VP and the fraud that never worked hard a day in his life became VP

sometimes things become transparent , sometimes they are from day one
which is why I truly love Bob Graham and wanted him for anything he was offered and everything he wasn't. And still do.
One of the true populists in the world. (Ironic in that some thought the person who got that job in 04 was a populist which was the furtherst thing from truth most ever knew.)

imho.
just one example.

raise some taxes in order to pay for the extra ATC's. I bet they would have rather that wait in the airports. We missed an opportunity! No?

With the district gerrymandering that has occurred in many of the states in the Union, I'm not sure what can be done to regain a Democratic majority in the House of Reps. The best I think we can hope for is a major schism to occur within the Republican party as the extreme fringe attempts to usurp more and more control from the "saner" elements of the party (yes, I believe that they are some sane republicans out there).
