1. No speakers on this PC. What's Mayor Martin saying? (eom)

[sabra]

2. Attacking Bush's Budget

about cutting some vital programs. Also critizing giving tax cuts during a time of war.

3. Talking about Free Republic spreading rumors...and an aide fired.

I did not catch all that. He sounds like a fighter, and this is how to fight back.

He mentioned Free Republic spreading rumors about him, and the aide got fired. Was it the governor's aide? Erlich, or something like that.

4. Yea, it was an aid to erlich.

Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley today denounced rumors of infidelity, as his wife stood by his side and described how the rumors spread on the Internet by a longtime aide to Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. were having an effect on their young children.

5. That was terrible....excerpt from the article...

"Steffen discussed the rumors on FreeRepublic.com last summer. He posted them under the name NCPAC, a reference to one of his early employers, the National Conservative Political Action Committee.

O'Malley first accused the Ehrlich administration of spreading the rumors Tuesday after a news conference in Washington, where he likened the cuts in President Bush's budget proposal for urban areas to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, drawing fire from his fellow Democrats as well as Republicans."

6. Bush has certainly caused more deaths than the 9/11 hijackers

Bush** has caused more deaths than the 9/11 hijackers, and with him** continuing his assault against the poor and against women's rights, I don't think O'Malley's comments are off the mark. He** has already caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people, both our troops and innocent Iraqis.

People are fools if they think they can vote for **, support his endless wars, and that somehow down the line their own loved ones won't be involved in those wars, and probably die for the arrogant madness which is the Neo-con agenda.

(I'm still waiting for my Bush-loving friends to explain to me just how they can justify going to war with a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11, didn't pose a threat to us, while Saudi Arabia, which as we know spawned most of the hijackers and their leader, supports and condones terrorist activities and somehow merits USA friendship)

7. You have got to read the WP story on the O'Malley smear scandal.

These Republicans are the lowest of the low. Even after the aide admitted to spreading lies, Erlich has not issued an apology to O'Malley. All you Irish good people, where are you? You should be screaming in the streets. But alas, most of you are Republicans and voted for Bush and Erlich, I forgot.
