4. Everyone should watch this video.
It's superlative in its message: the Republicans turn everything they touch into crap. Period. They've done nothing for America or Americans, they only serve themselves. :thumbsup:

The guy from Ohio is pretty sharp!

What a concise, direct, clear and total SLAP DOWN.

Go hie, thee, and watch...this is short and this is good.

12. Actually, he's not even old enough to be president yet
He's only 32. I would DEFINATELY keep my eye on this guy though. He's definately got potential for national office 10 years down the road.

11. "You can't consistently run down government and expect it to work"
Edited on Wed May-24-06 08:19 PM by DinahMoeHum
Sums it up nicely - this is what you get when you vote Republican.

And it's what I've said to friends and family for the longest time: you can't govern effectively if you don't believe in government to begin with.
