6. The Taft- Hartley Act
Edited on Sat Apr-21-07 08:53 PM by camero
The Patriot and others would crumple like a sack of loincloths after that. Taking away the option of a company hiring replacement workers would have a dramatic effect on the workplace and political landscape.

Edited on Sat Apr-21-07 09:15 PM by AZBlue
And all his actions to harm the elderly, the poor and the sick.

12. I second the
No Child Left Behind...it's doing more harm then good - do you think it was the Chimp's plan all along? Putting kids in the public school systems in such a sorry state that they would feel compelled to enlist?

18. i know it sounds trite but...
...everything. i consider this adminitration to be illegitimate. in any and every way possible, its actions must be wiped off the books, overturned, repealed, whatever. we should impeach scalia and thomas for their failure to recuse themselves in bush v gore and find a way to get around roberts and alito, based on bush's illegitimacy. we should remove every single bush appointee. furthermore, we should reopen the sec case on bush's sale of harken stocks. i want a cabinet level position and a special prosector or three devoted to undoing and prosecuting bush's actions. i want a thorough 9/11 investigation.
