2. Grover Norquist is running THAT operation from afar...
Though K Street is not THAT far...his idea (implemented with as much haste as possible by Dub & Co.) is to get rid of the government's money, so that one can, in turn, get rid of the government's PROGRAMS (Defense excluded, of course!:eyes: ). Norquist wants to turn the clock back not just to before FDR, as Ronnie Reagan's people advocated, but before T.R.--the McKinley Era! :mad:

These idiots will wreck our country if they're not stopped in their tracks...and our candidates have GOT to make that case next year! x(

3. It's no secret...
...that the Bush administration's sole reason for being is to push the American people so far into debt that only the wealthiest few will remain afloat.

4. pushing the country into chapter 11
so "they" can then snap then it up at fire-sale prices.

Seems pretty clear to me.

Thanks for posting!
