I'm sorry, but............
Can we please get rid of the ad for T. Boone Pickens off the front page and the Discuss page, it makes me sick. He is out for one thing and one thing only to get his pockets lined with more money by using our tax payer dollars (government subsidies) in order to do it. He is corrupt and evil, period.

3. I've always liked the idea that causes we hate spend money on ads here.
Let them pay the whole nut every month. If Rush and Hannity want to pay DU to advertise, I like it. Move money away from them and to DU.

12. Pickens is interested in Pickens
He's a greedy, bet-welshing swiftboat enabler. Putting a picture of a wind farm in his ads doesn't change that.

15. Thanks for the info
But for some reason, my Vista doesn't like Mozilla, so I guess I am out of luck. But thanks anyway.

14. Many reasons
just click on Post #10's link for a start, and then see who he is trying to buy http://www.newsmeat.com/billionaire_political_donations/T_Boone_Pickens.php">this . Follow the money trail, then it might open your eyes.
