We have these jokers running scared for '06. The Dems are set to pick up plenty of State House and State Senate seats (breaking our current split in the legislature), and the US House races are looking good too. Our upcoming Gubernatorial race seem competitive at this point.
So what do they do? Old "Fibbin McKibben" (A name created by Congressman Boswell!) pulls out the tried-and-true blame and wedge. To be honest, it isn't the issue, but the timing that is so sickening. As our state leaders have pointed out, the R's had 12 years in control of our state and they didn't pass it then. Only when it's a convenient tool does it come up.
I love my state, but these jokers embarass me!
