how many breaks do they get?
Twelve years of Reagan and Bush the Elder wrought eight tepid years of Clintonian triangulation. We got 10 yards back, maybe, to their 90.

Six years of Bush the Dipshit has wrought a minimum wage increase that we had to drop into a war funding bill. Maybe we'll get five yards for their 90 this time and call it victory again.

1. Maybe its time WE started asking for benchmarks
And if they don't meet 'em, no votes and no money.

2. How many?
No more. I'm through giving breaks.

In other words, I'm re-registering as an Indy tomorrow.

The honeymoon is over.

3. don't forget to let them know why.
Otherwise, you become even less of a factor than we both already are.

4. ya get what ya vote for...
...why do you expect democrats to take the heat for this republican war?

Bush loves the military and they love him, their 'Germany is a Xtian nation now' fuhrer.

Let them fight, they love to kill people, and hate and pocket the $$$ and suck up the oil.

They're happy, so why bother?

it's a perfect little scam Bush has pulled, republicans have only themselves to blame, and it's dishonest to blame democrats for it.

Jesus loves ya, keep on killin'

and Exxon thanks you for your support
