I could start by saying, it's been a long time coming. But finally it seems that the United States has an intelligent, caring, honest and personable Senator, who really does care about, what some call "LIBERAL IDEALS", but what I call "Society": and not about GNP value or interest rates. It's all interactive, humane side of social service and the production levels and global concerns of our American Ingenunity. So I am over joyed to see Mrs. Clinton make her way to the D.C. and into the familiar White House. So America are you ready to vote for a President who can and will make changes that are in favor of us, Americans? Are you ready to vote Mrs. Hillary Clinton into the White House?

The president has a right to grant pardons.
Draft dodgers did something illegal but were pardoned by Carter.
How are illegal immigrants and draft dodgers any different in the eyes of the law?
Congress wants a pardon, you might say, so that illegal immigrants become legal migrants. The surfacing of the underground economy could potentially generate billions and postpone the demise of social services.

"I feel liberated. ... I no longer am gonna have to carry the water for people who I think don't deserve having their water carried. ... If those in our party who are going to carry the day in the future both in Congress and the administration are going to choose a different path than what most of us believe, then that's liberating. ...

"There have been a bunch of things going on in Congress. Some of this legislation coming out of there that I have just cringed at. And it has been difficult coming in here trying to make the case for it when the people who supposedly in favor of it can't even make the case themselves."

so what he's saying basically is he lied and covered up for those in power. Those of you who are Rush fans, how does it make you feel to know this guy trumped up people only becuase they more closely supported his platform even if they were not worthy of it.

And you Liberals should be shouting this from the top of rooftops.

World reaction: Democratic win welcomed
The seismic shift that midterm elections brought to Washington's political landscape was welcomed by many Wednesday in a world sharply opposed to the war in Iraq & outraged over the harsh methods the Bush administration has employed in fighting terrorism.

From Paris to Pakistan, politicians, analysts & ordinary citizens said they hoped the Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives would force President Bush to adopt a more conciliatory approach to the globe's laundry list of crises, and teach a president many see as a "cowboy" a lesson in humility.

Are the Republicans eating crow tonite with Bush?

when he fights for our country in that coliseum of world dictators and criminals otherwise known as the UN?

Does it disturb your sensibilities that he places America's interests above all others?

Would you rather our UN Ambassador bow to world "leaders" that deny the existence of terrorism?

Dow reaches new high on election results!!!

Wall Street rose for a third straight session Wednesday, with the Dow Jones industrials reaching another record close as investors grew more confident that a huge victory by Democrats in congressional elections would result in gridlock and keep lawmakers out of the way of business interests.

Why did the Republicans cry...
everything will go to "heck " Nov. 8th
if the Democrats win?

Iran and North Korea - they have the right to develop and use nuclear technology for civil nuclear power. This is easily verifiable by IAEA inspections. As soon as such inspections are resisted or refused, the clear conclusion must be that they are developing the technology further for weapons purposes. Yes?

According to the magazine "The Week" page 6, "Only in America, A federal jury has awarded $24.2 million to two men who were burned by a power cable while illegally climbing on top of an Amtrak train." ...."both 17 at the time of the 2002 accident, argued in their suit that Amtrak should have posted signs warning passengers that locomotives were powered by electricity and were not safe to climb." ...."the young men's lawyer, conceded that it would have been their fault if they had fallen off the train--but that Amtrak should be held responsible for the "unannounced, unwrapped, unmonitored" 12,500-volt power cable on top of the train." It seems to me that this lawsuit should have never been filed in the first place. I also believe these individuals should never have been granted such an exuberant amount of money for their own negligence. If you would have been a panelist on this jury, what would your verdict have been?
