Oh, yes.  Faux news.  Now there's a "fair and balanced" source.
Hahahahahaha.

Like the way the Swift Boat Liars "discredited" Kerry?

After Bill Clinton's frolicking nothing is an embarassment to the
Democratic Party.

Feel free to believe that.

All kidding aside, I'm independant.  While I'm not overly fond of any
of them, I think Hillary is the most electable Democratic candidate
and will probably be the next president.  I sort of suspect Obama
would be a better president but there are too many racists in both
parties for him to win.

It seems we don't know the same folks.

You assume that and it probably makes you feel better about
supporting politicians who deny health care to Americans.  Of course,
you're wrong but that's never been an issue in ASA.

Talk to me when someone you care about is in need.  Then we'll see if
you hold the same beliefs.

Actually, in many ways it is, but no one is advocating socialism.  I
believe the health care *business* is out of hand in this country.

I was being facetious.
