I think you're confused between paper-pushing and deciding
what gets written on the paper. In any event, I agree with
your above statement but it doesn't do a thing to prove (or
even indicate slightly) that the office help are the people
setting the agenda and formulating policy.





Your say-so doesn't mean much, and you have done very little (other than
call names) to prove your point.


Becoming a little sensitive, Doug?

Not at all. Just making a point.



You just hate-hate-hate the AARP because they didn't roll over for
Bush/Cheney's looting of Social Security, the way they did for every other
Bush/Cheney plan.


Not even close. They've been prejudicial toward my profession for years.
They've promoted a secular-progressive agenda, but have attempted to pass
themselves off as a non-partisan organization benefitting the elderly.

Non-partisan? Shucks in the last election they were panting
& drooling for President Bush. Maybe they weren't panting
hard enough IYHO?

I think it's kind of funny, all the groups that have helped
Bush eventually get savaged by Karl Rove. There's a lesson
here somewhere.
