Like I said, I'm rusty on the subject. But, corruption isn't the point,

Well, to a degree it actually is.

When you are supposed to develop a working class euphoria and end up
being one of the "have all's" and everybody else is a "have not". I
really wouldn't say thats a good form of leading by example.

But true, I suppose we do have more than our share of bilkers.

No reading necessary.



It isn't going to be that difficult to defeat a Republican candidate who
wants a "forever" war, says he has no real understanding of economics,
and is the standard bearer of a political party that brought us the
current recession, ignored the looming housing crisis, did nothing to
even try to alleviate rising energy prices, is vehemently anti-science,
and wants to deport 12 million Latinos.

McCain is a decent man, and he is going to be slaughtered at the polls
this November.


Harry, go back to playing with JimH.
