It's a shame that the democrats offer no real platform of their own or
offer any viable alternatives to the path we're currently on. Their only
campaign issue is throwing mud at Bush. It's sad, truly sad.

Don't be so sad, Dave.

There's a new "campaign" issue for the Democrats just coming to light
today.

I wish I lived in the home state of the brave
Republican who just fessed up that he was offered $100,000 in campaign
financing if he would drop his opposition to Bush's Medicare reform bill
and
vote "yes" rather than "no". I'd vote for a guy with that kind of
integrity in
a heart beat.

Apparently this guy is about to retire, and his son is going to run for
his
seat. The $100k was to be given to the son's campaign.

I like the new Medicare bill. I'm glad my campaign contributions are being
used for something worthwhile.

Situational ethics.

Suppose the bribe was to influence a vote to liberalize homosexual marriage or
abortion? Would you still think it was OK?

Hell no. If my money is being used for bribes, I want to make damn sure the
"bribees" are voting my way.

Hard to argue with such candor. :-)
