bubble"blow-ups", "bogus terrorist threats" and whatever else is on their
agenda! It has absolutely nothing to do with reporting or
journalism any more!
I'll just bet y'all a quarterhorse yearling and a wheel of Emmenthaler

A country that can put a man on the moon cannot impose
reasonable term-limits on it's politicians ??

" We have no REAL pres. candidate ! ! " wake-up people !!
Most politicians have the IQ and/or common-sense of a houseplant.
It's the people they surround themselves with and whose advise they
seek that give you a better picture.
I'm personally less afraid of the McCain camp !
All the BS aside: just ask yourself : Who should appoint the next
Supreme Court Justices ? and: What direction will this country
take then ?

(PS for all the undecided : YOU might make a point with your vote, but Paul or Nader will never appoint anybody to anything !!
