In 2002, George W. Bush signed the Help America Vote Act.

When a Bush tells you he’s going to “help” you vote - look out!

The result: in the 2004 presidential election, over three million votes - 3,006,080 - were cast and not counted. Like, what the !@#!?

FOUKE, Ark. - Federal authorities conducting a child-porn investigation raided the headquarters Saturday of a ministry run by a convicted tax evader once labeled by prosecutors as a polygamist who preys on girls and women.

Social workers interviewed children who live at the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries complex, which critics call a cult, to find out whether they were abused. The two-year investigation involves a law that prohibits the transportation of children across state lines for criminal activity, said Tom Browne, who runs the FBI office in Little Rock.

Public banter

Following is a comment too and my reply regarding the previous article re. Sarah Palin. Some items have been removed to protect the innocent (including the "comment" authors name. I haven't received his permission so being an old friend, I kept his name out of it.

I agree that McCain's superior choice of Sarah Palin "surpassed mere partisanship" seeing as how Gov. Palin was instrumental in putting her own party members out to pasture with $12,000 fines assesed against them.

She never tried to ban books. If she did, what books did she try to ban? The list of books being bantied about by the frightened class weren't even in print any more!

As to being against sex-ed, think about this: would you and your wife find it acceptable for your daughter's kindergarten teacher to encourage her to experiment with kissing other girls? Would it be acceptable for her first grade teacher to explain - and demonstrate - how to perform a Monica on her boy classmates?

As to the choice of Gov. Sarah Palin being a " a slap in the face to the accomplishments that our mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers so fiercely fought for, and that we've so demonstrably benefited from", I always thought that the women's lib movement was to allow every single woman the FREEDOM TO CHOOSE WHAT TO DO WITH HER LIFE! ??? So if Gov. Palin has made these choices, who the heck has the right to question them, especially the mothers and grandmothers who fought for Palin's right to make her own choices? OH... THAT'S right... the left wing libs don't want women to be independent and make their own minds up, they want women to toe the NOW femi-nazi line.

As to being "against gun control", it appears that she had perfect control of the gun when she shot that caribou.

As to the "separation of church and state": I will give you $100,000 if you can tell me where in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence - that phrase or the phrase "wall of separation of Church and state" is.

The problem with libs is they can't separate FACT from FICTION.

My Rebuttal
Some excellent points my old friend. Wow, I didn't think they started sex ed 'till at least jr. high. however, sex ed does not mean sexuality ed. While, assuredly, individual teachers may cross lines, shouldn't kids have a basic understanding of how their reproductive systems work. The "tell them nothing and hope nothing happens" approach we KNOW does not work, ergo the shotgun marriage of Sarah Palins youngest daughter (was that a cheap shot :-) If all parents did their jobs lots of things wouldn't be necessary in school and society, but lets face it they don't. I'm not proposing schools start teaching "morals" or "normalcy" or "sexuality" or anything else of the sort, just basic biology, which reproduction is a part of. I know I took that in school. I had Mr. M***** in high. Ms. D***** in Jr. High.
Personally, gun control is a non issue for me. Her shooting a Caribou is a selling point. She did have control (The libs spend way to much time on this one)
No book should be banned. Period. Regardless of whether it's in print or not. Although she is not the first, nor I'm sure the last to do so in this country with a supposedly free press. Lots of books and music have been banned at one point or another, The books and music are usually removed from a censure list later once the government "says it's O.K., a sad but true fact.
As for "toe the party line" the Republican party sure seems to send that message as well. Remember them attacking John McCains WAR RECORD eight years ago. That was obscene. Talk shit about a mans politics, that's fine. Don't fuck with a POW's war history. you just don't it. I don't care who you are. Show some respect. (Especially, since the candidate they were backing had such a dicey (read bullshit) military record) (The fact that he took the abuse and never said anything, McCain lost a lot of respect in my book. Had he left his party or at least called his party out on it, I'd be voting for him.)

Your saying the LIBS can't separate fact from fiction!! Please don't tell me you think the Repubs. can? The list of lies and distortions is to long to list, (see this blog) but as Sen. Bob Graham noted in his book; 11 Impeachable offenses in his (Pres. Bushs') first term, including lieing about national security issues, weapons of mass destruction, etc.. Meanwhile, the Repub. House and Senate did FUCK ALL. But ten years ago we the people couldn't stop hearing about and paying for an investigation about something that at the end of the day was an incident that happened between consenting adults and behind closed doors. (Regardless of how tasteless and white trash it was :-)

As for the separation of church and state:
never heard the "wall" part but
The 1st amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."


The problem with Republicans is they practice "do as I say and not as I do" and are convinced peoples memories are only about a month long. They claim all the old school republican values (which I'm a fan of) but don't deliver them. In fact they systematically remove them.


small, non-sequentially numbered bills please :-)
