Not Exactly the Founding Fathers Let's look at the Republicans' major accomplishments over the last five years or so: They impeached a sitting president whose only "crime" was trying to cover up an embarassing affair. They stole a presidential election by getting corrupt "Justices" on the Supreme Court to stop the counting of votes in Florida. They are trying to redistrict Texas to their favor even though the courts settled the districts for the current census. They are trying to change Senate voting rules because they feel aggrieved that only 98% of their extremist judicial candidates are getting confirmed. They tried to have Democratic congressmen arrested for employing legal stalling tactics in order to give theselves time to read a bill before voting on it. They are attempting to recall a duly elected governor less than a year since his election because the previous Republican governor deregulated the energy industry and big Republican donors such as Enron were able to bankrupt the state. Raise your hand if you think that the government that this administration will establish in Iraq will have even a passing resemblence to democracy. Didn't think so. 7:43:46 AM    comment []
