| Democrats Are Hocking Their Agenda As If They Were at a Fire Sale
Just over a week ago, about a thousand activists from the Christian right gathered in Washington to pass verdict on the Republican presidential candidates. At the Family Research Council's Values Voters summit, the values most cherished did not sit well with most Americans. Polls show that a consistent and substantial majority in the US are pro-choice, supports stem cell research and opposes amending the constitution to ban gay marriage.

I want to ask why you like to be misled for 4 or eight more years. I remember "slick willy" being asked what he was going to do about a 60 Billion Trade deficit we had. The Press kept asking and asking and one day Pres Clinton said he paid and balanced the 60 Billion deficit and had a 20 Billion surplus ! The Press asked HOW HE DID THIS. ? He evaded this question for days then weeks when it was later discovered Pres Clinton BORROWED THE 80 Billion from the Social Security account and yes THIS NEVER WAS REPAID HOWEVER WE WERE LATER TOLD SOC. SEC. WAS GETTING IN TROUBLE AND COULD BE OUT OF FUNDS (as little as the checks are for people who worked and contributed to Soc. Sec for 45 years) If You Had an Intellect on your side you would be well advised to cast your vote to the person that says HOW TO FIX WHAT IS WRONG AND NOT FOLLOW LIKE SHEEP TO THE SAME WATER HOLE ALL ABOUT TALKING ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG.
