***Did you really say this in reference to the GI Bill updates in the new Iraq occupation spending bill?

“Some of us oppose creating a new entitlement program in an emergency spending bill, whether it’s butchers, bakers or candlestick-makers”

If so you are the biggest creep I have ever seen. Why not quit calling yourself a Democrat and go ahead and be a Republican? You have given Bush a blank check so he could get his jollies from ordering the rape and murder of Iraqis, all based on LIES, since 2003, and now that something that actually benefits those fighting has been added to the HUNDREDS of BILLIONS already spent you don't want to do it.

I shall do my level best to let everyone know in our district what a vile scumbag you are.

"He outspent her. That is a fact. From the FEC reports, she paid out 22.7 Million, plus added 1.6 million to her debt load, so her total expendature is 24.3 million for march.

Obama paid out 30.6 Million with essentialy no change in debt load.

By the math he spent 25% more than she did. Wooo, he just drown her in spending didn't he.

Where the crap does this 3 times, 4 times crap come from?"

In a radio advertisement aimed at religious conservatives, the Clinton campaign is showcasing the President's signature on a bill banning gay marriages in spite of earlier White House complaints that the issue amounted to ''gay baiting.''

The advertisement also promotes President Clinton's work to protect religious freedom and says he wants ''a complete ban'' on late-term abortions ''except when the mother's life is in danger'' or when a woman ''faces severe health risks.''

It refers to Mr. Clinton's support of the Defense of Marriage Act, which the President signed into law last month, to the dismay of many gay rights advocates. Mr. Clinton signed the law early on a Saturday morning, minimizing news coverage. He said he had long agreed with the principles in the bill but hoped it would not be used to justify discrimination against homosexuals.

Clinton's 1993 NAFTA Meeting

"For people who worked hard to pass NAFTA and who support the importance of markets opening for the economy in the long term, they're very upset. A number of the women who were there are very upset. You need to have some integrity in your position. The Clintons when Bill Clinton was president took a moderate position on trade for Democrats. For her to repudiate that now seems pretty phony."

Recalls a second attendee, "they were looking for women in international trade who supported NAFTA. Senator Clinton came by at the end. And of course she asked for our support and help in passing NAFTA."

then all this shit about free markets goes out the window. That picking yourself up by your bootstraps and taking personal responsibility is for the suckers that actually work for a living.

*my educational background: I might as well roll my high school diploma up and smoke it for all the good it has done me.

Because I was jonesing for chocolate. I headed to the Easter candy section in search of Cadbury creme eggs...

And right beside the chocolate bunnies are crosses... crosses in your choice of white or milk chocolate!

I have never seen chocolate crosses before. Is this new, or have I been blissfully ignorant all these years? Because I have to say, even though I am atheist, I found edible crosses offensive and disturbing.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An accounting scandal at the Republican Party's House campaign organization has federal agents investigating what happened to hundreds of thousands of dollars and could affect several congressional campaigns, party officials said Thursday.

Christopher Ward, the National Republican Congressional Committee's longtime treasurer, was fired in January after committee officials learned that he had been making unauthorized fund transfers dating to 2004, said Rep. Tom Cole, the committee's chairman.

"Based on analysis conducted to date, it appears likely that over a period of several years Ward made several hundred thousand dollars in unauthorized transfers of NRCC funds to outside committees whose bank accounts he had access to, including joint fund-raising committees in which the NRCC participated," Cole said in a written statement.

"He also appears to have made subsequent transfers of several hundred thousand dollars in funds from those outside committees to what appear to be his personal and business bank accounts."

--Clinton opposes gay marriage but supports civil unions between members of the same sex. During her husband's administration, she supported the Defense of Marriage Act, a law preventing the federal recognition of same-sex marriage.

"Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage always has been, between a man and a woman." - Hillary Clinton, opposing same-sex marriages, quoted in The New York Daily News.---

CHICAGO - Democratic Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday blamed his primary defeats in Ohio and Texas on rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's criticism and news coverage that he argued benefited her at his expense.

The presidential candidate said he planned to do more in the days ahead to raise doubts about his opponent's claims to foreign policy and other Washington experience. In a television ad that her campaign credits with helping her win, she portrayed herself as most prepared to handle an international crisis.

"What exactly is this foreign policy experience?" Obama asked mockingly. "Was she negotiating treaties? Was she handling crises? The answer is no."

Obama needs to smack back, and smack back hard!

--- As the campaign faces a make-or-break moment, some high-level officials are trying to play down their role in the campaign. Penn said in an e-mail over the weekend that he had "no direct authority in the campaign," describing himself as merely "an outside message advisor with no campaign staff reporting to me."

"I have had no say or involvement in four key areas -- the financial budget and resource allocation, political or organizational sides. Those were the responsibility of Patti Solis Doyle, Harold Ickes and Mike Henry, and they met separately on all matters relating to those areas."---

Perhaps Hillary's internal don't look so good. This rat is jumping ship.
