PING

[AntiKev]

I've got a five-spot that says the lamestream press won't even touch this.

[ClintonBeGone]

He was also Gore's campaign chimp. I don't think any questions his democrat bona fides.

[TheEaglehasLanded]

It's like Illinois, the combine continues. Bush has done the same, Tenet holdover causing him heartburn.

[nwrep]

Kerry's next.

[the invisib1e hand]

WHY ARE FREEPERS WASTING TIME BASHING DEAN. C'MON ALREADY THE GUY IS DEAD...PLEASE FOCUS ON KERRY. JEEZ

who's bashing? this looks like the posting of an interesting fact.

besides, they all spring from the same roots, don't they?

[VaBthang4]

Why'd they stop giving?

[VaBthang4]

I agree.

[nwrep]

CFR

[VaBthang4]

Council on Foreign Relations?

[CommandoFrank]

My first thought is that this guy is a political prostitute...

[Torie]

The relevance of this to anything is close to the null set.

[staytrue]

The relevance is that the dems are not about helping the poor, but about dollars and power for themselves.

Their goal:"achieve power at any cost, then use that power to take from the producing class and enrich themselves."

8 years of Clinton should have made that obvious to everyone.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Counter Freeper Revolution ?

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? Does this guy know any Repub secrets ..??

If course, judging by how he ran Gore's campaign, I don't think so.
