This column is a rant, not a soft, cuddly piece of fluff opinion. It is going to tell the truth like you have never heard it before. To quote Jack Nicholson from the movie "A Few Good Men" - "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth" - but I'm going to give it to you anyway.So, as your mother used to do to those of you readers who are old enough to remember, hold your nose and take your medicine, because the doctor is in, and he's operating with a chainsaw.
After 35 years in the news/journalism business, from D.C. to Vietnam, I can honestly say that most of the leading Democratic Party politicians and their far-left support groups are traitors to this country. Besides the few who are deceased or out of office, today's DP is loaded with leaders who have sold out this country to the communists, to the Islamofascists and to their egos. Others are just plain stupid, addle-brained and knee-jerk jerks.
(I'll get to the Republicans in a minute).....
MEGA THANKS for that update Donna.

Coalition Forces Kill and Detain Terrorists in Firefight
American Forces Press Service
TIKRIT, Iraq, May 6, 2006 – Soldiers from Task Force Band of Brothers killed three terrorists in a firefight near Samarra, Iraq, on May 4, and three other terrorists were detained in the incident, military officials in Iraq reported yesterday.
Working a tip from a local citizen, troops with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, apprehended three individuals known to have planted roadside bombs. As the soldiers began to leave the area with the detainees, they were attacked with small-arms fire from a nearby rooftop. The troops suppressed the rooftop fire, entered the building, and killed the three attackers, officials said.
An Iraqi citizen was injured during the firefight, but still provided the soldiers with information about the rooftop terrorists. Officials said.
No coalition forces were injured.
(From a Multinational Force Iraq news release.)

"Ferry crashes into Pier 43"
Chronicle Staff Report
Saturday, May 6, 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A ferry from Vallejo crashed into Pier 43 in San Francisco at 4:22 p.m., injuring as many as 10 people."
That's what I thought, too. It's a very good article which I hadn't read before.

Democratic leaders, increasingly confident they will seize control of the House in November, are laying plans for a legislative blitz during their first week in power that would raise the minimum wage, roll back parts of the Republican prescription drug law, implement homeland security measures and reinstate lapsed budget deficit controls.

I read it! There is a thread about Obama ranting too.

Thanks Smartass for the post.
OPINION: The DnC values-agendas are
pretty well known.
Unfortunately, many Americans are
either ignoring the agenda
or laying down like a rug and letting
the DnC walk all over them.

I think they're/we're more like hoping the GOP, and/or GWB would come back to life. Putting troops on our border would do instant wonders. The powers to be just don't hear us.
por fin! : )
OPINION: Let me amend your sentence here Smartass.
The powers to be just don't WANT TO hear us.
The democrats' "plan":
1. Spend money and find ways to spend more.
2. Investigate this, investigate that, and investigate this some more (spending yet again).
That's a plan?
All the Republican party needs to do to retain their seats is to listen to its base: enforce existing immigration laws and close the border.
