“Just another vote for the RATS. Get used to this all-out effort to corner the voting process.”

Next it’ll be two seats in the Senate for DC, and two more for Puerto Rico after statehood for both, essentially forever locking in a majority for dems.

The only way D.C. can get representation is via constitutional amendment.

But it is also the right thing to do.
And the only right way to do it is via constitutional amendment.

Spending and terrorism would have increased under Al Gore. The Republicans did not have much of a majority. Gore would have found enough RINOs to pick off to pass all kinds of crap. Osama and terrorism could have continued unabated with no significant response by Gore. But if you would have preferred Al Gore you must be glad to see Obama.

Does this need to be added to “the List”?

That doesn’t make sense. Bush led to Obama.

Not for the “Obama” list. Not unless we can find his people ordering this.

Texas could decide to split into 5 states. That would give the repubs some 8 more Senators, and a few more representatives, depending on round off. Then we could annex western Canadian provinces (leave Ontario and Quebec alone!)

My belief is that Bush permitted the spending to get support for the War. For him, all was subordinate to the war. The one we won.

He got a lot wrong, but he got one big thing right.

He was spending before the war even begun...before 9/11...

He was a liberal...loving to spend other peoples’ money.

OBL would consider it a victory, too.

One of his goals was to damage us economically. It worked.

No it's you that makes no sense. No conservative in their right mind would prefer Al Gore over George W. Bush.
