Fat Ted is a leading Democrat on the Health Committee? Words fail me!!!!!!

Smaller companies like R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc., say they will be financially ruined by both the buyout and the oversight measures.

Oh well, our Senator Giddy doesn't care. What's 2600 more jobs lost here in the last week.

But when Senate Democrats saw Gregg's final proposal, they said that the provision that allowed only Congress to ban cigarettes was so vaguely written it could have prevented the FDA from requiring changes to make cigarettes safer.

I can't believe this is even an issue. To put this power in the hands of some of biggest nanny government officials, Elizabeth Dole included, is practically insane. She signed on to end government subsidies, which severely affected RJR enough for them to cut jobs, knowing that this bill was a possibility? I guess you were right az, we're going to all have jobs standing on the roadside checking seatbelts

NC ping. The effects of electing a CINO to represent us are coming home to roost ping. Go, Giddy, go!!
