I AM QUITE AWARE AND COMFORTABLE WITH MY OWN BIASES, THANKYOU VERY MUCH.
what did i say about republicans? i do not draw the line between
republicans and democrats, but rather conservatives and liberals. who cares
what their party affiliations are. you can be a conservative democrat and
still be a dumbass.

one, i never said i was in support of the medication programs. i haven't
had the time to do any indepth research into either of the two medicare
plans. two, the money for the drug program as you called it is ear marked
for medications. the money is not discretionary spending unless you think
the seniors are going to forgo their heart medication and go on a spending
spree at your local suburban strip mall.

i can see the drug companies but how is it that those working for the
government going to get the medication money?

parties don't have pockets. the politicians do. once again, i stand for
liberal ideals not political parties or platforms.

kindergarten isn't considered higher education for the rest of us...but
anyway, do enlighten me as to the skewedness of my view.

only in theory, in reality, small states are pretty much ignored as is.

ooh, dirty word.
how dare you accuse me of such a thing, academic indeed. i maybe an

i wouldn't argue any such thing simply because i do not see them as
"miscarriages" but rather just some scheduled maintenance, the 50,000 mile
tune-up.
i am obviously not a strict constructionist by any stretch of the
imagination.
you may now stand down from you proactive ass-first posture...dismissed.
