I believe we are now technically living under a facist goverment state, with many theocracy-isms bought in, puns intended. Part of the, "new design" by the out of the closet, Homophobs Rock Group. So what would Jesus do? He would throw the money grabing phonies out of the temple so he could go about his Fathers business. Being the radical Leftist that he was. Probably put two feathers in Mr. Byrds cap, since he has seen the truth and mended his ways. Reality check!!!

Talk about Byrd's obvious score in this debate-point and you're reminded that Ted Kennedy is fat. Point out a contradiction made by a right-wing politician and you'll be reminded that Liberals hate America or that Saddam Hussein is a bad man. Point out the president's lies in the run-up to war and you'll be reminded that Bill Clinton didn't like Iraq either. Will someone, anyone ever take responsibility for words put into the public sphere without using this evasive tactic? Repubs are supposed to be the party that brought respect and dignity, accountability and responsibility back to Washington. SHOW ME THE MONEY.
