It is obvious that the parliamentary election had its features. There were no winners and losers in this Parliament. Since all sides, even independents come in as actors in developing public policy in this Parliament this choice is of historical importance. There are no majorities or minorities. The reflections and intentions people had in mind when casting votes are all present herein. Therefore, people welcomed the Government and there were opportunities to incorporate those items which these two political forces had had in mind for a long time, wanted to implement, and, as they considered, they could implement collectively. In addition, we had opportunities to incorporate actions which had common characteristics provided in the two Government Action Plans. Once such actions provided in the Government Action Plans of the two sides are incorporated in the Government Action Plan we also could say that it is the least politicized Government Action Plan.

Our nation consist of some 300 million people, different races, sexual orientation and the list goes on. In the last six years, women's rights have come under attack, homosexuals have come under attack, blacks have come under attack. If, this democracy, God bless us. Our Founding Fathers surely did not want such treatment of people to exist. Government has but one goal, to protect the wealthy and forget the rest. Look at our nation today, and tell me that you like the constant abuse of constitutional rights, and tell me, that you like the pure fact, that our government has isolated so many Americans. The Patriot Act made suspects of 300 million citizens, all while our communication has been listened to, and to make matters worst, our bank accounts have been looked into. As a nation, we have become dumber and dumber as each day passes, because we believe everything a habitual lair has stated and when he confesses, we merely put it aside and nothing is done. Maybe the president, was right, when he stated, it would be easier to run this country under a dictatorship form of government. Looking at the results, he might have change our form of government and nobody really cared, so we live in the terrible mess of a scramble democracy.

Unfortunately, as I noted last week, the prospects of passing legislation this year are dimming - and meanwhile, Sen. Frist is preparing to use the Senate’s scarce floor time for divisive dross with no chance of passage next week. If there were no other pressing issues on the Senate’s agenda, then fine; but using floor time in this way when sensible chemical security (and port security) legislation is languishing is deeply irresponsible.

You don't win debates for knocking the other person. It was why W lost all his debates against Kerry in 2004 - he didn't use facts. He also lost the election - but that's a whole other discussion I'm sure neither of you could have without insulting Bill Clinton or John Kerry because you're too lazy to get the facts and inform yourselves. And as usual, I see you have no facts, just holier-than-thou attempts at insult. Well, not surprised, since that is the definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results).
