Comment by candide — December 13, 2007 @ 4:07 pm Not when Bush adds signing statements to laws, protecting the violators rather than the whistle-blowers. Does the congress not have the power to see that employees who call for the violation of federal laws are fired?

If things happen as I think they will, then Jason Hendler will be even further in the margin. And if the Democrats get the spine that control of all three branches of government should give them, a whole lotta chickens are going to come back to roost for the Republicans in 2009....and some crows too.

As I've said before, I was raised Roman Catholic, but got turned off organized religion due to the hypocrisy I witnessed by so many pious church-goers. I truly feel that my morals/ethics are more like what one should expect from true christians than what one sees from so many political and television religious leaders shouting their piety into a microphone. BTW, what IS it with all of the Jehovah's Witnesses in my neck of the woods--there's at least 5 or 6 enclaves of them within about 5 square miles! Arn, you’re right, not very “christian”.
