He made the pledge "Read my lips, No New Taxes" Fraud didn't start with baby Bush and the Neo Cons Repugs know that they can’t win an honest election

Remember papa Bush when he was told Dukakis was gaining on him? He made the pledge

“Read my lips, No New Taxes”

Fraud didn’t start with baby Bush and the Neo Cons

In the statistically most accurate poll, the exit poll, somehow Bush went from loosing by a couple of points to winning by 4 or 5 - a statistical impossibility. And what was Kerry's response? (insert sound of chirping crickets) What's most upsetting is that we now know from the prelimenary investigations into the politicization of the Justice Department - and other examples such as the stolen election in Alabama that replaced a Democratic governor - that there has been a well-organized campaign to subvert the very foundation of our system by using a variety of methods to steal elections for the ReTHUG li CONS and very little has been done about it. Kerry's lack of agressiveness in the face of this campaign is a sad footnote in an otherwise outstanding career.

I think Sen Kerry should help people out whenever possible. Who are you to decide what is correct? While the majority of you think his looking into this football issue is a waste of time, I appreciate his efforts on our behalf. Whether you like it or not, approve or not, it is an act of kindness and I will take that anyday. I feel as strongly as any of you about that moron in the White House. there is so much anger, hatred and mistrust in our everyday lives. Please just let the Kerry thing blow over and get on with what we need to do. Elect a Democrat and put Bush Cheney on trial for their crimes against humanity. That is the real issue.

But in New England right now Pat's are king. And what they are doing right now is sport historical regardless of amature or professional. The Boston area never had teams like U of Alabama or Auburn so it's been a pro town for the most part. Boston College would have been big news if it wasn't for the Pats http://www.myleftplace.com Comment by Xisithrus
