And a good quote from Plato that was well timed; good one, two punch ! But here comes the media, muckin it all up as usual, gettin down on Pelosi's decission to back Murtha, some things never change. But that news was hard to figure--why back Murtha when the other guy supposedly has the votes. I guess, like somebody once said, 'You dance with the guy who brought ya'. Guess there's some loyalty shown in that decission, maybe some payback too. Politics is crazy, ya know. Anyway, as for Mr Chafee, maybe Rahm talks to him and he comes to play for his team - you would like that , yes? Or is it better for each side to have a broad spectrum of opinion? Because we have a two partry system, for better or worse, I think it's probably best that he remain Republican. Now if he can only find a job.

Here’s the thing. Bush/Cheney came to the White House after the closest election in American history. I think that’s one fact that we sometimes forget because people are still debating whether Bush actually won or just had a better legal team.

Plus he LOST the popular vote. So what you say next should be in bolded, blinking 18 point font.

And so, after all this, Bush/Cheney decide their response to this obvious call for bi-partisanship is to divide, not unite. Now Chafee has confirmed it in no uncertain terms.

I wonder if the term makes any sense to people like Bush and his cronies. And I doubt that it does, smacking of some other philosophical ethic (not to MENTION religion!) as it does.... I guess they'll get it when it bites them where it does the most good, ain't?

Karma…. I wonder if the term makes any sense to people like Bush and his cronies. And I doubt that it does, smacking of some other philosophical ethic (not to MENTION religion!) as it does…. I guess they’ll get it when it bites them where it does the most good, ain’t?
