That sounds right. Let me ask you something, DS. How is it going to help me or you or anyone if Bush or his administration fights for prayer to go back in public schools or government buildings? I don't want to be around any of that religion bullshit and I better never have to be because I don't like it, don't need it, and don't want it around me.
On Republicans
"...a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives.''
-- June 2 speech in Washington, D.C., at Campaign for America's Future conference
Here is the full quote:
“How is a single parent supposed to do her job, pick up her kids from day care or wherever, rush home and grab a sandwich for an 8-hour vote? Well, Republicans I guess can do that because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives. But for ordinary working people, who have to work eight hours a day, they have kids, they got to get home to those kids, the idea of making them stand for eight hours to cast their ballot for democracy is wrong.”
Can you name a Republican who has ever gone through that? If not, than Dean was saying the truth, wasn't he?
On Tom DeLay, House GOP Leader
"I think Tom DeLay ought to go back to Houston where he can serve his jail sentence."
-- May speech to Massachusetts Democratic Convention
I'd rather have him stay and cause more drama for his party. However, with Texas' bogus judicial system, he'd be lavel to get the chair, so that'd be nice too.
Oh yeh, I like Howard Dean. -Pat
