I LOVE smoke and mirrors. Keep watching that MAGIC TRICK SHELL GAME.
Look, we CANNOT keep jacking up spending on things that HAVE NO RETURN on investment such as the IRAQ CONQUEST ATTEMPT. It''s a financial, international good will and "best and brightest" DRAIN that benefits ONLY Al Queda Recruiters an WAR PROFITEERS that are now moving OFFSHORE. Strategic DIPLOMACY IS CHEAPER and brings in a BETTER RETURN!

Healthcare for American children MIGHT provide long term cost cuts and return on taxpayer investment IF we survive long enough to NEED HEALTHY PRODUCTIVE WORKERS and the Demographic the SCHIP serves is where those workers come from.

Importing workers will only happen as long as it''s WORTH THE COST to our IMPORTED workers. They DESERTED ONE COUNTRY ALREADY chasing money - if they can make MORE elsewhere how long before THEY LEAVE?
Don''t Believe it?
Then you HAVEN''T been paying attention to the SMART RATS - our "corporations" which seem to be "relocating" elsewhere in droves!

Mother, mother ocean
I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You''ve seen it all, you''ve seen it all



Watched the men who rode you
Switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
Most of ''em dreams, most of ''em dreams



Yes I am a pirate
Two hundred years too late
The cannons don''t thunder, there''s nothin'' to plunder
I''m an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late



I''ve done a bit of smugglin''
And I''ve run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami
But I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last



And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got stop wishin'', got to go fishin''
Down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends



I go for younger women
Lived with several awhile
Though I ran ''em away, they''d come back one day
Still could manage to smile

Just takes a while, just takes a while
Mother, mother ocean
After all the years I''ve found
My occupational hazard being my occupation''s just not around

I feel like I''ve drowned, gonna head uptown
I feel like I''ve drowned, gonna head uptown

McCain would make a good president. Too bad he blew his chance with that illegal Mexican amnesty stuff. Lesson learned: Talk like a liberal Democrat, people lose respoct for you.

The biggest user of US funds is the Iraq War. People should realize that we are spending over $720 million per day in Iraq and this will increase as the days go by. Every federal account that we have such as education, non DOD, law enforcement, etc. is being scalped for funds to spend in Iraq. The result is that we have to borrow more money from folks in China and Japan. This leads to deficits that we may never be able to pay even in the succeeding second, third, fourth generations.

Ron Paul might abolish government environmental protections but he wouldn''t use the taxpayer''s money to build a national highway system or to dam up rivers.

And won''t Ron Paul also turn over all the National Forests to private timber companies, the Bonneville Power Authority and the Tennessee Valley Authority to Exxon or Xcel, abolish anti-trust laws, abolish environmental protections, and turn the rapacious billionaires loose to steal even more?

What''s there to review? Start with Brushaber and the other Supreme Court rulings on the scope of the 16th Amendment.

Greenspan as an advisor over the tax code is like putting a wolf in the henhouse. Get rid of the tax code!!! That''s what Ron Paul will do. Vote Ron Paul for President.

That''s the problem with Republicans -- they cling so tightly to tradition that they can''t tell when someone''s time or ideas are past. Too bad McCain can''t come up with any good ideas on his own.

McCain''s statement regarding Democrats: "They will tax, spend, regulate, and dictate for the benefit of special interests and partisan objectives,"

Isn''t that what the Republicans have done for the last seven years?

John McCain has nothing in common with Alan Greenspan. Obsessed with sacrifice, my senator would willingly have every American die or live in poverty in pursuit of causes he deems "greater than their own self interest", as he has put it. Alan Greenspan, as a disciple of Ayn Rand, understands that what made this country prosperous was the right of productive people to pursue their own happiness in a capitalist system based on the profit motive.

Greenspan may be even more valuable as an advisor now that he''s not constrained by his position at the Fed or by political considerations.

I''d rather have a dead advisor than the brain dead advisors who apparently have Bush''s ear.
