| It amazes me how you know that Republicans do or don't buy

Kent you must remember the Republicans are the party of morality and the
Democrats are the party of immorality. Yes some Republicans do immorals
things some times, (Larry Craig ect) We teach about God and responsibility.
They teach there is no God and you are not responsible for your actions. If
a Republican's child gets pregnant they get classes in parenthood. If a
Democrat's child get pregnant they practice infanticide and abort the
innocent baby and blame society.
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support
of Paul. ---- George Bernard Shaw

| Smallest state? Not geographically, nor in population,

| have smaller populations than Alaska. And Hillary is more

|
| Well, Hank Aaron was called "Hammer" as was a
| flash-in-the-pan rapper. Aaron did bust balls of a
| different sort. The rapper just went bust. But I will
| concede that I may be underestimating her in terms of
| toughness. There had to be a reason that her high school
| nickname was "Sarah Barracuda" (basketball). She beat an
| incumbent Republican governor in the primary and a former
| Democratic governor in the general election. Neither
| indicates a person who is faint of heart, low in
| intelligence, or short of moxie.
|
| And a point that might please you, she's not Ted Stevens'
| favorite Alaskan either.
