Do you expect nothing from NP or CS besides what was expected of RN in 68'?

As a voter, that's your right!

History and information are supposed to guide those who hold the power to vote.

I tried to point out similarities between Johnson's predicament in 68'
and Bush's situation now.

I wish we who vote could agree that, based on the events of 68' either party, left in power too long will eventually wear out its welcome.

Tom Paine reflected on that in Common Sense, my country's founding political treatise (published Jan. 10, 1776).

The constitution gives the House of Representatives the power of the purse (Artical I of the Constitution).

Accordingly, democrats in control would have the power to cut funding.

Wisely, representatives are also the group most influenced by the people they represent.

Some might propose that whether we support Irag for ten more weeks or ten more years, the result would be the same.

I'm glad I won't have to carry Nancy's burden.

A great deal and many lives are at stake these next few days.

I'll agree to respect your opinion on these matters if you will agree to respect mine.
