"I want more time for my children, and like many parents (I meet a few of them in my line of work) I'm stretched to the limit."

If you are stretched for time, then why are you socialist?

"Not all of us are dot.com millionaires, or would be if we had the choice. It's not independence, its a stinking selfishness like yours that is causing our society to crumble."

Beg pardon, but socialism is much more the politics of selfishness then any other political party. Socialism says- "What is yours is also mine" If that isn't selfish, I dunno what is.

"We could start by realizing that depriving Blacks the right to vote in Florida is an injustice to all, and a failure of democracy."

After the investigation of Florida by Democrats, they found 1 (ONE) person who had said that they had been denied the right to vote. That is not depriving blacks the right to vote. Assuming that the 1 (ONE) person was telling the truth, it does not form a pattern of discimination.

"I pray for the day when we can get another liberal to stand up in the White House and remind us to "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"."

Yeah? As in the VERY unselfish "Can I have $650,000 a year for an apartment?" Clinton?

Do tell.
