Politics is so funny
And they come , all of them, our represetatives, dressed to the nines, coiffed her, some with their new stapled stomacks, and new found girlish figures, we pay for the privilage of having them, and not long ago we were so happyt with our little darlings performance that we gave them a raise, well we were not consultaed on it, but we did not objected to it either.
Well we do have to be greatfull since we have not had as many contreversies either, I mean like Barney Frank, our beloved gay congressman, hiring hookers on his payroll, or the one that was accused of having a relati0onship with his young male pages. Remember the postage fiasco, or the checking dilemma with our representive, cashing checks at the senate banks with no funds available. If only Jefferson, and Madisson knew, I am sure they would have come up with some provision to remedy all this. But our dear founding fathers, have bigger problems to worry about, I mean with all this new things coming up, like the confference in Yale university to change the constitution and give it an extreme make over, the whole idea of a living Constitution.
Our dear Mr MacCane, the Maverick in the senete, who keeps his face alway in the news media, by his bravery, staying at the graces of the Liberal Media. He is such a moderate, still feeling the pain of the spancking he got from Mr Bush in North Carolina that derailed his presidential aspirations. Probably the most dangerous Republican senator we have. The Darling of elite media, New York Times, and Chris Mathews who love to play Soft Ball with him any day of the week.
Yes he took the leadership power away from Senator Frist by the coalition he made with sic other glassy eyed moderate republicans, and seven moderate Democrats, to ho0ld off on The Nucliar option, and come up with an agreement which does not bind any of the two parties to anything. Yes it does ask the president to forgo his exacutive priviledge and confer with the senate on his judicial nominations, before he submitts them.
This morning Oron Hatch, the head of the senior member of the Judicial committe, talking to Don Imus, was so complementery of all Mr, MacCane's eforts, and how it so accidently coinsided with the
premier of the movie that was made based on Mr MacCane's Biohraphy, THE HONOR OF MY FATHERS, on TNT television, this weekend. who knew Mr, Maccane could be so crafty. I do think that Mr MacCane and his new protoge Lindsy Graham would recieve a great Thank you from the republican's at the next election Cycle. And for MacCane's aspiration to become a president, as they say it in NO yok, Fogetaboutit.
And about that agreement, it sems it is getting what it is due, by democrats trying to block, Mr Bolton's nomination to represent us at that mess of an organisation UN. Mr Bolton will get the vote once the senate convines after the holidays, but Democrats could not help it, showing their teeth, and feeling better about their complete lack of power, and the disarray that they have amongst themselves. Also Mr Dean the head of the DNC, did admitt this week that for the longest time democrats have taken BLACK VOTES for garaunted and they should try harde to keep them in their folds. I think Mr Bushes last election and the increase of the black votes for him and the republicans, has got something to do with it. Democrats always talk about Black's progress in this contry, but it was republican who got the first black secretary of state, and the first black female for the same post. And demo0crats are the ones that are blocking all the black and spanish judges that are nominated by Mr, Bush.

How do you feel about the incredible influence that the Christian Right has on the decisions made by the Republican Party today? I know many Christians in Texas who are Republicans but no longer support the Republican Party because of the dreadful management of finances (these are people from our accounting dept.) and the unquestionable influence the Christian Right is having on this administration.
The issue with Bush's choice of Judges (this was the issue even in the first election) is they are strongly bound not be secular law in making their decisions but by Biblical Law. The merger of religion and politics is now an ugly mess and it is the good fortune that we do have Republicans like McCain and Christine Todd Whitman and others that make are working hard to avoid this from happening.
And maybe Bush has appointed a couple of "token" Black people, but have you ever attended the NAACP conferences or associated with Black Policial Groups to get their overall opinion of Bush? Despite being more religious than the average White American, most do not look favourably towards Bush. Go chat with MLK Jr.'s kid - as much as he supports prayer and faith based communities - he is not a fan of him.
By the way, I have nothing against Republicans as Judges and have campaigned for a Hispanic Republican Judge in Texas (and yes, I did know him personally and he was a Bapist Minister - just a great guy). The reality is that most Judges (even if they have liberal values), cannot win on a Democratic ticket - you have to be Republican to win. Funny huh? And this is at the local level.
Anyhow, my issue is how these Judges are planning to revamp Roe Vs Wade, Stem Cell Research and other Acts using Biblical Teachings...
