1. they should have weighted voting on that poll
Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 01:35 PM by tk2kewl
I think all but "I don't know" are valid choices on some level

my weighted order would look like this:

1. Cutting back in Iraq
2. Tax hikes
3. Cut back domestic programs (Pork)
4. Borrow the money

5. Here's what order Bush will use to pay for it:
1. Tax cuts for the uberclass.
2. Boost spending in Iraq.
3. Borrow like crazy.
4. Eliminate all social programs.

6. I'm sure every servicemember in OEF/OIF would rather
help his/her own country men and women, than be stuck in a foreign country egnaged in a conflict with a dubious end.

9. I could not help but notice *'s misbuttoned collar again
'plastered' on the front page of Newsweek. Since repugs usually like to dress so tidily that alone probably will take away some of his support.
