Referring to"compelling and astounding" polling data, the results of whichmay have a great impacton our nation's future,U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stated, "We're going to pick up Senate seats as a result of this war."

A more accurate statement that might gauge the impacton our nation's future might be: We're going to pick up a war as a result ofSenate seats.

Last Friday, at the close of the market it skyrocketed to $679.50---more than double the price. Gold isn’t going up; it’s simply a meter on the waning value of the dollar. The reality is that the dollar is tanking big-time, and the main culprit is the widening trade deficit. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=WHI20070411&articleId=5341 Posted by: scott_tyner on Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:37 pm Gosh, I was surprised LB published my post. Here is the text to the two e-mails I sent Ryan Parsons: 4-20, 2:15 p.d.t. Dear Robert (sic): As a minor it would be inappropriate for me to send you the news I find. But, there is some really good info. you can get at the H.Amer. logs, especially the letters section. I'd recommend Common Dreams for accurate news that you won't find in the Mainstream Media. Stay informed, Scott Tyner 4-20, 13:34 p.d.t. That was trite. That was a really good letter and as a middle-aged person, it's very encouraging to see a young person who's interested and cares about the state of our country. Keep up the great work, Scott Tyner Posted by: scott_tyner on Tue Apr 24, 2007 12:21 pm Bush is the one who is reducing our civil liberties, i.e., Patriot Act, NSA wiretapping, Military Commissions Act, etc. Posted by: Webhead on Tue Apr 24, 2007 11:42 am ...and pick up economic instability, the pace of national fragmentation, social devolution, civil upheaval, etc., etc. ; all of which to provide the Democratic socialists a so-called "rational" basis for reducing individual freedom and liberty while expanding the role of government. Posted by: gordonbass on Tue Apr 24, 2007 10:29 am We are going to inherit bush's war: he's too irresponsible/delusional to support our troops by bringing them home. Instead, he's waiting out his term so the next president can fix the bush mess. Posted by: Wotan on Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:53 am Post a Comment   View All Comments
