Indeed. You know, Americans hate Congress but love their own Congresscritter. What does that tell you? Money is the grease that makes poly ticks work. As long as Sherman P. Crook takes care of his or her district they get re-elected. Bush can't spend a dime without Congress. Democrats and Republicans are equally quilty. Right now Democrats are whining about the spending, when they are in power it's the Republicans who whine about the spending. Guess who they are screwing? Correction: Bush does carry the largest burden of guilt because the asshole has never vetoed anything, has never spoken out against the spending. When the Ports deal comes along he threatens with a veto. Go figure. No I don't like Bush but I intensely hate Kerry so I voted for Bush. Twice. Would do it again if he ran against Kerry, Hillary or Algore. Everytime.
