I don't recognize her, but she is beautiful.

| 26. A couple of inconsistancies I have noticed. |
|
The RepubliCONS keep stating that:
1) the bill will raise taxes, by 800B, 700B, 1T dollars... Which is it?
2) the bill's length is 800, 1000, 2000 pages... Which is it?
They have not gotten together to get their lie straight. You can tell that it is fiction, when they all state something against it, and the number is different.

Although...I have to say after watching years of these votes....I'm giving to much to our Dems to pull a DeLay and do what he and Bush/Cheney/Rummy did.
Still...I have a sliver of hope yet...that they LEARNED from their YEARS in the WILDERNESS!
Thanks for this thread! It means a lot to continue the legacy of DU with a Proper Running Thread! :hi:
