I used to live in Ketchikan, AK, and I can tell you for fact that the bridge proposed is truly a bridge to nowhere. It would connect Ketchikan, on the island of Revillagigedo, to their airport on Gravina Island just across the straights. The think is, there is already a ferry that works extremely well and the residents acknowledge that and many of them don’t even want the bridge. The Republicans are pigs treating our treasury as a trough. And cheers to QandO for fighting the good fight. You’re doing a heckuva job, McQueey. Heckuva job. Written By: PogueMahone URL: http:// |

Am I the only person who thinks the answer to "How should we pay for Katrina" is "Don’t"? Every Federal spending item on the Rocky Mountain News list violates the Constitution, Katrina included. Dear God in heaven, where will it end? . Written By: nathan bissonette URL: http:// |

No Nathan, you’re not the only one.

No Nathan, you’re not the only one. Yeah, I know, and in a perfect libertarian world, etc. etc. But this isn’t that world and it’s going to happen whether you approve or not. So I’m for cheap and effective. And that means actual management of money instead of throwing it in the air and hoping it fixes the problem. Yeah, I know, that’s about as feasible as not fixing the place. Oh well. Written By: McQ URL: http://www.qando.net/ |

...except tax cuts, and at some point, even that’s not going to be enough, especially if the spending continues unabated. If you really think about that statement, if you follow it to its logical conclusion...you arrive at what may just Bush’s latest rope-a-dope strategy. Okay, to be fair, there’s blessed little evidence of it. But we have the economic growth to sustain a deficit for a while. What’s the best way to tie the hands of a Democrat President who follows Bush but give him a deficit that must be cut along with a populace accustomed to lower taxes? What’s the best way to give a Republican President the mandate to slash the budget while silencing Democrats’ criticism? Why, it looks an awful lot like your sentence above, doesn’t it? Sure, that’s not necessarily so. I could be wrong. Even if I’m right, it could be a miscalculation on the part of Bush and Rove. But not every Republican President deals with a 9/11 event in his first term and a New Orleans failure in his second. Not every Republican President is this unwilling to use a Veto. And if the people are screaming for a reduction in the deficit, it makes it easier than if people are apathetic. ...just food for thought. Written By: Nathan URL: http://brain.mu.nu/ |

Now, that Nathan is a bright fellow. Yes, the DNC-talking-points claim that Bush is clueless, has no plan, has no grasp of how to run anything, etc. Well, somebody kicked Democrat butt, not once, but twice. It occurs to me that I might find it extremely difficult to vote for a party who currently look so bad and have absolutely no coherent program (other than NOTBUSH) and who ran such losers [what were their names?] as their "leaders for America" in the last two presidential elections. My version of the "divided government" bs would be to elect Kerry/Ted Kennedy or perhaps Howdy Doody and Clarabelle. That would be a divided government and it makes as much sense as the claim that electing Democrats to Congress solely to divide government will solve any problem or be an improvement.

After all, we see how far Social Security reform has gone. It hasn’t yet become a absolutely-cannot-ignore-anymore problem. Written By: Mark A. Flacy URL: http:// |
