Don't get me wrong, Vic. I'm not a bleeding-heart liberal type, although I do tend to look for middle of the road candidates, and I find more of them listed under (D) than (R). I didn't vote for Gary Locke because he's a completely ineffective Governor. I wouldn't vote for Ellen Craswell because she was a fundamentalist-type conservative.

It's like I said. If a Republican congress gives you a tax cut, while Dick Cheney and his defense contractor friends are fleecing us with the Navy stealth bomber programs, then we see the national debt become an issue. How responsible is it to pass OUR tax burden on to our kids? Someone earlier said "It's our money". True, but in bad years it's also our debt. If we expect a tax rebate in budget surplus years, then wouldn't you expect a tax increase in budget deficit years?

In any case, I think we can all agree that this trailer tab thing is a fargin' joke. If people make calls to Mary Margaret Haugens office until she can't take it any more, then maybe we can get a change.

Man, politics is such a cesspool. It's become a business in which politicians and votes are bought and sold, corruption is rampant, and the one constant is we're getting screwed. Just vote for your candidate......but you really ought to base your decision on more than just TV ads and sound bites........something both parties spend millions of dollars producing.

Feeling sore yet? laugh
