Corruption is a function of power, not party affiliation, as you seemed to claim at one point.

But beyond that, I am disappointed that you found the time to post this but evidently you still are not ready to defend the failed neo-con policies of the recent past. How much time do you need?

Or defend your assertion that a nation w/o a guaranteed absolute Constitutional right to bear arms is on the slippery slope to geneocide. How does that play out for the new democracy in Iraq, where there is no such Constitutional right?
