Gephardt and Harkin doing what comes natural

At the Iowa Pork Producers booth, in between flipping pork chops on the grill, Harkin and Gephardt orate against "privatization" of Social Security.

I find it interesting that, in a story in the Jewish World Review, Harkin and Gephardt are shown flipping pork chops, but Lieberman isn't mentioned.

Another example of the zionist-controlled media trying to manipulate American elections.

Hee!

G, SS privatization is politically unfeasible until there is public confidence in American business again, and probably only large American public businesses to boot, and probably even then only several years into the confidence.

I personally don't trust the Rs to do it correctly, either. Didn't W's original concept involve not giving the public any choice and just dropping a bunch of money into the stock markets? The one thing we do not want, under any circumstances, is a building in DC where a bunch of bureaucrats think they are professional money managers playing stocks for the public retirement account.

You're killing me HB, killing me.

UT, the SS thing was just a vehicle to put Gep with the other pork producers, Bush can no more be trusted to save SS than Gore would have been. I just thought it was hilarious that he'd really do a pork photo op.

Saying "I suck" can do damaging things to your psyche. It's a dangerous and powerful tool, not to be wielded lightly.

And the really terrible thing is I know that and I wrote it anyway.

Every day I do battle with myself...

I thought that admitting the problem was the first step in recovery . . .

"Hi, I'm Tony, and I suck."

Group: "Welcome, Tony!"

American Pie

Aug 25 press release:

Quote:
`The Great Gephardt Iowa Pie Challenge` Unveiled

Dick Gephardt today called on Iowans to help him find the tastiest, flakiest, fruitiest, creamiest, most scrumptious slices of pie in Iowa. In unveiling "The Great Gephardt Iowa Pie Challenge," Gephardt takes an early lead in the pie primary with the deep-dish support he enjoys among all Iowans, but especially those who make and love Iowa pies.
ewwww. Somehow this gimick strikes me as just gross and creepy.
