I'm sorry but this is right out of fantasyland......

Your right the FL Supreme court should not of stepped out of their
constitutional mandate and attempted to usurp the FL legislature..... if
they had simply followed the law and allowed the process to work as designed
many confused people would have to find some other silly issue to harp over.
Incidently by following the normal and established law d Bush would still be
President......What is a CCO?

Gesh.....where do you think everything you use, buy and eat comes
from.....the tooth fairy? Why are virtually all basic consumer goods cheaper
in real dollars now than in the past? What makes you think that a
corporation does not answer to the same "law of the land" that we do? Do you
even know what a corporation is?

A mind reader...cool.....what did Bush have for dinner last night?.....the
claim was Bush refused campaign finance reform....since he signed such.....
the claim was bogus. However any such bill limits freedom and communication
and ultimately hurts all Americans.

Hey Trafficant is a typical Dem...just a little more vocal and above board
about extra income etc<G>.

But the absurdity of your claim about Worldcom and Enron is they prospered
and did their scams unhindered under the Dems and faltered quickly under the
Republicans..... You do realize that if one gets a payoff to "help" there is
supposed to be a tangible benefit.....you know like the protection they
received under the Dems. Or are you accusing the Republicans of taking the
cash and not doing anything unseemly?  Soggy
