Having lived in Texass - The democrats there are conservatives. Texas dems
are what made me realize libs and cons are not dems and reps.

As far as AlGore is concerned - he didn't even try to win his state.

Too bad. Had he - we would not have had to deal with monkey face as our
president.

long.

If you can show that the previous policy of the Clinon administration
somehow had any effect on 9-11 go ahead. Otherwise accept defeat.

Ashcroft would rather ignore biblethumpers attacking liberals with Anthrax.
So far almost nothing has happened wrt the anthrax attacks.

Wonder why?

What will you do if it's a domestic terrorist and you supported efforts to
hide any activities because they were white, Right, and didn't want to
