Malloy made gravel look like fool on gay issues. Very '70s in outlook. David seems to be bringing out "the higher side" of the candidate.

That was a little disappointing. But still, David enabled Gravel to do what he does best: the honest politician who speaks his mind.

.... are difficult for me. We're losing you again. Good luck, DavidBender. I've enjoyed listening to you this week. I wish you the best of luck in your new journey and can't wait till you return to us.
Is there any way to e-mail MarkRiley and RonDodd? I wish them well, too. I know a lot of boomers' jobs, including mine, are in flux right now. Very strange.
Takecare, :) :) :) :) .... Deborah from Kansas (not originally) .... Peace

By rdplumAugust 11, 2007 - 12:29amCritcal 'money/finances' is deceptive!
The only way to talk about money, will be after two discussants have set a playing field, on which to roam, as the 'flexible-view animals', that we are.
An example is in New York City. It's, 'HARLEM WEEK.'
The Harlem political structure, and the New York City political structure, have NOT achieved this basic rapport. The event is next weekend, the community is abuzz, there'll be music, food and discussion-but the subways are not working!!
The initial discussions have degenerated into a recognizable, not EVER familiar, power play of money/finances. The city wins.
My evidence: the construction at a the major through station just south of Harem, has suddenly commenced major construction; train service is disrupted, many stops have been ELIMINATED, express trains now run on local tracks, or vica verse, on rotating days of the week/weekend.
It is noisy, chaotic in this station, and minor safety violations like water leaks, and restricted egress are blatent and no-one looks that way!
WhY?!! Well if there's no easy reason, maybe we should be asking deeper questions, and make one up. Cause it ain't no damn coincidence. It's just money/finances, when it's either: 1) pressing 2)trying or 3)decisive !!
The Republican model of money, DOESN'T WORK. In this city it SHOULD. THERE'S LOTS OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :liar:

Hi
Here is a letter I got from Dianne Feinstein the same old crap.
Thank you for your letter concerning impeachment proceedings against President Bush. I appreciate the time you took to write and welcome the opportunity to respond.
In our recent elections, the American people expressed clear disapproval with the path this country was on. They are tired of partisan politics and of an Administration that pays little heed to the wishes of the American people. They want-and deserve-a Congress that holds the Administration accountable and fulfills its Constitutional responsibility to check and balance the Executive. I share this sentiment and am determined to work hard and across party lines in the United States Senate to promote issues that are of real concern to most Americans, including the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, homeland security, global warming, and lobbying and election reform.
At this time, however, I believe that impeachment proceedings against President Bush will only divide the country even further, frustrating our hopes for a meaningful change in direction, while having little chance of success.
I have been deeply disappointed by many of this Administration's actions and have been outspoken in those instances. Nevertheless, given the challenges our country faces I believe that we need to focus on constructive and cooperative steps that would lead us in the right direction.
Again, thank you for your continued correspondence. If you have any further questions or comments, please contact my office in Washington, D.C. at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours, Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
