A great idea by these folks, Pops... but I get the feeling that it won't even get a stitch of media coverage. Frustrating.
Silly Adventures,
Thanks for the offer of letting your tax $$ to be used to take care of the mess that Preznit Numb-Nutz leaves behind...but I feel that all those who have backed him, and lied for him, and got the huge tax breaks should be paying for the clean-up along with Bush out of his own pocket.
Even if all of Europe could vote for presidential candidates here, I'm sure that Diebold would still skew the election. Hey, it was a very nice offer anyway.
Econ,
It may not get any MSM coverage, but it just might be enough to shake the dust off some more of those in Washington who's heads are still in the sand.
