Actually the blackout was caused by an old power grid. If the liberal EPA environmentalists would have allowed the government to upgrade the grid then the blackout probably would not have happened.

Why shouldn't the millionaires get the biggest tax cut when they pay they pay by far the most taxes? I don't understand why someone who doesn't pay any taxes should get free money from the government.
Social security was a flop because it was a pyramid system. There's suppose to be as many people paying in to it as it is paying out. But soon more people will be collecting than people paying in. This could be due to less population growth from birth control and abortion or it could just be the fact that people don't want to have as many kids anymore. It is not the Republican’s fault. By the way, Social Security was started by a Democrat named Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Separation of church and state is made up from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson. His intent was that the government would be separate from the church, not the church be separate from the government. He simply didn't want the government to take control of the church or religion. That's all there is to it.

The democrat left the state so they wouldn't have to vote. The Republicans didn't "chase" them out. The republicans wanted the Texas Rangers (not the Fed. gov't) to round up the democrats and bring them back so they could actually get some work done. The Democrats are also stalling Congress in an attempt to block all of the Bush Administration judges. Courts all over the US are extremely backed up due to there being such a shortage of judges. Republicans, under clinton's leadership, would ok judges as long as they were qualified and weren't too liberal. But the democrats won't even allow qualified very moderate republicans to be judges.
By the way, if clinton had done his job 9/11 might never have happened. Clinton should have taken out Al-Qaeda and Osama when they attacked the USS Cole on 10/12/2000. But being a draft dodger himself he wouldn’t want any conflict, so we did nothing. But you'd never hear that on our liberal national news.
