NY Gov. Paterson drops election bid under pressure (AP)

Kliphnote: From the reader in Chicago, thanks.

Yes it if fun, and no I don't post most responses.

I try not to be one issue only.

I have never been a registered Republican or Democrat.

I look at ALL issues and decide. Too many people are one or two issues.

It just happens that most issues I agree with are Conservative.

But not all.

I also believe most politicians don't care about the average citizen.

All they care about is getting elected and reelected.

And the only way to do that is to have money.

And the only way you get money is by doing what your base wants.

It works on both sides. And the futher you go in politics

the more favors you owe.

Just as I don't believe all Liberal politicians are "environmentalist"

but their base is. And the closest most "environmentalist" get to the enviroment

is a walk in the park.

The same with Conservative politicians and abortion.

They don't realty care, but their base does.

And that is where the money comes from, the base, for both sides.

“On this day, 17 years ago, the World Trade Center was attacked when an Islamist cell ignited a 1,500 pound car bomb in the underground garage of the north tower. Six people and a seven- month-old unborn baby boy were killed and thousands were injured. The perpetrators were Ramzi Yousef and a handful of others, including Yousef’s uncle, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who allegedly provided financing for the plot.

By the way, dentures are currently covered under Medicaid.

Furthermore, there is no dental coverage in any of the current ‘healthcare reform’ proposals.

Should be an age limit for congress.
