[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Try some sweetened tea, Snay. Might wash that bitter taste out of your mouth. If they're smart, the Reps will use this opportunity to finally secure the gaping wounds that are our borders, with troops. Polls show 65-78% of Americans support that. I say we use troops pulled from American bases in Europe, particularly Germany. With the Cold War over, they're not needed anymore. Keep a few bases like Rammstein (sp?) as transfer / fueling / quick-deploy points, close the rest down. Europe can see to its own, I'm sure it would make them feel better not having troops of the 'evil imperialist oppressor' on their soil anymore. Yes, the regions US soldiers frequent may take an economic hit, but I'm sure they can make up for the loss somehow. Other important issues for attention include making the tax cut permanent, increasing ethanol in gas mixtures, and making sure Grassley (R-Iowa, Finance chair) keeps his promises about more enforcement on corporate accountability and alternative energy tax incentives. We'll probably see a reduction in the backlog of 46 held-up judges' conformation proccesses. Orrin Hatch: “The American people want judges who know their limited roles and will uphold the law, regardless of their personal views. As long as a judge is willing to do that, any other litmus test on their personal views is wrong.” Here's somthing interesting... the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee (Lugar, R-Ind) is against the US taking unilateral action against Iraq.
