If you think you have something to lose.

You do.

Is it true that Harreit Miers was part of Bush's nominee search team?

I find it so utterly tawdry when "I searched the world over and the best person I could find was... MYSELF"

Again, if this is true what kind of a moron tasks a person to find candidates knowing that same person may be a candidate?

Dear Mr. Bush

The more I think about it the more disgusted I become.

To quote Mr. Wales, "Don't piss on my back and tell me it's rainin' boy."

Bush does not = Hitler, Bush = Souter

"I have known Harriet Miers for years and years. She shares my judicial philosophy." George Bush said something like that. That does not inspire confidence. Bush presides over a party that cannot understand a budget. Bush thinks federal control over education is a good thing. He thinks federal aid for local disasters is ok. He thinks that when people turn 65 they have the right to force those younger to pay for their drugs. Bush signed a highway bill stuffed with 6,373 earmarks that have no place in national legislation. Bush signed the McCain-Feingold law which undermines the 1st Amendment.

This man has never actually read the Constitution.

Really, what did you expect?

The medical "system"

I was at a doctor's office. He has a handout for his patients. It points out that if the patient has insurance the patient is the consumer of the insuror's product.

If I am a consumer of medical insurance then why is the system so messed up? Shouldn't market forces work to keep things in balance?

Here is one flaw in Medical legislation in the US. Most employers have tax incentives to provide medical insurance. I as an employee cannot easily afford to ignore this benefit and choose the insurance company that works best for me. Or to dump my company's insurance if they screw up or if they offend me, or if they start supporting some cause I find idiotic. I.E. I stick with them even though I would rather try another company. And they know this.
