Republican News

Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a hunting companion on Saturday. However, the right wing controlled media, did not release this information until Sunday. Just two weeks ago, Cheney was having difficulty walking.

Why do Republicans hate women leaders? Last week, Republican Party chair, Ken Mehlman, attacked Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton of New York. This week, the House Republicans are attacking Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi of California. Do they just hate any woman that challenges their 'good ole boy' mentality?

The President said that the FISA law was outdated because it was passed in 1978. Following that line of thinking, is this administration considering ignoring any other laws? The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which gave women the right to vote, became law in 1920. Do the Republicans think it is outdated because women are gaining too much power?

How can some Republicans know their constituents, when they don't even live in the district/state they represent? Rep. Paul Gillmor (OH-5) lives in Dublin, Ohio, instead of Old Fort, Ohio, which is in the 5th district. (Gillmor uses his son's home address in Old Fort as his address). Sen. Rick Santorum, his wife, and umpteen children, live in Virginia. He doesn't even reside in Pennsylvania. How do these guys get away with it? By living in your district/state, you get to "hang out" with your people. You see them in the market, the gas station, at church, and at community events. You'd get to hear about the daily concerns of your constituents. Obviously, Gillmor and Santorum have forgotten about the regular people who voted for them.

I hope someone in Ohio designs a bumper sticker that supports four more years of having a Republican governor (Blackwell or Petro). It should say: VOTE FOR 4 MORE YEARS OF REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION--Elect Blackwell or Petro!
