1. Go cheeseheads! My favorite sign:
Standing in a parking lot near Cormier Road, a group of local activists, including 13 Green Bay residents, waited to board a bus sporting the sign, "Read Bush's Lips ... No New Jobs."

Whatta burn on #41 and #43...

7. Texas...
Honestly, I don't know?! I'm a little shocked that he is THIS popular still. I'd think his approval rating should be down to Davis numbers by now. But this war did provide a spike, so once it is finished he has only one way to go... down.

I think his support still comes from the south, radical conservatives, and people who don't like liberty.

14. Which is why it will--or can--never be finished
Monkeyboy knows that if the United States is not at war, his approval rating goes to 15 percent and stays there because What's Good for Dubya Bush is Bad for America.

So it's war all the time and Osama! to keep you on your toes, 'cause Osama! might jest jump out of that thar woodwork and blow up another building in lib'rul New York City. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, won't get fooled again.

8. Go Wisconsin, that's nice to see
snip
Salmon said he fears any new jobs created by the tax cuts will be located in foreign countries, where workers demand cheaper wages.
snip

Why can't we offer a tax cut to companies who give living wage jobs in the US? The way these tax cuts are set up is the biggest crock of bs.

9. There is a Wisconsin State Rep who has ...
Proposed a tax code change that would eliminate the tax deduction for the salaries of Corp execs when the salary exceeds 25 times the lowest paid worker. It doesn't have a snowball's change but at least he has the guts to bring it up.

12. NEWS CHRONICLE IS INDEPENDANT PAPER ( NOT GANNETT RAG)
This road show of the CHIMP came here yesterday. Glad to see a few real people greeted the scum. They are spinning overtime and trying to undercut our Democratic Governor Jim Doyle.

After almost 16 years of (where's the Anthrax)Thompson as Governor , Chimpy and his minions can't stand the pro-education/labor agenda of our great NEW Governor Jim Doyle. They have to try to resort to sending the "B" team.

P.S. Al Gore won Wisconsin !!!!
