Embeds
How many democratic senators are really republican embeds.

After listening to Joseph Biden, I can count one.

3. After a few years, most of them turn into pragmatists
and have to "play the game".. That's why I favor term limits and making all lobbying illegal..(except for true citizen organizations)..

Public electoral financing,lobbying made illegal, and term limits would change the way America works. But it will never happen in my lifetime :(

4. I can't decide whether Lieberman
He could just be incredibly vain and bull-headed.

As the Germans, Austrians, and Russians said in Michener's Poland, when they met to discuss which Polish magnates they were paying off, "The man honestly converted works twice as hard as the one you pay."

However, I would wager that the upper levels of DNC and DLC have embeds, so do the candidacies of the frontrunners, Dean, Kerry, perhaps Clark.

This is just standard Bushevik procedure back to the days when they were Nixonviks.

Is anyone naive enough to think their aren't legions of Luci the Bats out there now?

I'll wager that, far from improving since the days of Wategate, the entire Watergate Contingent of "Ratfucking" encompasses merely a small portion of Current Bushevik Ops.

5. As Chomsky asserts,
class interests supercede political interests. Most Democratic senators are filthy rich white men who are on the same corporate gravy train as the Republicans.
