    Marked "Troll" in under 30 seconds.. wow. Somebody doesnt know the difference between "Stupid/Not Funny" and "Troll".

    Don't mark everything as "Troll" just because it's stupid! STUPID != TROLL.

    You are confused. What I stated is what the RNC says the Republican Party is about. So does GWB.

    The Republican Party is no longer conservative, they are all about keepeing and growing the amount of pwoer they have.

    For details of what we are purchasing, or if you have expertise and would like to help guide us, join the wikitech-l mailing list. [Note that when Wikipedia is down, the mailing list subscription is affected, too.]

    I would like to donate, but I do not donate to causes that try to hide what they will do with the money. And it looks like that is what is being done here.
