    Wow, did I just see the guy saying "Mod the troll down" get nailed faster than the actual troll? That's always worth a laugh.

    "Yes, I know the "MOD THE TROLL DOWN!" thing is a crapflood, but still.

    Seems to be that way.I beleive alot of truths will be coming out soon cant wait for Libby to be found guilty so they can go after the bigger fish {Cheney & Bush} and some Haliburton infromation is due out later this month by the Pentagon about more questionable accounting practices by Haliburton.And oh yea who can forget last weeks California Republican Congressman stepping down after addmitting to taking millions in bribes.Also the republican lobbiest who got a 100 million dollar contract to translate American Propaganda intro Arabic and oh yea the CIA secret prisons I could on and on but come on this aint Americans doing this but Republicans who were able to buy votes with there families money.Ask yourself this why would someone spend 100 million dollars to run for an office that only pays $400,000 a year and only lasts 4 years? I tell you the rest later but I think your a smart guy and can figure out the answer on your own.
